Terrorism and the Constitution : Sacrificing Civil Liberties In The Name Of National Security

Tracing the history of government intrusions on Constitutional rights in response to threats from abroad, Cole and Dempsey warn that a society in which civil liberties are sacrificed in the name of national security is in fact less secure than one in which they are upheld. A new chapter includes a discussion of domestic spying, preventive detention, the many court challenges to post-9/11 abuses, implementation of the PATRIOT ACT, and efforts to reestablish the checks and balances left behind in the rush to strengthen governmental powers.;Dedication; Contents; Preface to the Third Edition; Foreword to the Third Edition; 1; Part I; 2; 3; 4; Part II; 5; 6; 7; Part III; 8; 9; 10; Part IV; 11; 12; 13; 14; 15; Notes; Index.
