 Three years
from the October, 2002 release of the original edition of "No Greater Threat,"
an extensive (revised) Second Edition is now available. This new edition
of No Greater Threat presents, in a single volume, an extraordinarily comprehensive
overview of the "war on terrorism."
The Second Edition includes all text from the original edition, including
a unique and complete analysis of the entire USA PATRIOT Act, and contains
examinations of various anti-terrorism developments since the PATRIOT Act
to the close of 2004, unique to a single volume. The Second Edition also
features a further analysis of events related to the PATRIOT Act since
its enactment, and a complete review and analysis of THREE other major
legislative anti-terrorism events since 2001: the Homeland Security Act
(2002), the (proposed) Domestic Security Enhancement Act (2003) (often
called "PATRIOT Act II"), and the Intelligence Reform Act (2004).
"….This comprehensive
second edition is an important contribution to the national debate, and
a must have resource for anyone concerned about the direction of this country
in the `war on terrorism.' …"

the Constitution
Beyond these extremely significant analyses, the Second Edition goes
on to comment upon or examine: Congressional anti-terrorism proposals including
various proposals to amend or modify the PATRIOT Act, the Administration's
numerous "National Strategy" policy papers dealing with terrorism (including
"The National Strategy on Homeland Security" and "The National Security
Strategy of the United States"), the Supreme Court's 2004 terrorism decisions,
other federal appeals court decisions relating to terrorism (since the
PATRIOT Act), selected anti-terrorism prosecutions since 2002, the situation
in Guantanamo Bay / Camp Delta, the 9/11 Commission recommendations, and
various new or expanded government programs related to anti-terrorism.
The Second Edition then continues with an exhaustively detailed update
and review, as of the close of 2004, of the author's 12 common characteristics
of a national security state, with commentary on a host of recent developments
and current trends. The new Edition offers new "ratings" for those 12 characteristics.
This Second Edition is extensive and quite current. Issues discussed
in this Edition continue to be taken up by the Administration, Congress,
the courts, and the American public.
