商品簡介
This collection of articles addresses the conflict between the protection of civil liberties and the maintenance of national security in the face of terrorist threats. Aiming to make a balanced presentation of the issues, the volume contains selections ranging from the A.C.L.U.'s critique of the U.S.A. Patriot Act to a defense by its chief architect. Contributions are arranged into four main sections, covering domestic surveillance, racial profiling, the use of torture in confessions, and the designation of "enemy combatants."
