Karen Greenberg was quoted in a Newsweek piece about the film (T)error, a documentary that explores the terrorism conviction in the United States.
Karen Greenberg, director of Fordham Law School’s Center on National Security, likewise praised the film for throwing a spotlight on abuses in the system. Greenberg, author of the forthcoming Rogue Justice: The Making of the Security State, also says there is reason to believe the government may be changing its ways. Even as it faces a new threat from homegrown extremism whipped up by the Islamic State group, she tells Newsweek, the FBI “now seems to take more seriously the idea of early intervention” with young people seduced by ISIS’s siren songs, “rather than enticing them to bigger and bigger crimes.” The result, she says, has been plea deals and prison sentences that are “significantly lighter as well.”
