relations began to plunge out of control after the Missile Crisis and the Bay of Pigs, the United States then began to explore attempts to take action against Fidel Castro. “Any intelligence-gathering agency places concerns for its interpretation of “national security interests” above all public disclosure. This shortcoming is also apparent in the amount of redacted material in addition, there are few attempts to contextualize the missile crisis in terms of global, regional, or U.S.-Cuban relations” (Fernandez 614). President John F. Kennedy and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, with the help of the CIA intended to have Castro killed. Following previous attempts by the Mafia to assassinate Fidel Castro, Rufus announces that he has just been asked to take charge of Operation Mongoose, a secret operation that was created in November 1961.
Sue Davies Pol 201 Oct 1, 2012 Habeas Corpus The meaning of Habeas Corpus in the Constitution is simply this: Habeas corpus, a Latin term Meaning "you have the body," refers to the right of every prisoner to challenge the terms of his or her incarceration in court before a judge.1.. This term has taken on a whole new urgency since the post 9/11 taking of potential prisoners to Guantamano Bay . It is called Gitmo and has sparked many debates about the rights of prisoners of war. I would like to show that the holding of the prisoners at Gitmo is a legal and viable idea.

It continues to explain that the U.S. accused a Saudi exile terrorist leader named Osama bin Laden; President Bill Clinton ordered cruise missiles to destroy known training camps and plants that produced chemical weapons by Osama with the hopes of killing him and/or derail operations of Al-Qaeda. One may say it shouldn’t take this incident to increase tactics regarding terrorism; it should have been tackled from the first incident of 1993. More should have been done between the President, CIA, FBI and other appropriate anti-terrorism officials regarding this group and/or its leader.
Parallels of Terrorism Jesse Gomez HIS/110 September 24, 2013 Bob Degarimore Parallels of Terrorism Terrorism is something that we Americans are too familiar with that has been going on for many decades. Terrorism is something that Barack Obama and Thomas Jefferson had to deal with while being the President of the United States. I will be discussing some of the obstacles these two presidents had to overcome. In the early days as Thomas Jefferson was entering office he created the United States Navy and Marines and declares war against the Muslim terrorist that attacked the American vessels who were holding property hostages until ransom was paid. During his time President Jefferson put together the best military weapons
Prison Industrial Complex Today in the United States we are seeing a change in state of incarceration, according to prisonpolicy.org, since 2010 be have seen the prisoners released exceed prison admissions. This in fact is a major transformation because since 1977 releases have not exceeded admissions. One can view this in a positive aspect by thinking that the United States has finally started shifting their policies away from this asinine system of incarceration but in fact this may only be ploy to systematize a greater portion of our population. Even though release rates have grown, the United States still imprisons the highest percentage of its population. So in actuality, today, we are institutionalizing the greatest number of citizens in our history.
