During its "global war on terrorism," the Bush administration argued that the United States was in a new kind of conflict, one in which peacetime domestic law was irrelevant and international law inapplicable. From 2001 to 2009, the United States thus waged war on terrorism in a "no-law zone."Gabriella Blum and Philip Heymann reject the argument that traditional American values embodied in domestic and international law can be ignored in any sustainable effort to keep the United States safe from terrorism. In Laws, Outlaws, and Terrorists, they demonstrate that the costs are great and the benefits slight from separating security and the rule of law.Blum and Heymann argue that the harsh measures employed by the Bush administration were authorized too broadly, resulted in too much harm, and often proved to be counterproductive for security. Blum and Heymann recognize that a severe terrorist attack might justify changing the balance between law and security, but they call for reasoned judgment instead of a wholesale abandonment of American values. They also argue that being open to negotiations and seeking to win the moral support of the communities from which the terrorists emerge are noncoercive strategies that must be included in any future efforts to reduce terrorism."--Pub. desc.Belfer Center studies in international security.War on Terrorism, 2001-2009TerrorismUnited StatesPreventionTerrorismGovernment policyUnited StatesSOCIAL SCIENCES/Political Science/GeneralWar on Terrorism, 2001-2009.TerrorismPrevention.TerrorismGovernment policy363.325/15610973Blum Gabriella1513512Heymann Philip B562961OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910791648303321Laws, outlaws, and terrorists3748056UNINA
