What is the most frequent criticism of the war on terrorism? Discuss some of the risks associated with the USA PATRIOT Act.
What will be an ideal response?
The most frequent criticism of the war on terrorism is that some of the legislation enacted and tactics allowed threaten the very rights and freedoms that the war on terrorism is trying to preserve. Some people worry that provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act and other similar legislation designed for the war on terrorism-provisions that override or set aside traditional procedural safeguards-will become a permanent part of the way criminal justice is administered in the United States. Some people are concerned that law enforcement strategies implemented to fight the war on terrorism-strategies that remove traditional constraints on law enforcement activity-will become commonplace in the ways law enforcement officers carry out their duties. There is no doubt that the collapse of the World Trade Center's twin towers changed the United States in unanticipated ways. The challenge faced by the United States in this Age of Terrorism is to defend domestic security without sacrificing the rights and freedoms of American citizens.
