 EDITOR'S NOTE
 Watch for our new website, which will go live by the end of March.
In addition, we are working on new programs and gateways to information; more
material will be posted online as they develop. Finally, don't forget to keep
abreast of our three ongoing series:
NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
C-Span to Cover Two March Events
C-Span has informed us
that they will film the following:
- March 6, Reaching for
Power: The Shi'a in the Modern Arab World, by Yitzhak Nakash
- March 20, The
Accidental Empire: Israel and the Birth of the Settlements 1967-1977, by Gershom
Gorenberg
New Gateways, New Materials
As we continue to deepen and
expand our work in our two theme areas, Ethics, War, and Peace,
and Global Social
Justice, we are creating new gateways to an array of different types of
resources, including reports, transcripts, articles, links to pertinent news
items, and interviews.
Some of these portals are already posted and
others are under construction. Check in with us frequently to view the latest.
- See our newest gateway:
Ethics in A Violent
World: What Can Institutions Do?
This year the initiative will focus on
three institutions: UN Reform and Collective Security; the establishment of the
International Criminal Court; and the U.S. judiciary's relationship to
international law and its enforcement.
- A longer-established portal, the Global Policy Innovations Program, is a growing hub of
alternative policy ideas from among a network of innovative
thinkers.
 Free Posters (18"x24")
News of our free
posters spread like wildfire. To date we have received almost 2,000 requests
from all over the world, from Kansas to Kiev!
  New Audio
Feature
Listen to the first of our audio features, which will be a
regular feature of our new website: We begin with John Allen, who
debunks some of the pernicious myths about Opus Dei, and explains its history,
goals, and practices.
RECOMMENDED: AMERICAN MILITARY
POWER ABROAD—AND SECURITY AT HOME
To read the latest transcripts
focusing on the moral and practical issues raised by America's use of its
unmatched military power, check out our ongoing series:
American Military
Power: An Ethical Inquiry
A furore erupted last week over the news that Dubai Ports World may take over
the management of key U.S. ports. Yet as port security expert Stephen
Flynn told the New York Times, "Among the many problems at American
ports, who owns the management contract ranks near the very bottom."
In 2005 and 2004 respectively, Stephen Flynn and nuclear weapons expert
Graham Allison spoke at the Council about urgent national security
issues. Yet not much has changed in the interim. Now is a good time to revisit
these talks:
 America the
Vulnerable: How Our Government Is Failing to Protect Us from Terrorism
Stephen Flynn analyzes America's failure to address the reality that
terrorism will continue as a form of warfare, and offers a prescription for
making our networks more resilient to the inevitability of terrorist attacks.
Nuclear
Terrorism: The Ultimate Preventable Catastrophe
Unless governments
change their policies, it is inevitable that someday a nuclear bomb will explode
in an American city, warns Graham Allison. He goes on to present an
attainable blueprint for eliminating the possibility of nuclear terrorist
attacks.
