Al Quaeda manuals
In the UK, you might still be jailed for many days without charge for even having one, it seems.
The UK Court of Appeal recently quashed the conviction of Samina Malik, aka the "Lyrical Terrorist", for possession of information useful for terrorist purposes under Section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000, but the Crown Prosecution Service still views this and other widely circulated documents as prima facie evidence of wicked intent.
IMO: Some of the CIA manuals are better than the Al Quaeda ones. I imagine that means that anyone who is considering joining the CIA could also get 42 days in jail without trial in the UK.
