Brief Analysis
From London to Los Angeles, an increasing number of libel lawsuits have been filed against scholars researching the financial connections behind radical Islamist terrorism. This disturbing trend threatens to have a chilling effect on the important contributions that enterprising scholars can make to the work of law enforcement and intelligence agencies on a matter of pressing public interest. To discuss this critical issue, The Washington Institute hosted a special policy form with Judith Miller and Ruth Wedgwood.
