This book explores the legal challenges of balancing national security needs with civil liberties and human rights in the United States and abroad in the wake of 9/11.
David K. Linnan is Associate Professor of Law, University of South Carolina. A scholar of comparative, economic, and public international law with a special interest in the law of armed conflict, he studied humanities at Emory University (B.A. 1976) and law at the University of Chicago (J.D. 1979), where he was comment editor of the law review.
The contributors explore the legal dilemmas raised by the wars in
Afghanistan and Iraq, arguing that the 'war on terror' has
challenged even long-standing legal principles. They look at
current debates surrounding intelligence-gathering, civil
liberties, responses to terrorist threats, limits on interrogation,
treatment of prisoners and preventive conflicts.
