I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome Amy Zalman, our new Guide to Terrorism Issues. Dr. Zalman will be covering many of the same War on Terror civil liberties controversies that I do, but from a slightly different perspective. While I speak primarily for the Bill of Rights, her background on terrorism issues is more global and scholarly. She will be able to speak authoritatively to the context of counterterrorism strategy in a way that I presently cannot.

Although the Terrorism Issues site is fairly new, Dr. Zalman has already written a great deal of interesting civil liberties related content that complements, and is complemented by, my own. Take these pages, for example:

• A History of Terrorism.
• Profiling Airline Passengers: Pros and Cons; for a civil liberties perspective on this issue, see Levy: Can Ethnic Profiling Be Constitutional?
• A Profile of the New Detainee Bill; for my civil liberties focused profile of the bill, see The Torture Bill.
• Iraq War Definitions: Abu Ghraib; for my discussion of torture methods used at Abu Ghraib Prison and elsewhere, see American Torture.
• Hezbollah on TV: Al-Manar; for more on the free speech implications of al-Manar, see my discussion of the Javed Iqbal controversy.
• Sanctions Against Iran: Pros and Cons; for more on Iran's human rights record, be sure to also check out my profile of human rights in Iran.

And that's only scratching the surface. If you like what you've read so far, be sure to subscribe to the new Terrorism Issues newsletter for weekly updates on new content related to terrorism, the War on Terror, and more!
