Spies, Lies and the War on Terror

20.35

The advent of the War on Terror has seen intelligence agencies emerge out of the shadows to become major political players. ‘Rendition’, untrammelled surveillance, torture and detention without trial are now fast becoming the norm. `Spies, Lies and the War on Terror’ traces the transformation of intelligence from a tool for law enforcement to a means of avoiding the law – both national and international. The new culture of victimhood in the US and among partners in the ‘coalition of the willing’ has crushed domestic liberties and formed a global network of extra-legal licence. State and corporate interests are increasingly fused in the new business of privatising fear. Todd & Bloch argue that the bureaucracy and narrow political goals surrounding intelligence actually have the potential to increase the terrorist threat.
