    Book Review

What Constitutes "Intelligence" For A Court?

| —Author: AuthorMarc Tyrrell

I do not find it surprising that what constitutes "evidence" for an intelligence organization is measured by different criteria from that of the courts.  This is only to be expected.  What is surprising, however, is that an intelligence agency would consider that it could either present or hide such evidence from the courts.  I find this especially bothersome because such actions only serve to undermine the credibility of the agency rather than to protect it.

The Long and Strange Journey of Abousfian Abdelrazik

| —Author: AuthorJohn Matthew Barlow

Right now, 5.10pm EST, Abousfian Abdelrazik is sitting in a lounge at Toronto's Lester B. Pearson International Airport, awaiting his connecting flight to Montréal, about an hour away from Toronto by air.  He landed in Canada about 20 minutes ago.  It has been a long time coming.  In 2003, Abdelrazik, a naturalised Canadian citizen, flew back to the Sudan to visit his ailing mother.  He hasn't been home since.

Whither New UK Cyber Strategy?

| —Author: AuthorTim Stevens

So, the UK government has this morning launched its new Cyber Security Strategy. Well, I say published - I can't find a copy of it yet. Fulfilling one of the worst-kept secrets in Whitehall two new units are going to come onstream in the next few months. First, an Office of Cyber Security within the Cabinet Office and, second, a Cyber Security Operations Centre (CSOC) based at GCHQ in Cheltenham. I guess we can expect all sorts of internecine wrangling and internally contradictory strategy. All this, of course, because - as Security Minister

Non-military military cyberspace

| —Author: AuthorEric Randolph

The militarisation of cyberspace hit a landmark today when Secretary of Defense Robert Gates announced the formation of Cybercom (how 1980s does that sound?!), and appointed the director of the National Security Agency, Lt Gen Keith Alexander, to run it. Following Obama's Cyberspace Policy Review, announced recently, the new organisation will coordinate the Pentagon's assets against criminal and security threats in the ether. Tim Stevens has a wise critique of the Policy Review over here.

Amos Guiora on Israeli Administrative Detention

| —Author: AuthorKenneth Anderson

CTLab readers might be interested in checking out the very interesting series of posts on administrative detention on the Israeli legal model at the international law blog Opinio Juris.  Professor Guiora (Univ of Utah law faculty) was an Israeli JAG officer for 19 years, and is able to bring a detailed expertise to the comparative issues of detention in counterterrorism.  I raise a question to him about how comparable the US and Israeli and European situations are from a legal and strategic standpoint.  Start here and scroll upwards for the posts.
