Protecting Liberty in an Age of Terror

Book

By Philip B. Heymann and Juliette Kayyem, Lecturer in Public Policy

Since September 11, 2001, much has been said about the difficult balancing act between freedom and security, but few have made specific proposals for how to strike that balance. As the scandals over the abuse of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib and the "torture memos" written by legal officials in the Bush administration show, without clear rules in place, things can very easily go very wrong.

First to Arrive: State and Local Responses to Terrorism

Book

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

Since September 11, 2001, the United States has been preoccupied by the federal role in preparedness against terror attacks and by ways to provide a quick fix through organizational overhauls. First to Arrive argues that the best way for America to prepare for terrorism is to listen to people in the field; those working on the ground can guide decisions at the top.

"The VA's Generational Problem"

Op-Ed, Boston Globe

By Juliette Kayyem, Lecturer in Public Policy

"The media-savvy, talking-point-hungry, Twitter-obsessed, Facebook-friending world that Shinseki is part of now doesn't interest him. Shinseki's reticence has its quaint appeal, but it doesn't represent the attitude of newer veterans, the 2.5 million Americans who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. More mobile, technological, opinionated, and media-friendly, these veterans aren't particularly tolerant of the problems the VA faces today."

"A Rainy Day Fund Doesn't Work if It's Always Raining"

Op-Ed, Boston Globe

By Juliette Kayyem, Lecturer in Public Policy

"...[G]overnment can also promote the freedom from harm. Past experiences in Oklahoma are illustrative. The state, no stranger to tornadoes, does not legally require safe rooms or underground shelters. Indeed, after a similar massive tornado struck Moore in 1999, disaster funds were focused solely on helping homeowners to rebuild what they lost; houses were constructed in exactly the same manner as before."

"The Art of Warfare"

Op-Ed, Boston Globe

By Juliette Kayyem, Lecturer in Public Policy

"...World War II's Ghost Army, a unit of handpicked G.I.s whose sole function was to deceive the Germans about the strength of America's military presence. Using rubber tanks, sound effects, and illusions of manpower, this group of young magicians tricked the Germans into believing they knew America's true plans."

"A Seat at the Arctic Table"

Op-Ed, Boston Globe

By Juliette Kayyem, Lecturer in Public Policy

"...[T]he Arctic Council agreed to let nations that, at last look at the map, are not located anywhere near the Arctic, join as observers. It may seem a diplomatic nicety, but it is the recognition that the Arctic Council nations no longer have a monopoly on the region. China, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Singapore are on a hunt for more energy and have their eyes on the waning polar ice caps."
