http://www.spj.org/gc.asp: This site was one of the most useful tools i encountered. Whenever i had a problem understanding some of the legal terminology or a part of the Geneva Convention was confusing me, i would go to this site for clarity.
http://www.usafa.edu/isme/JSCOPE03/Casebeer03.html: This article proved to be a turning point for me and my opinions about the rights of terrorists involving torture. His understanding of current laws and regulations was by far superior to many of the other articles which I read and his arguments are well supported.
http://www.jamestown.org/: This site provided me with an unbiased presentation of world news relating to terrorism. This is the first place I discovered the difficulty in convicting a terrorist in an international court of law and where I learned about the many operations that go into financing terrorism.
http://news.findlaw.com/nytimes/docs/iraq/tagubarpt.html: This site provided me with much information regarding court cases, specifically the investigation of the 8ooth military police brigade. I provided me with the transcript of the court proceedings which proved difficult to understand, but in general the information provided, including facts and statistics, was very useful.
http://www.amnesty.org: This is the site of Amnesty International, the foremost group opposing torture and maltreatment of prisoners of all kinds. While I do not necessarily agree with all that they state on their web page, it was an essential source for me to understand the mindset of both sides of the argument.
