Note: The texts below originally sit between two subsections Chapter 10 in Revolution and Witchcraft—following “Using Deep Theories: Example of a Volleyball Match Incident” (p. 232) and before “Assessing the Great Leap Forward at a Time of Terrible Aftermath” (p.233). This portion was eliminated from the final manuscript due to length and flow.  This portion presents a case that reveals the stepwise deductive logical operation inside the revolutionary idea system.   

Note: The texts below originally followed the end of Chapter 15 in Revolution and Witchcraft—after the section “Integrative Arguments Delivered to the American Public” (p. 331). This portion was eliminated from the final manuscript due to length and flow.  This portion presents how the idea system is tested in the international institution during a pivotal moment—how the codes of related to “peace,” “humanitarian,” and “international community” were deployed to encode information during that pivotal moment.

Note: This article covers the Iraq Survey Group weapons search in greater details.  In particular, it breaks down the Duelfer Report summary texts; the figures may be useful for readers.

Note: The third case of the book is brief, partly because some findings were previously published in my trio articles ("Discourse in Religious Mode" (2006) in Pragmatics, "Why We Must Attack Iraq" (2008) in Discourse & Society, and "Evidencing International Threat (2013) in Journal of Language and Politics. This dissertation represents my early effort wrestling with the War on Terror case.  Although the theoretical framework was not yet developed, it represents a much more comprehensive coverage of the third case--and a much easier read for general readers.
