Oral History and Hurricane Katrina
In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, many oral historians throughout the nation began to consider the role their methodology could serve in documenting the storm and its aftermath. Interviewing so soon after such a traumatic event creates new considerations for oral history as an approach to recording experience. The problems and possibilities of oral history as such a moment initiated a vibrant discussion on H-Oralhist…

Meeting the Terrorist Threat
It has long been recognized that intelligence is at the heart of countering terrorism. For, once terrorist initiate an attack authorities find themselves in a primarily defensive and reactive mode. Moreover given the reality of the threat of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), attacks as in the case of 9/11 could again lead to a profound loss of live and the disruption of the civil order. It is therefore vital that intelligence capabilities are re…
US anti-terrorism policies
The evolution of United States anti‐terrorism policies has been marked by inconsistency and the lack of a unity of action. The declaratory no ransom policy enunciated by President Nixon has been constantly violated. In addition, the absence of a consensus on the nature of terrorism has been exacerbated by bureaucratic turf battles. This debate has created negative administrative and operational impacts on the organizations that are responsible fo…
Technology and terrorism
The possibility that a particularly pernicious form of state organized terrorism, namely the privatization of public violence, may arise is examined. The nature of terrorism is defined, and a case is made for the proposition that contemporary terrorism is functionally different from its antecedents, as a result of a joint revolution in transportation and communication. An increasing blurring of the line between state organized terrorism and the o…
