James Patterson, who seems to let Andrew Gross handle the writing duties these days, issued another generic thriller, “Judge & Jury.” Patterson, following in Tom Clancy’s footsteps, threatens to become the Franklin W. Dixon or Gertrude Chandler Warner of this generation. A spate of chick-lit also hit the market and fizzled, lacking creativity or, at the bare minimum, controversy...

He points, for example, to Mohammad al-Qahtani, the so-called 20th hijacker, who was repeatedly abused during his interrogation at Guantanamo, and who has since implicated some 30 other fellow prisoners who are still being held without trial...
