They provide an insight into the judicial vehicles being used to counter the surveillance program, as well as the legislative justifications and criticisms of the activity. With the materials contained here, the reader can more easily comprehend the rationales proffered to support or contest the program, and more readily understand the reality of the political processes which propel the executive, judicial and legislative branches in the United States.

Volume 76This volume exhaustively explores the habeas corpus crisis triggered by U.S. detention of suspected terrorists in Guantanamo Bay. Volume 77This volume addresses three major issues of Terrorism law facing the U.S. in late 2006. The first topic is Congress's assessment of where the country's security stands on the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11th attacks. The second section of the volume offers discussion (both in CRS Reports and in Congressional testimony) related to the weaknesses in the U.S. intelligence community. The volume concludes with an analysis of recent legislative approaches to defending the U.S. from terrorist threats. Volume 78This volume provides a timely review of terrorist developments in several troubled regions of the world. The CRS reports and Congressional testimony appearing here present updates on Afghanistan, Central Asia, China, Iran, Latin America, and perhaps the most incendiary region in the summer of 2006: Lebanon. Volume 79This volume presents scholarly discussion on the intersection of science and terror. Specifically, Volume 79 includes testimony and CRS and GAO reports on agroterrorism, bioterrorism, chemical security, energy security, and nuclear security. Volume 80This volume maintains the series' focus on U.S. congressional testimony and think-tank articles, but the volume also embarks on a new course: primary source documents from the UN and NATO on international measures in combatting terrorism. Volume 81This volume updates readers on three issues at the forefront of U.S policymaking: restrictions on civil liberties in the war on terror, the threats of biological and nuclear terrorism, and budgetary considerations in the counter-terrorism effort.Volume 82: Covers domestic security, and its documents focus specifically on infrastructure security, maritime security, and the homeland's level of preparedness for various threats. Authoritative information on these topics changes often, and this volume will elucidate for readers the many changes that have occurred so far this year. Both the Congressional testimony and the agency reports provided in this volume serve that purpose.Volume 83: This volume's theme is transportation security. While such a volume will obviously include much discussion of aviation issues, part of this release also addresses public transit and rail security, including a House of Representatives report on the Rail and Public Transportation Act of 2007. Within the large aviation section, though, the highlights include a GAO review of changes to the "prohibited items" list and a Senate hearing on the 9/11 Commissions' recommendations. Government practitioners and university scholars will need to know these new developments in federal policy in order to ensure that their research is current.Volume 84:This volume's coverage focuses on Iraq, and especially the public debate over where to turn next in the war. The highlights of this volume are General Petraeus's report to Congress and the text of President Bush's televised national address on what he sees as U.S. progress in Iraq. Other key documents in this edition are the more nuanced studies from the Government Accountability Office and the Independent Commission for Iraq. Along with the text of proposed legislation and other authoritative assessments on the war's progress, these documents provide both knowledgeable researchers and curious lay readers with the analysis necessary to understand a complex, ongoing controversy.Volume 85:This volume's coverage focuses on the U.S. government's surveillance, interrogation, and detention of suspected terrorists. Highlights of this volume involve the U.S. government's increasingly common practice of seeking intelligence through torture (or the threat thereof):Maher Arar is a Canadian engineer arrested by U.S. officials as he passed through a New York airport en route from Europe to Montreal. Those officials arranged for Arar to be placed ultimately in the hands of Syrian officials who tortured him despite the complete lack of evidence against him. Vol. 85 includes Arar's own account of his travels, as presented to Congress in October 2007.This volume also includes the two Higazy case opinions which center on an Egyptian student at a U.S. college who wrongfully detained by U.S. officials in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. Volume 85 features both opinions for comparison purposes. Although several blogs have also posted the original opinion, Vol. 85 provides what may be the only print version available to the general public.Volume 86:With this new volume, Oxford Law introduces the expert commentary and editing of Professor Douglas C. Lovelace, Director of the Strategic Studies Institute at the Army War College. Volume 86 explores the large body of national security and military strategies currently in effect for the U.S. Volume 87:primarily focuses on the similarly difficult topic of how the U.S. may best secure its homeland. By dividing this topic into three prominent categories (aviation security, maritime security, and domestic security), Professor Lovelace expertly presents a summary of current U.S. security policy and assesses the value of those policies. Within the domestic security category, he also provides detailed guidance on such specialized issues as bio-defense and the connection between the drug trade and terrorist financing.Volume 88constitutes the Terrorism Series' first expansion into non-U.S. legal regimes, and this initial volume deals solely with the UK's approach to security law. Ever since the London bombings of July 7th, 2005, the UK has been faced with the challenge of improving the nation's security while maintaining its proud tradition of civil liberties.Volume 89introduces Terrorism researchers to the realm of European Union security law. With an ever-expanding immigrant population and a rising Islamic presence within Europe, the EU's quickly developing security law demands the kind of topically organized document collection that Volume 89 constitutes.Volume 90provides readers with a detailed and insightful exposition of the law of presidential war powers. The recent expansion of those powers by the Bush Administration has created uncertainty as to where the legal limits for Executive Branch military and surveillance activity currently lie. In this volume, Professor Douglas Lovelace identifies those limits through both his presentation of relevant documents and his expert commentary of the meaning behind those documents.

Including many older documents not available electronically or otherwise accessible, this three-volume set provides the first comprehensive collection of key documents, statements, and testimony on U.S. government counterterrorism policies as they have evolved in the face of the changing terrorist threats. Selected executive and congressional materials highlight the government's diverse policy and program responses to terrorism. The testimony, statements, and documents provide the public articulation and face to the largely important intelligence, law enforcement, preventative security measures, and international cooperation used in the shadowy war against terrorism. Recent entries provide a handy compilation of important post-9/11 materials. For example, useful background information on U.S. actions against Osama bin Laden, the Taliban, and Saddam Hussein and terrorism fundraising. Also included are statements from the Reagan and other administrations that relate to disputes over the appropriate use of force. Introductory chapters by Alexander and Kraft provide the historical context and analysis of previous and current U.S. counterterrorism policy including U.S. legislation.For over two centuries, America has faced occasional outbreaks of terrorism, perpetrated by both indigenous and foreign groups. But the spectacular bombing in Oklahoma City in 1995 and the September 11, 2001, attacks seemed to signify a new age, frightening many Americans and destroying their sense of domestic security. In addition, U.S. citizens and interests have been increasingly affected by acts of terrorism abroad. The challenges of terrorism, therefore, have required the United States to develop comprehensive strategies and programs to counter both conventional and unconventional threats, nationally and globally.

Since his election, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran has reversed the more moderate and pluralistic policies of his predecessor and projected himself onto the public scene with headline-grabbing speeches regarding Jews and the state of Israel, open defiance of the UN Security Council on the nuclear issue, and an apparent vision of his country becoming the dominant power in the Middle East. This book documents Ahmadenijad's background and rise to power. It explains the current structure of the Iranian revolutionary government—the competing centers of power and the major players. In separate sections, it details the terrorist groups funded and armed by Iran, primarily Hezbollah and Hamas. And it provides a comprehensive picture of Iran's apparent aspirations to acquire nuclear weapons, as well as the related implications for regional and global security concerns.Iran's nuclear ambitions are in direct conflict with the wishes of the United States, the European Union, and many of the governments of the Middle East, leading to consequences that remain uncertain. Iran is a focus of attention in the most recent war in Lebanon, expanding its influence as a (the?) major supporter and supplier of Hezbollah. And Iran is cited in the most recent annual U.S. State Department report on terrorism as the country that is the most active sponsor of terrorism.

A provocative new look at an important security topic examines terrorist threats and attacks on shipping and ports—and provides strategies for safety.Terror on the High Seas: From Piracy to Strategic Challenge is a provocative look at maritime security and the steps that must be taken if terrorist threats are to be nullified. From the Achille Lauro hijacking to the bombing of the USS Cole to attacks on shipping channels, terrorists have employed a variety of tactics, both successful and unsuccessful. These have included the smuggling of arms and plots to bomb shipyards, as well as attacks on Merchant Marine ships, maritime offices, fuel storage facilities, and Navy personnel, ships, and facilities, on shore and in port. This book constitutes the first research effort after the unprecedented attacks of September 11, 2001, to provide government, industry, and the academic and policy communities with a major resource on potential threats to the maritime environment. Assuming that past tactics, as well as a variety of other unconventional attacks, will be utilized by both domestic and international groups well into the 21st century, the book sagely outlines the response needed from government and industry to meet the coming challenges.

This unique work analyzes for the first time how foreign-affinity terrorism works in a major democratic nation like the United States, and what this country must do to survive the terror challenge, on both conventional and unconventional levels.To date, no definitive study has dealt specifically with the role of American citizens in supporting a foreign political, ideological, and religious illegal agenda. Terrorists in Our Midst: Combating Foreign-Affinity Terrorism in America remedies that as six expert authors discuss the threats of Americans to security interests in the United States and elsewhere, exploring what can and should be done to reduce a risk that may threaten the very survival of the free world.Terrorists in Our Midst focuses not only on foreign nationals operating in the United States, but also on American citizens participating in terror networks at home and abroad. The book presents an overview of both conventional and unconventional terrorism, surveys the terrorist threat in the United States by state and nonstate actors, and analyzes the foreign-affinity links of American operatives in this country and abroad. Most important for the safety and security of the United States, it offers an assessment of what policies worked and what did not work, specifying a “best practices” agenda of recommendations that should be adopted by the United States and the international community.Contributions from six distinguished academics and professionals with wide experiences in public and private serviceCase studies of the major U.S. counterterrorism strategies, including intelligence, law enforcement, border security, financial issues, and civil liberties concerns increase public and governmental understanding of the risks of, and possible responses to, future foreign-affinity terrorismA compilation of selected American foreign-affinity terrorists operating at home and abroad

When originally published in 1984, this book was the first detailed study of terrorism in Ireland.

The book reveals the complexity of the terrorist problem and dispels some of the myths that have grown up around Irish terrorism.
