 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:
- The Resurgence of Religion in Politics
- American Military Power
- A Fairer Globalization
NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
C-Span to Cover Two March Events
C-Span has informed us that they will film the following:

- 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.
