They are all in place to help protect American citizens. The first goal is very important because without it how would we be able to keep terrorists from trying to strike the United States. Now that these goals are in place they will help to spot unusually activity. The second goal is also at the top of my list. If our borders are more secure that will help to keep terrorists from trying to cross illegally into the United States.
doesn’t have many things to go against it. One safe way to stop terrorism is the Visa Security Program. The Visa Security Program interdicts criminals, terrorists and others who would exploit the legal visa process to enter the United States. The program serves as the agency’s frontline in protecting the United States against terrorist and criminal organizations. While many security measures focus on screening names against lists of known terrorist or criminal suspects, the program relies on HSI special agents to identify potential terrorist or criminal suspects and stops them before they can reach the U.S. Another way to stop terrorism are scanners.
Because of the fear of privacy invasion, the different federal agency databases were held on individual agency specific computer systems and were not accessible to anyone, but the owner. Having such a compartmentalized system did not give law enforcement nor intelligence the ability to assist each other in putting together potentially complex terror plots, and often the more sophisticated the terror plot, the more potential for mass killing (White, 2006). Communication is key in all parts of life, and especially important when dealing with such dire consequences. The USA PATRIOT Act, in Title VII, granted the expansion of information sharing systems in order to better facilitate communication between all agencies involved in counterterrorism. This called for the implementation of the Regional Information Sharing System (RISS) as a central database for all law enforcement to use (USA PATRIOT Act, 2001).
This military campaign happened because the military needed more knowledge on what the operation was involving and they needed to train for this big operation. The main reason for this operation is because we as Americans did not want another 9/11 to happen so we wanted to rebel and capture Saddam Hussein who was the main brain behind all of the terrorists plots. 6. How: How did the United States justify its involvement in Iraq? How does the U.S. justify our current status with Iraq (why are we still there?)
Though in the attempts to obtain security, the people of the United States are giving up their freedoms and others are having those same freedoms taken away from them. The pursuit of stopping terrorism has taken precedence over an individuals civil rights. Surveillance has increased in attempts to catch terrorists. Under the USA Patriot Act which is the "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism," police agencies are given the authority to conduct Internet and expanded telephone surveillance, as well as loosen the restrictions placed on the C.I.A in the 1970's to engage in domestic surveillance. The Patriot act presents a broadened definition of terrorism, and provides some level of detention of suspected terrorists as
There is no proof that this story has any truth. There is something no one has considered, the danger to our own soldiers when they are captured. Here again I quote: “Worse, you'll have the other side effects of torture. It "endangers our soldiers on the battlefield by encouraging reciprocity." It does "damage to our country's image" and undermines our credibility in Iraq.” (Applebaum) It undermines the work of our soldiers that are helping make Iraq into a country ruled by its people instead of a dictator.
If we are to deal effectively with terrorists across the globe, we must develop a sense of empathy—I don't mean "sympathy," but rather "understanding"—to counter their attacks on us and the Western World. 10. One of the greatest dangers we face today is the risk that terrorists will obtain access to weapons of mass destruction as a result of the breakdown of the Non-Proliferation Regime. We in the U.S. are contributing to that
Arabs only use the primary language of Arabic. Arabs usually originate from the Middle East especially from Iraq, Syria, Iran and Saudi. Since September 11, United States has enabled many policies. The United States placed more consideration to certain ethnic groups because they could possibly be dangerous to the U.S. There have been changes under the terrorist laws on how someone can detain a suspected person.
This is done to prevent a terrorist from using a student status as a cover-up to allow admittance to this country with the intention to commit acts of terrorism. There are many different surveillance methods that the government uses to spy on terrorist suspects, including email, financial records, and store receipts. But, one of the most common methods of surveillance that the government uses is roving wiretaps. This is tapping into phone calls. “The government says roving wiretaps are needed to deal with technologically sophisticated terrorists.” (Abramson & Godoy) But, one of the negatives of wiretapping is that the government might make an excuse for using it to monitor terrorism with the real intention to spy on foreign
The National Security Agency (abbreviated NSA) is the creator and manager of the signals intelligence agency of the United States of America who’s responsibility it is to check and analyze all foreign communications. The NSA also protects the United States Government information and communication systems. The purpose of the NSA is to protect us, but is necessary to spy on everything that we do? Many feel as though it is unconstitutional, something should be done about it others feel as though it is right because it allows the Government to protect us from anything and or anyone who may harm us. Ever since the attack on 9/11 the
