Abu Hamza: Guilty

My Fight Against Radical Islam
Réda Hassaïne and Kurt Barling
Few people in the United States may have heard of Abu Hamza
before his trial began in New York in June 2014. He will be sen-
tenced to life in prison in the autumn of 2014 for offenses that led
to the kidnapping and murder of American citizens, the support
of Al Qaeda’s international terrorist mission, and creating insta-
bility in the West that will continue for a generation. He inspired
young men to take up arms against their own countries of birth in
the name of Islamic jihad; he encouraged ordinary men and
women to cause harm and terror. This is an original story of how
a simple man became an international menace, told by two jour-
nalists who tried to warn the world before it was too late.
Réda Hassaïne has worked as an investigative journalist for the
Daily Mail, Newsweek, the Sunday Times, and the Times, as well
as French Television station France2. Kurt Barling has been a BBC
journalist for a quarter of a century working at every level of
broadcast journalism. He is a professor of journalism at Middlesex
University, London.

Excerpt:
Réda was unusual as a source in that he understood the business of journalism. It made me cautious at first because a poacher
turned gamekeeper can play games with your storyline that you cannot necessarily detect at first sight. He was obsessed with
Abu Hamza and his perceived wickedness, and he didn’t take kindly to being contradicted on this subject. The more I witnessed
how Abu Hamza was conducting himself at Finsbury Park Mosque and in the media, in particular his insistence on carrying on
Friday prayers in the street after the Charity Commission evicted him from the mosque building, the more I recognised the
grounds for Réda’s frustration. Seeing the authorities seemingly in denial I grew to admire Réda’s tenacity.
We began to trust each other, and it was in this way that I became the first broadcaster to reveal his involvement with the
security services, on a report for BBC News—something never denied by the authorities. The least I could do was to be a good
listener.
Hassaïne was still attending Hamza’s sermons as an undercover informant when, in the middle of 2000, supporters had
decided to go to New York to raise funds to funnel to Finsbury Park Mosque in support of Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. This
all came long after President Clinton had declared such activity illegal (July 4th 1999), but one of the hallmarks of the jihadists
is that they do not believe in man-made laws, unless—as in Hamza’s case—it gives them the ability to claim human rights
abuses by the British state. Indeed, in the attempt to prevent his extradition to the United States his lawyers made the case
that his human rights would be abused.
After Mohammed Atta flew the plane into the Twin Towers, his inspiration was traced back to, among others, Abu Qatada.
(Videos of Qatada’s semons were found in the Hamburg appartment of Qatada when it was searched after the 9/11 attacks
according to Press Association, 17.1.12.)

In This Arab Time

The Pursuit of Deliverance
Fouad Ajami
In this collection of bold and wide-ranging essays, Fouad Ajami
offers his views on the Middle East, commenting on the state of
affairs in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Egypt, and more. He brings into focus the
current struggles of the region through detailed historical stand-
points and a highly personal perspective. The author discusses such
landmark past events as the Algerian civil war, the state of the Arab
world shortly after 9/11, and the pan-Arab awakening that began in
2011, as well as current events such as the Syrian rebellion and the
repercussions of its brutal response from Bashar al-Assad. In addi-
tion, he sheds new light on some of the significant players in the
Arab world, past and present, from Naguib Mahfouz, the Nobel
laureate of the Arabs, to Ziad Jarrah—the terrorist who is thought
to have been at the controls of the plane forced down by its heroic
passengers in Shanksville, Pennsylvania on 9/11.
Fouad Ajami was a MacArthur Fellow, a Lebanese-born American
university professor, and a prolific writer on Middle Eastern issues.
He was a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and the cochair of
the Herbert and Jane Dwight Working Group on Islamism and the
International Order. From 1980 to 2011 he was a professor and
director of Middle East studies at Johns Hopkins School of
Advanced International Studies. He has written numerous books,
including The Arab Predicament, Beirut: City of Regrets, The
Foreigner’s Gift, and The Syrian Rebellion.

Speaking the Law

The Obama Administration’s Addresses
on National Security Law
Kenneth Anderson and Benjamin Wittes
When Barack Obama came into office, the strategic landscape facing
the United States in its overseas counterterrorism operations was
undergoing a shift. Even before the rise of drones necessitated the
articulation of legal doctrine, the Obama administration had to
explain itself. In Speaking the Law, the authors offer a detailed exam-
ination of the speeches of the Obama administration on national
security legal issues. Viewed together here for the first time, the
authors lay out a broad array of legal and policy positions regarding
a large number of principles currently contested at both the domestic
and international levels. The book describes what the Obama admin-
istration has said about the legal framework in which it is operating
with respect to such questions as the nature of the war on terrorism,
the use of drones and targeted killings, detention, trial by military
commission and in federal courts, and interrogation. The authors
analyze this framework, examining the stresses on it and asking
where the administration got matters right and where they were
wrong. They conclude with suggestions for certain reforms to the
framework for the administration and Congress to consider.
Kenneth Anderson is a professor of international law at Washington
College of Law, American University in Washington, DC, and the
author of Living with the UN. He is a visiting fellow at the Hoover
Institution, where he is also a member of the Task Force on
National Security and Law. Benjamin Wittes is a senior fellow in
governance studies at the Brookings Institution, the codirector of
the Harvard Law School-Brookings Project on Law and Security,
and a member of the Hoover Institution Task Force on National
Security and Law. They both live in Washington, DC.

Excerpt:
The use of speeches to express opinio juris or to declare international legal views, interpretations of law, or policies that the
government believes fulfill its international law obligations is not new. On the contrary, law and diplomacy have traditionally
fused the two together in high-level addresses and statements given by statesmen, diplomats, and government leaders—some
of them in the form of statements directly to foreign governments and others as statements by the executive to Congress. The
Monroe Doctrine, for example, fused policy and legal views of the United States, consistent with practices of the time, and it
was first delivered as part of President James Monroe’s Message to Congress in 1823. Secretaries of state have delivered the
international legal views of the United States in many forms, ranging from speeches to exchanges of diplomatic letters, since
the earliest days of the republic. With the rise of multilateral diplomacy over the last sixty years—and not merely state-to-state
bilateral relations—statements or speeches addressed to whole groups of states have become a more important mechanism
for conveying the nation’s legal views, tending to replace the exchange of bilateral diplomatic notes or letters.
But an administration, over the course of four years, gives a great many speeches. A project analyzing the doctrine laid out
in those speeches thus necessarily faces a problem of selection: which to include, which to leave out. The relevant set of
speeches, in our view, includes those given by either White House officials or Senate-confirmed lawyers which articulate the
legal authorities claimed by the administration in prosecuting the conflict. Viewed in combination with one another, and
supplemented where necessary by more detailed statements in litigation or policy documents, these speeches represent the
closest thing to a doctrine of the conflict the administration has given—one that is, in fact, significantly more elaborated than
many people seem to imagine.

Nuclear Security
The Problems and the Road Ahead
George P. Shultz, Sidney D. Drell, Henry A. Kissinger,
and Sam Nunn
Concern about the threat posed by nuclear weapons has preoccu-
pied the United States and presidents of the United States since the
beginning of the nuclear era. Nuclear Security draws from papers
presented at the 2013 meeting of the American Nuclear Society
examining worldwide efforts to control nuclear weapons and
ensure the safety of the nuclear enterprise of weapons and reac-
tors against catastrophic accidents. The distinguished contribu-
tors, all known for their long-standing interest in getting better
control of the threats posed by nuclear weapons and reactors, dis-
cuss what we can learn from past successes and failures and
attempt to identify the key ingredients for a road ahead that can
lead us toward a world free of nuclear weapons. The authors
review historical efforts to deal with the challenge of nuclear
weapons, with a focus on the momentous arms control negotia-
tions between U.S. president Ronald Reagan and Mikhail
Gorbachev. They offer specific recommendations for reducing
risks that should be adopted by the nuclear enterprise, both mili-
tary and civilian, in the United States and abroad. Since the risks
posed by the nuclear enterprise are so high, they conclude, no rea-
sonable effort should be spared to ensure safety and security.

Fiction by David Vogel

David Vogel was a Hebrew poet and novelist who was born in 1891 in Satanov, Podolia, modern day Ukraine. After the outbreak
of World War II, he was imprisoned by the French as an Austrian citizen, and later by the Nazis as a Jew. In 1944, he was deported
to Auschwitz, where he perished.

Hype
Bestsellers and Literary Culture
Edited by Jon Helgason, Sara Kärrholm, and Ann Steiner
In the world of books and literature, “hype” is associated with
bestsellerism—the books that sell the most, are read by vast num-
bers, and constantly talked about in media and staff rooms. Often,
it is the success in itself that generates an interest because popular-
ity begets popularity. Quite often though, a hyped bestseller is met
with a skeptic criticism of poor language, a badly constructed plot,
a predictable story line, or all three. The bestseller phenomenon is
sometimes conceived as a threat against “real” literature. Research
into the creation, reception, and meaning of bestsellers is utterly
scarce and Hype: Bestsellers and Literary Culture is an important
contribution to the understanding of the literature read by the
masses. Popular literature plays an important role in the lives of
millions of readers, offering entertainment, social commentary,
and alternate perspectives on everyday life. This volume brings
together such diverse issues as the creation of hype, the role and
the meaning of the author in the present-day media landscape,
changes in the book trade, and the relationship between bestsellers
and research into them. Further articles give an historical overview
on postapocalyptic stories, desert romances and the role of the
authors. This book offers new knowledge on a subject that is
increasingly popular within university curricula. Although the
anthology is a work of academic research the texts are of equal
interest to general readers.
Jon Helgason is an editor of the dictionary from the Swedish
Academy and a researcher in comparative literature at Lund
University. He is a coeditor of Women’s Language: An Analysis
of Style and Expression in Letters Before 1800. Sara Kärrholm is
associate professor in literature and publishing studies at Lund
University, Sweden. Her research has mainly been performed within
literary studies with an interdisciplinary approach concerning pop-

Rowing After the White Whale

A Crossing of the Indian Ocean by Hand
James Adair
Over a boozy Sunday lunch, flatmates James Adair and Ben
Stenning made a promise to row across the ocean. At first they
considered the Pacific, then the Atlantic, but once James and Ben
completed the high-profile Atlantic Rowing Race, their thoughts
turned to the Indian Ocean, longer and tougher than the Atlantic
and having seen fewer people row across its waters than have
walked on the Moon. After years of planning and fundraising,
they are ready to launch in the spring of 2011. Neither James nor
Ben had any rowing or sailing experience. To add to this, James
had paralyzed feet as a result of contracting Guillain-Barre syn-
drome at the age of 14. It locked his body into total paralysis for
three months while his mind had remained completely active, and
lack of the ability to move his feet was its result. This adventure
was a challenge that neither man should have ever considered, yet
it is chronicled in this harrowing story.
James Adair is a former editor of the Alderney Journal, wrote a
column in the Guernsey Press, and wrote freelance articles for the
Times’ Books and News sections. He is currently a ship broker
based in Ghana.

flat we’d discuss the mad scheme over shepherd’s pie and red wine.
“We really have to do the rowing, no matter what.”
“Yeah, definitely.”
“I’m not kidding, Ben. We have to get out there as soon as we can.”
“I’m ready now.”
“No, but really, we should really do it.”
“Stop worrying, Adair. We both know when we get out there I’ll end up doing all the rowing.”
“Will you be bringing those mustard coloured corduroys of yours?”
“Absolutely. Will you be bringing your riding boots?”

miles of yarn to create the 160 panels that make up this extraordinary work of art. Like the Bayeux tapestry, the Great Tapestry
of Scotland has been created on embroidered cloth, and it is annotated in English, Gaelic, Scots and Latin.
