According to Peter Beinart, for a year and a half Tenet and the CIA repeatedly tried to temper the Pentagon and the White House hyping of the Iraq threat (2003). Perhaps if Tenet hadn’t been so patient or friendly with the White House, his voice would have been heard and respected. Additionally, Tenet loyalty to the president and his administration caused him to lose the truth and his responsibility to have the truth heard. He became too involved in the politics of the day and helping the administration use intelligence to justify a decision already made rather than informing them with data to make an informed decision. Instead of having the courage to tell what should be told, he opted to tell the parties what they wanted to hear.
The most common motives usually involved in financial fraud are greed and financial hardship. However, without opportunity the fraud would not take place. This is why it is important to have internal policies and controls in place for deterring opportunity (Wells, 2001). It is also vital to detect fraud; once an individual has detected fraudulent activity it is easier to see where controls can be placed to deter the activity. Who commits Fraud?
In this sense, Al Qaeda has had some success in affecting political change. Additionally, it could be argued that Al Qaeda lured the USA into an unwinnable war in Afghanistan costing it much blood and treasure in over a decade of fighting. On the other hand however, al Qaeda is in many ways a diminished force and is losing influence. Its direct involvement in recent terrorist attacks appears to be minimal, it is still yet to form a pan-Islamic caliphate and Israel remains strong. Al Qaeda’s retreat from Yemen in 2011 indicates that it has lost support at the grass roots level, and in Mali the BBC has suggested the militants are in ‘disarray’ after French military intervention.
In any form, terrorism sends a message. Terrorists, governments, and the media see the function, roles and responsibilities of the media when covering terrorists’ events from differing and often competing perspectives. Such perspectives drive behavior during terrorist incidents, often resulting in both tactical and strategic gains to the terrorist operation and overall terrorist cause. The challenge to both the governmental and press communities is to understand the dynamics of terrorist enterprise and to develop policy options designed to serve the interests of government, the media, and the society. Terrorists must have publicity in some form if they are to gain attention, inspire fear and respect, and secure favorable understanding of their cause, if not their act.
It was also used as a defence mechanism in case of future attack. The race can also said to have produced numerous treaties between the superpowers, and these factors seem to suggest that the arms race had a stabilising effect and did not threaten world peace. However, it is also argued that it made the world a more dangerous place, and consequently threatened world peace. The word ‘dangerous’ is defined as an unsafe threat to the world and human population. This is demonstrated through the questionable policies such as Brinkmanship, Massive retaliation, and how the culture of paranoia and secrecy caused both sides to constantly create more nuclear weapons to feel protected against the other side.
Another company insider who is a vital source of information to investigators is Whistle Blowers. These individuals are crucial sources of information needed for the detection, and ultimately the prosecution of many white collar crimes, especially when they are of the governmental and corporate varieties. Another common perpetrator of white collar crime and also
Crime is easy to describe as any behavior that is generally unacceptable and causes injury to an individual or a group of individuals. Theft, robbery, burglary, corruption, embezzlement, physical and mental violence, rape and killing are easier to categorize as crimes. But when it comes to terrorism, it becomes hard to have a world wide acceptable definition. This difficulty to identify an act as a terrorist act has been one of the key reasons why the world is grappling with a three headed monster called in the present day, “terrorism”. Though everyone accepts that terrorism is a kind of crime, a heinous one at that, the very fact that a terrorist for one is a martyr for others has made the situation very puzzling.
There is a constant threat to the United States and its citizens in the form of terrorism. Taking the proper steps is crucial to ensure the Homeland stays protected as well as the people that rightfully live in it. There are still many terrorist organizations that have explicitly spoken and wrote about having their ultimate goal to inflict terrorism on the United States. These organizations are being constantly monitored with professionals and counterterrorism agencies. The National Counterterrorism center is one of the leading agencies in gathering intelligence and reporting on potential terrorism activity.
This for the both of them ended up being Napoleon III. Cavour and Bismarck used Napoleon III as a way to form alliances and in turn promised him land as long as he helped them to be successful. The two of them used their surroundings and what they knew from past successes in order to manipulate those like Napoleon. Each of them was highly intelagent in their own ways which they knew how to use to their advantage. They used their intelegence to establish alliances and even to make new policies.
He focuses on the leaked secret information as being a “valuable public service” for the country and it should be appreciated because the Americans get an insight in the Government’s acts. 2.
