The War on Terrorism And the Rule of Law
"Richard Pious has written this timely, much-needed, definitive book on important issues and cases arising from controversies about the rule of law in counterterrorism and the post-9/11 'war on terrorism' in particular. I recommend this volume very highly as mandatory reading and basis of discussions in courses on terrorism and counterterrorism, civil liberties, human rights, war and peace, constitutional law, and American government (i.e., the presidency, the congress, and the judiciary)."--Bridgette Nacos,Columbia University"This volume is essential reading for citizens and members of Congress interested in preserving liberty, security and the rule of law. Students and scholars alike will profit from a careful reading of this powerful book."--Dave Adler,Idaho State University"With his usual clarity and unique skills in organizing complex materials, Pious identifies the fundamental questions--political and constitutional--that require close and reasoned debate, not just by elected officials but by the public at large. Basic documents are laid out in convenient fashion to facilitate this much-needed process of public scrutiny."--Louis Fisher, Author ofMilitary Tribunals and Presidential Power--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
