You, too, can learn to fight terror without getting out of bed or missing an episode of Desperate Housewives.

Western governments lag behind in Internet cyber-warfare with Al-Qaeda. If they do not catch up, they will not gain the upper hand in the war on terror.

A brief memoir of the trials and tribulations of an amateur counterterrorism expert.

I created my first terrorist cover identity on the Internet on March 13, 2002.

Plunging in, I started making headway into the world of counterterrorism.

On May 12, 2003, four days after I had tipped off the FBI, Al-Qaeda carried out its attacks.

On September 3, 2004, a nine-member officer's panel at Fort Lewis, Washington, found Specialist Ryan G. Anderson guilty of five counts of seeking to aid the enemy during a time of war and attempted espionage. The court martial subsequently sentenced him to five concurrent life terms for his crimes. To date, the sentence represents the most severe penalty meted out to a U.S. citizen in President George W. Bush's global war on terror. The case also marked the triumph of the new field of cyber counterterrorism, which I helped develop. Working from my home computer, I enabled Anderson's capture. There have since been more than 200 other cases although many of these were intelligence cases that, for various reasons, did not result in criminal prosecution.

I haven't read this, but need to remember to do so.
