TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Terrorism's Toll on Civil Liberties JO - Journal of aggression, maltreatment and trauma A1 - Strossen, Nadine SP - 365 EP - 377 VL - 9 IS - 3-4 N2 - The toll that terrorism takes on civil liberties has become clear in the United States in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Horrendous as those attacks were, they were hardly unique in the fear that they spurred on the part of the politicians and the public, resulting in a counterattack on civil liberties in the name of preventing terrorism. The cost to civil liberties is thus imposed not directly by terrorism itself, but rather by unjustified policies that are labeled "counter-terrorist." In that sense, this chapter would more aptly be entitled, "Counter-Terrorism's Toll on Civil Liberties."
