Order and Liberty in a Time of Terror

Order and Liberty in a Time of Terror

By Dr. Marvin Zalman

The domestic campaign involves defensive homeland security like increased airport security and a focus on terrorism investigation and prosecution. Indeed, training local law enforcement agencies and the creation of Local-Federal Anti-terror Partnerships has become an important element of contemporary criminal justice.1 The foreign campaign included the necessary Afghanistan war and the ill-conceived war in Iraq. Now in its fourth year, the Administration has admitted that Iraq was not formerly a sponsor of Islamist terrorism. The lack of plans for controlling the country after a swift but superficial military victory, led to unrest, continuing insurgency, and fears of civil war or the rise of a radical Islamist state.2 The controversy over the Iraq war is beyond the scope of this text, except insofar as the war has generated issues relevant to criminal procedure and important Supreme Court rulings on issues of liberty and justice.
