15 years since 9\/11 and stories from the days, months and years that followed continue to leach out into the world. One of the most remarkable to emerge this week was POLITICO Magazine<\/em>\u2019s oral history<\/a> of what happened around President George W. Bush in the eight hours following the attacks. The piece mucks into the minutiae of this time, from Bush being herded onto Air Force One as it becomes a flying crisis management centre and the frontline of Presidential protection (not to mention the only plane in US airspace), through to Bush flying back into Washington to see the Pentagon aflame. It\u2019s a doozy.<\/p>\n

A range of notable items marked this week\u2019s anniversary. A TIME <\/em>video looked into Richard Drew\u2019s well-known Falling Man shot<\/a>. (For more on the image, see this 2006 doco<\/a>.) New America\u2019s Peter Bergin released a big research effort on jihadist terrorism<\/a>, covering off on policy responses, foreign fighters, ISIS\u2019s modus operandi, and future global trends, among others. Dick Cheney and eldest daughter Liz penned a long piece for The Wall Street Journal<\/em> ostensibly about American leadership in a dangerous world<\/a> (alternate title: Obama\u2019s Failings in Beijing, Tehran, Pyongyang and Damascus). From The New York Review of Books<\/em> comes a reflection on tactics, trials and human rights in the War on Terror<\/a>. And as just about everything seems to have a Trump angle, here\u2019s The Daily Beast<\/em> with a run-down of The Donald\u2019s lies, ambivalence and insults related to 9\/11<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This week has brought calls for<\/a> (and against<\/a>) a presidential pardon for Edward Snowden, as well as the release of the Snowden film. So it was handy timing that the Reuters Institute at Oxford University also released a hefty new working paper on state surveillance and journalism in the post-Snowden era<\/a>. The piece dives into the data retention legislation that\u2019s in place in Australia and the UK, and asks all the right questions of spooks, journos, lawyers and police to judge whether such tools jeopardise press freedom in our liberal democracies.<\/p>\n

Fans of HBO\u2019s VEEP\u2014<\/em>surely the smartest<\/a>, funniest<\/a> writing on the box\u2014should get a kick out of this one. The show\u2019s executive producer and writing team got together to imagine Hillary Clinton\u2019s first 100 days<\/a>. The highlights are\u00a0said to have been \u2018recorded near the end of her second term, in 2024, by her official biographer, and recovered from a deleted email in 2025.\u2019 Boom.<\/p>\n

Podcasts<\/strong><\/p>\n

A strong showing from CSIS this week. First, National Security Advisor to two Australian PMs, Andrew Shearer, talks foreign fighters, CVE and counterterrorism strategy<\/a> in Australia and stateside (30 mins). And the sterling \u2018About the News\u2019 podcast hosted the NYT<\/em>\u2019s Maureen Dowd to dive into the US election race<\/a> (46 mins). Dowd\u2019s latest book, The Year of Voting Dangerously: The Derangement of American Politics<\/a><\/em>, was released this week.<\/p>\n

And one from the ASPI team: Peter Jennings recently sat down with Michelle Grattan<\/a> to talk about the PM’s upcoming trip to the US. Their chat covers off on a range of issues, including refugees,\u00a0cyber security, ISIS, China, political donations and ASEAN<\/span>\u00a0(24 mins).<\/p>\n

Videos<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a crafty illustrated opinion video for the Times<\/em>, Jay-Z reflects on the war on drugs<\/a>, 45 years after the offensive was launched by Nixon. The rapper spits out a narrative filled with facts and stats, painting a picture of an ineffectual policy that\u2019s had a disproportionate impact on blacks and Latinos. His bottom line: \u2018The war on drugs is an epic fail\u2019 (4 mins).<\/p>\n

Japan\u2019s new Defence Minister, Tomomi Inada, was in DC this week where she gave a key speech on the US\u2013Japan alliance and Japan\u2019s security environment<\/a> (66 mins), in which she announced bilateral and multilateral JMSDF activities in the South China Sea<\/a>. Inada-san walked through recent developments in the alliance, had some strong words for Pyongyang and Beijing, and singled out Australia and India as Japan\u2019s like-minded security partners, before a Q&A. The minister\u2019s remarks are available online<\/a> (PDF).<\/p>\n

Canberra: The Australia\u2013Japan Research Centre and the ANU Japan Institute will next week host their annual Japan Update event<\/a>, supported by MOFA\u2019s Japan Foundation Sydney and DFAT\u2019s Australia\u2013Japan Foundation. This year\u2019s conference will focus on three key areas\u2014the Japanese economy, \u2018Womenomics\u2019, and Japan\u2019s politics and foreign policy\u2014and has drawn a typically strong cast of speakers. Take a look at the program here<\/a> (PDF).<\/p>\n

Sydney: On Monday the US Studies Centre will host a discussion with Charles P. Ries on the national security challenges that lay in wait for the next administration<\/a>.
