For those interested in the legal challenges posed by the “war on terror” [1], this Friday’s broadcast of “The Agenda” [2], on TVOntario, will have an interview with my good friend Ben Wittes [3], a scholar at the Brookings Institution and author of the recent book Law and the Long War: The Future of Justice in the Age of Terror [4]. Well worth a look, especially for those who comfort themselves with the idea that maximal protection for human rights entails no trade-offs in terms of security – or vice versa.
