Controversy over the War on Terror
After the attacks on September 11, 2001, the military and domestic policies associated with the War on Terror have been a source of political controversy as policy makers and the public contend with the imperatives of national security and the rule of law. Political cartoonist Tony Auth illustrated the conflict between these objectives in his characterization of former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft's November 2001 announcement of a large-scale anti-terror arrest and detention campaign by the Department of Justice. |
