"Tortured Arguments: The Rules Are for Us, Not the Terrorists"

Op-Ed, Washington Post, Sunday Outlook

By Juliette Kayyem, Lecturer in Public Policy

Like every other country, the United States has, in the name of security, made mistakes that we admit only later. What separates us from those regimes we abhor isn't that we never act cruelly.

From One Commission to Another: Shut Up

Op-Ed, New York Times

By Juliette Kayyem, Lecturer in Public Policy

There is a growing chorus of criticism against members of the 9/11 commission that they are behaving like partisan players in what was supposed to be an objective review of the terrorist attacks.

Op-Ed, Christian Science Monitor

By Juliette Kayyem, Lecturer in Public Policy

First to Arrive: State and Local Responses to Terrorism

Book

By Robyn Pangi, Former Research Specialist, Executive Session on Domestic Preparedness, International Security Program and Juliette Kayyem, Lecturer in Public Policy
