New Revised 2002 Edition with Analysis of USA Patriot Act and Governemnt Response to September 11 Attacks. This book by CDT deputy director Jim Dempsey and Georgetown law professor David Cole documents how civil liberties are sacrificed in the name of fighting terrorism. The attacks of September 11 gave added urgency to the challenge of anticipating and preventing ideologically-motivated violence without infringing on privacy, due process, freedom of speech and the right of association. Unfortunately, the history of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is one of repeated abuses of civil liberties in the name of national security, and steps taken since September 11 repeat the pattern. Authors Jim Dempsey and David Cole trace this history. Their review of the abuses occurring today - denials of due process, detentions of aliens based on secret evidence, broadened intelligence surveillance - culminates with recommendations for a counterterrorism strategy that would conform to the Constitution - one focused on individual culpability for acts of violence rather than on political or religious ideology. Written for the general audience, yet laden with endnotes of value to activists and lawyers, Terrorism and the Constitution is a balanced examination of the problem of terrorism from a civil liberties perspective."www.powells.com"
