This sourcebook of leading cases, laws, treaties, documents, and websites focuses on understanding national security law in broad context and highlights the pressure on the rights of individuals in today's increasingly security-minded society, with its newer threats of transnational terrorism and renewed defense challenges in global relations. Topics include executive-congressional authority, treaty relations, the judiciary in foreign affairs, domestic incorporation of international law, the use of force, the intelligence community, and surveillance. Hard-to-find government reports from a multitude of agencies and departments are excerpted on topics including torture, detention, rendition, war crimes, wiretaps, arms exports, defense acquisition, terrorism ligitation, and liability of private contractors.
