Securing Liberty by David Cole PDF Summary

Book Description: The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, have challenged the United States' commitment to some of its core values. The threat of another attack led to a vastly expanded security apparatus, a reorganization of the federal government, two wars, laws granting the federal government greater scope for surveillance, aggressive investigatory and prosecutorial practices, and executive initiatives, many adopted in secret, that appeared to contravene international law and constitutional strictures-all done in the name of keeping America safe. Has the United States struck the right balance between security and liberty? Have we remained true to our fundamental values? This book identifies six specific issues that have confronted government officials and civil society in the wake of 9/11. For each issue, it offers a short introduction, articles that reflect competing views on the matter, and a set of study questions. It is intended to facilitate debate on issues that have been with us for a decade and will continue to frame public policy for the rest of our lives. The topics covered are: Profiling The Use of Torture in Exceptional Circumstances Accountability Preventive Detention The Terrorist Surveillance Program and Inherent Executive Power Privacy and Security Book jacket.
