War About Terror: Civil Liberties and National Security After 9/11
The Council on Foreign Relations has published an interesting new report on national security and civil liberties. The report “addresses the issue of how to maintain America’s longstanding democratic traditions while protecting it from real and serious threats. Based on an assessment of executive authority, legislative activity and oversight, and judicial review, the paper argues that counterterrorism policies will be sustainable over the long term only if policymakers design them with the coequal objectives of improving national security and protecting civil liberties.”
