This book traces the transformation of intelligence from a tool for law enforcement to a means of avoiding the law--both national and international. The "War on Terror" has seen intelligence agencies emerge as major political players. "Rendition," untrammelled surveillance, torture and detention without trial are becoming normal. 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 license. State and corporate interests are increasingly fused in the new business of privatizing...

The main focus of this book is the impact of maritime fraud on contracts for sale and carriage, documentary credits and marine insurance. It covers all varieties of maritime fraud, from the most serious downwards, describing the methods employed and the risks to traders and carriers. At the serious end of the spectrum, pirates capture an entire ship, often murdering the entire crew, in order to sell the cargo (to which of course they have no title), later to use the innocent ship to pose as innocent traders. Less serious (but perhaps of greater interest to lawyers) are misdescriptions of...

'Who is The Bannajee?' I hear you ask. And that's a difficult question. Let's start with what he looks like.
First of all, he's big. The kind of big that has to stoop to get in a room. That big. He has a body covered in light-brown fur. And a head with only four hairs on it. Don't ask me why, that's all he has.
The Bannajee'd be really, really lonely if he didn't live with Fluke.
'Who's Fluke?'
Fluke's a boy. He likes to think he's cool. Like most boys, he tries to dress as though he is. And The Bannajee lives in his house.
