Enemy Combatant: A British Muslim's Journey To Guantánamo And Back, by Moazzam Begg with Victoria Brittain

"But of course, the Pentagon Archipelago wasn't designed to fight terrorism; it's designed to advance terrorism - state terrorism. Its purpose is to establish the principle of arbitrary rule - in the name of "military necessity" - above the rule of law, in America and around the world. It's part of an overarching system of terror - aggressive war, assassination, indefinite detention, torture - employed to achieve the Regime's openly-stated ideological goal: "full spectrum dominance" of global politics and resources, particularly energy resources. Al Qaeda has the same goal, and uses the same methods, albeit on a smaller, "asymmetrical" scale.

"Now we are all at the mercy of these entwined terrorist factions - both led by fundamentalist sons of two financially linked elitist clans. We will see more Guantanamos, more Madrids, before this long, dark night is over."
