Editorial Review Product Description Nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) weapons delivered covertly byterrorists or hostile governments pose a significant and growing threatto the United States and other countries. Although the threat of NBCattack is widely recognized as a central national security issue, mostanalysts have assumed that the primary danger is military use by statesin war, with traditional military means of delivery. The threat ofcovert attack has been imprudently neglected. Covert attack is hard to deter or prevent, and NBC weapons suitable forcovert attack are available to a growing range of states and groupshostile to the United States. At the same time, constraints on their useappear to be eroding. This volume analyzes the nature and limits of thecovert NBC threat and proposes a measured set of policy responses,focused on improving intelligence and consequence-managementcapabilities to reduce U.S. vulnerability.

"There's an end to all your talk about the virtual-this is something real!" (p.28)
falsely profound and profoundly false
America Sacrifice referes to his thesis in symbolic exchange and death that the only resistance to the 'system' is suicide, building on the third volume of Marx's Capital; so that dead labour now outweighs living labour, we all live in a world of death, the only refusal is to stop the system killin us. As the editor of the edition of 'The Gulf war did not take place' that I read showed; many people criticsed Baudrillard comparing him to a classical 'enlightenment' thinker like Noam Chomsky. But this edition then had a quote by Chomsky in the intro where he said it wasn't a 'war' because that conventionally meant two sides fighting against each other. Similarly, Baudrillard's point that we have all imagined the collapse of american empire; in a couple of different places in his work on US foreign policy Chomsky talks about the war mongers in Vietnam and what they said about the 'VC', hypothesising what they would have done if the VC had launched attacks in downtown New York. Besides which, why should Baudrillard have to explain himself to you in any case? If we can't see through the oxymoronism of a 'War on Terrorism' we deserve to blown up in densly populated city centres like the sheep we are.

51. The Israeli Secret Services and the Struggle Against Terrorism (Columbia Studies in Terrorism and Irregular Warfare) by Ami Pedahzur | |

Editorial Review Product Description While Mossad is known as one of the world's most successful terrorist-fighting organizations, the state of Israel has, more than once and on many levels, risked the lives of its agents and soldiers through unwise intelligence-based intervention. The elimination of Palestinian leaders and militants has not decreased the incidence of Palestinian terrorism, for example. In fact, these incidents have become more lethal than ever, and ample evidence suggests that the actions of Israeli intelligence have fueled terrorist activities across the globe. An expert on terror and political extremism, Ami Pedahzur argues that Israel's strict reliance on the elite units of the intelligence community is fundamentally flawed. A unique synthesis of memoir, academic research, and information gathered from print and online sources, Pedahzur's complex study explores this issue through Israel's past encounters with terrorists, specifically hostage rescue missions, the first and second wars in Lebanon, the challenges of the West Bank and Gaza, Palestinian terrorist groups, and Hezbollah. He brings a rare transparency to Israel's counterterrorist activities, highlighting their successes and failures and the factors that have contributed to these results. From the foundations of this analysis, Pedahzur ultimately builds a strategy for future confrontation that will be relevant not only to Israel but also to other countries that have adopted Israel's intelligence-based model.

Editorial Review Product Description Unit One of the book introduces key terms and addresses important strategic and policy debates. Authors explain how the new forms of terrorism affect the post-9/11 security environment and introduce the notion that weapons of mass destruction could give terrorists short-term, asymmetric attack advantages over conventional military forces. Unit Two offers detailed accounts of the characteristics, availability, and dangers of specific types of WMD, along with four case studies that associate theory with practice—an important feature of this volume. Unit Three deals with past, present, and future national and international responses to—and defenses against—the threat of WMD terrorism. And in the final section of the volume, authors predict future WMD threats and seek to draw on past events and mistakes in order to identify lessons and strategies for the future. Appendices include a primer on bioterrorism and fact sheets on chemical, biological, nuclear and radiological terrorism. |

Editorial Review Product Description Economist and best-selling author Loretta Napoleoni traces the link between the finances of the war on terror and the global economic crisis, finding connections from Dubai to London to Las Vegas that politicians and the media have at best ignored. In launching military and propaganda wars in the Middle East, America overlooked the war of economic independence waged by Al-Qaeda. The Patriot Act boosted the black market economy, and the war on terror prompted a rise in oil prices that led to food riots and distracted governments from the trillion-dollar machinations of Wall Street. Consumers and taxpayers, spurred by propaganda fears, were lured into crushing global debt. Napoleoni shows that if we do not face up to the many serious connections between our response to 9/11 and the financial crisis, we will never work our way out of the looming global recession that now threatens our way of life. While we feared that Al-Qaeda might destroy our world, Wall Street ripped it apart. Loretta Napoleoni is the author of the best-selling book Terror Inc.: Tracing the Money Behind Global Terrorism, which has been translated into twelve languages, and Rogue Economics: Capitalism’s New Reality, which has been translated into fourteen languages. One of the world’s leading experts on money laundering and terror financing, she has worked as London correspondent and columnist for La Stampa, La Repubblica, El País, and Le Monde. A former Fulbright Scholar, she holds an MA in international relations and economics from Johns Hopkins University, and an MPhil in terrorism from the London School of Economics. She lives in London and Montana. Customer Reviews (2)

Editorial Review Product Description September 11, 2001 saw the deadliest attack ever launched on American soil, leaving us asking questions such as: Why did God permit such a thing to happen? Was the attack a divine judgment or was it merely an atrocity perpetrated by the forces of evil? How can human beings be capable of such diabolical savagery in the name of religion? And what is the right course of action for our government to take?John MacArthur points us to the Bible for answers to these and many other questions arising out the recent atrocities.He educates readers to the roots of the conflict, linking the religious and political issues that underlie the current turmoil to the Old Testament.

Real Victory of Jihad
short, sweet, and biblical...
Give ear to MacArthur...He speaks the truth...
Forgive me, for I am a sinner.....
Very simplistic. A real Christian would not write this. MacArthur takes Koranic verses out of context, including historical context, to make his point. One could also take Biblical verses out of context and portray the Bible as a book that encourages hate and violence. For example, most Muslims don't believe in viirgins in heaven. This is an interpretation of extremists Muslims (mainly Wahhabis, Deobandis and Salafis) rather than the mainstream. By using the most extreme interpretations of the Islamic faith he has portrayed his own anti-Islamic biases. When Christians falsify Islamic history, the life of Muhammad, and the Koran to suit our prejudices and biases we are violating our own faith, which teaches us to treat our neighbor the way we want to be treated. I wouldn't want my faith attacked and misrepresented, therefore I will not do the same to others. Considering that Christian South America has the highest rate of terrrorist attacks every year I feel that MacArthur is seeing the speck in his neighbor's eye while ignoring the beam in his own. If you want bias and a superficial treatment of the issue of the current chaos in the Muslim world you will like this book. If you want an intelligent, scholarly explanation, I suggest you read the works of Ahmed Rashid, David Fromkin's A Peace to End All Peace, Hamid Algar's Wahhabism: A Critical Essay, and Israelis and Palestinians by Bernard Wasserstein. ...
