Falkoff1 The idea to publish a volume of detainee poetry came to me, oddly enough, while I was reading a book of poems written by a U.S. infantry team leader during his stint in the Iraq War. As I paged through Brian Turner’s Here, Bullet, I was struck by how the soldier-poet opened himself to the strangeness of the Mesopotamian war zone, shoring fragments from the battlefield to build poems of terrible stillness and beauty. In “In the Leupold Scope,” for example, Turner imagines a soldier on a rooftop, peering through a spotting scope and witnessing an Iraqi woman hanging laundry from a clothesline: She is dressing the dead, clothing them as they wait in silence, the pigeons circling as fumestacks billow a noxious black smoke.

  • Detention at Guantánamo
    Chapter 1 Detention at Guantánamo Soon after September 11, Guantánamo Bay became the most prominent public stage for many of the nation’s detention policies, which were then played out before attentive audiences in America and the rest of the world. Once Guantánamo became the nation’s designated jail for suspected terrorists, it came to serve many symbolic and actual roles. It was a major testing ground for the government’s policy of engaging in highly coercive interrogation techniques, practices designed to visit torment on detainees in the expectation or hope they would give up important and usable intelligence to help fight the new style of war in which the United States found itself. It was the principal place where the government’s mostly unannounced shift in policy from detention for prosecution to detention for interrogation occurred. The initial pledges of senior government officials that the horrific events of September 11 would be avenged by bringing terrorists to swift justice in the courts or military tribunals was quietly replaced with a new model. Detainees would not be brought quickly before some tribunal. Instead, they would be held at length for another purpose — interrogation. The view of the detainees as an intelligence resource to be mined contributed to the rapid escalation of the coercive techniques deemed acceptable. (Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson told the Task Force that his boss, Secretary of State Colin Powell, wondered aloud why many of the detainees couldn’t just be repatriated to places in which they could be held securely. He said that he and Powell eventually came to understand that senior officials wanted to retain custody because they did not want to risk losing an opportunity to interrogate someone who might divulge some information.

  • U.S.-China Counterterrorism Cooperation: Issues for U.S. Policy
    U.S.-China Counterterrorism Cooperation: Issues for U.S. Policy Shirley A. Kan Specialist in Asian Security Affairs July 15, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33001 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress U.S.-China Counterterrorism Cooperation: Issues for U.S. Policy Summary After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the United States faced a challenge in enlisting the full support of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in the counterterrorism fight against Al Qaeda. This effort raised short-term policy issues about how to elicit cooperation and how to address PRC concerns about the U.S.-led war (Operation Enduring Freedom). Longer-term issues have concerned whether counterterrorism has strategically transformed bilateral ties and whether China’s support was valuable and not obtained at the expense of other U.S. interests. The extent of U.S.-China counterterrorism cooperation has been limited, but the tone and context of counterterrorism helped to stabilize—even if it did not transform—the closer bilateral relationship pursued by President George Bush in late 2001. China’s military, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), has not fought in the U.S.-led counterterrorism coalition. The Bush Administration designated the PRC-targeted “East Turkistan Islamic Movement” (ETIM) as a terrorist organization in August 2002, reportedly allowed PRC interrogators access to Uighur detainees at Guantanamo in September 2002, and held a summit in Texas in October 2002. Since 2005, however, U.S. concerns about China’s extent of cooperation in counterterrorism have increased. In September 2005, Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick acknowledged that “China and the United States can do more together in the global fight against terrorism” after “a good start,” in his policy speech that called on China to be a “responsible stakeholder” in the world.
