CNN.com - Ex-spy chief attacks FBI tactics - September 4, 2002 "The history of terrorism in the 20th century shows that a war on terrorism cannot be won unless the causes of terrorism are eradicated by making the world a place free of grievances -- something that will not happen." She questions the ability of the FBI to detect the terror attack, saying the sifting of evidence "may not have been done sufficiently thoroughly before September 11." "If it is true that the FBI had some intelligence, however vague, that a remarkable number of Islamic students were taking courses at U.S. flying schools, among other things security measures at U.S. airports should have been reviewed." edition.cnn.com /2002/WORLD/europe/09/04/m15.terrorism   (446 words)

The New Yorker: Fact The turmoil in Afghanistan has become a political issue for the Bush Administration, whose general conduct of the war on terrorism is being publicly challenged by Richard A. Clarke, the former National Security Council terrorism adviser, in a memoir, “Against All Enemies,” and in contentious hearings before the September 11th Commission. The high point of the American involvement in Afghanistan came in December of 2001, at a conference of various Afghan factions held in Bonn, when the Administration’s candidate, Hamid Karzai, was named chairman of the interim government. Since the fall of 2002, a number of active-duty and retired military and C.I.A. officials have told me about increasing reports of heroin use by American military personnel in Afghanistan, many of whom have been there for months, with few distractions. www.newyorker.com /fact/content?040412fa_fact   (5032 words)

Domestic terrorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Domestic terrorism was considered rare in the United States, by those who do not its history well. For this reason, certain types of civil disobedience can be interpreted as domestic terrorism, thus having a chilling effect on public participation and freedom of expression, a reasonable serious fear under the extreme right-wing government of George W. Bush. However, the Patriot Act does not give the meaning of domestic terrorism as designated as a crime, leaving the intepretation of the acts, statements or preparations which may constitute domestic terrorism to whomever may wish to interpret them. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Domestic_terrorism   (595 words)

Terrorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia These were the first acts of " republican terrorism", which became a recurrent feature of British history, and these Fenians were the precursor of the Irish Republican Army. Terrorism is an anxiety -inspiring method of repeated violent action, employed by (semi-) clandestine individual, group or state actors, for idiosyncratic, criminal or political reasons, whereby — in contrast to assassination — the direct targets of violence are not the main targets. Those for whom "terrorism" is a term characterising the violence of an enemy as being immoral, often claim that deliberate attacks on civilians have no right to be portrayed as more justifiable than similar attacks by non-governmental groups. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Terrorism   (595 words)

MSN Encarta - Terrorism Terrorism has occurred throughout history for a variety of reasons. Terrorism motivated by religion has frequently led to acts of violence with higher levels of fatalities than the relatively more targeted incidents of violence perpetrated by many secular (nonreligious) terrorist organizations. Terrorism is therefore designed to have psychological effects that reach far beyond its impact on the immediate victims or object of an attack. encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761564344/Terrorism.html   (595 words)

Terrorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia These were the first acts of "republican terrorism", which became a recurrent feature of British history, and these Fenians were the precursor of the Irish Republican Army. According to the definition of terrorism typically used by states, academics, counter-terrorism experts, and non-governmental organizations, "terrorists" are actors who don't belong to any recognized armed forces, or who don't adhere to their rules, and who are therefore regarded as "rogue actors". The term terrorism is largely synonymous with "political violence," and refers to a strategy of using coordinated attacks that typically fall outside the time, manner of conduct, and place commonly understood as representing the bounds of conventional warfare. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Terrorism   (4852 words)

Anarchism - Wikipedia Anarchist Direct Actions: A Challenge for Law Enforcement (pdf) is an article from a law enforcement perspective that includes a look at tactics, philosophy and a history of the Anarchist movement in the United States. Similarly, anarchistic tendencies can be traced to the philosophers of Ancient Greece, such as Zeno, the founder of the Stoic philosophy, and Aristippus, who said that the wise should not give up their liberty to the state [2]. Anarchists argue that pursuit of these ends does not justify the establishment of a state, and in fact many argue that the state is incompatible with those goals. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Anarchist_terrorism   (4852 words)

Violence against Israelis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Palestinian Terrorism has an extended history that predates the founding of the state of Israel by several decades. Many acts of violence and acts of terrorism were committed by individuals, groups and employees of the Palestinian National Authority against Israeli civilians in the last 4 years, since the failure of the Camp David talks in the summer of 2000. It is questionable how much of the current increase of Palestinian terrorism can be attributed to Israeli politics during the occupation of West Bank and Gaza to suppress the moderate voices of Palestinians who call for a peaceful solution. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Terrorism_against_Israel   (4852 words)

And They Call Us Terrorists.. (by Amir Meshkin) - Media Monitors Network Zionist terrorism in the 1930s and 1940s has been forgotten because it is obvious that the winners write the history books. Terrorism was the only policy of the Zionists, which were determined to scare all Arabs from what they believe was their land. Zionists were also known to do some very cruel things such as hanging opponents on tree trunks and electrical poles, crucifications, and blowing up the bodies of kidnapped victims by sticking dynamite inside the victim. www.mediamonitors.net /meshkin3.html   (1903 words)
