Crimes of terror : the legal and political implications of federal terrorism prosecutions / Wadie E. Said. - [First edition]. - 1 online resource

Includes bibliographical references and index.

The U.S. government's power to categorise individuals as terrorist suspects and therefore ineligible for certain long-standing constitutional protections has expanded exponentially since 9/11, all the while remaining resistant to oversight. This book provides a comprehensive and uniquely up-to-date dissection of the government's advantages over suspects in criminal prosecutions of terrorism, which are driven by a preventive mindset that purports to stop plots before they can come to fruition.
