University and Local News University News Syracuse University Law's Resident National Security Expert Frequent National Security Studies speaker and case study author, Professor Bill Banks, co-director of the Syracuse University's College of Law Center for Global Law and Practice, has recently been named director of the newly established Syracuse University Institute for National Security and Counter Terrorism (INSCT). Banks' expertise and Syracuse's reputation will provide the foundation for interdisciplinary teaching and research at the Institute. "The law of counter terrorism is designed to deter, and, failing deterrence, to interdict or stop terrorist attacks before they occur", Banks recently explained. "In that vein, the most important laws are those which help us plan and prepare for terrorism, including those that anticipate the worst that will happen; laws that prescribe rules for keeping terrorist weapons our of the hands of terrorists, such as chemicals, germs and nuclear materials; and laws that provide for investigative authorities, to learn about potential terrorist activities as they are planned." National Security Studies looks forward to continuing a long-standing and very successful relationship with Professor Banks and to the opportunity for exciting new collaborations with the INSCT.

Sergeant Justin Callahan, 22, was given the Conspicuous Service Cross during a ceremony on Friday. Callahan was a combat engineer in Afghanistan with the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum. He was working to retrieve landmines in January when he stepped into a rut in the sand and triggered an explosive that destroyed the lower part of his leg. Callahan said, “I lost my leg, I have about eight inches left below my knee. The first month and a half I went through several operations, since then I’ve been on a prosthetic leg.” After several surgeries and rehabilitation, Callahan is walking and even running again. He is waiting to be discharged from the Army and then Callahan plans on taking a job in Atlanta, Georgia. Callahan is a graduate of Jamesville-DeWitt High School. |
