- P. Williams writes in her essay, that the war on terror is a new type of a war. What’s new about it, how is it different from traditional wars?
P. Willams mentioned in her essay that the war on terror is a new type of a war which separates it from traditional wars by which she describes as “the war has been framed as one against “terror”- against unruly if deadly emotionalism- rather than add a war again specific bodies, specific land, specific resources” and therefore, a war that terrifies and causes fear, “the enemy becomes anybody who makes us afraid. Indeed what is conspicuous about American public discourse right now is how hard it is to talk about facts rather than fear.”

The “Roving Wiretaps” of the Patriot Act seems to violate the Bill of Rights which could lead to privacy violations of anyone who comes into casual contact with the suspect therefore, they want Congress to require investigators to specify just which device is going to be tapped, or that the suspect be clearly identified, in order to protect the innocent from unwarranted snooping.
