Terrorism, sadly, seems here to stay and to stay with a vengeance. It seems that the United States was not prepared for it and now must play catch-up. In doing so, even an agreement on how to define terrorism is in doubt and what to do about it seems beyond comprehension at the moment. This volume presents a broad cross-section of analyses of weaknesses and actions in the ongoing battle, including: An overview of the U.N. Convention against torture and the removal of aliens, ocean piracy and its impact on insurance, the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India and the implications for U.S. interests, addressing Guantanamo detainees and analysis of selected legislative proposals, border security along the U.S. international border, amendments to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act set to expire in 2009, Latin American terrorism issues, 'Homeland Security Intelligence', 'Renditions' and constraints imposed by laws on torture, enemy combatant detainees and habeas corpus, and the emergence of the Lal Masjid as a militant entity in Pakistan. This book consists partially of public documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.
