| Abstract | "As the U.S. government continues the battle against terrorism, Congress―representatives of the people―must develop long-term policies that provide for national security and protect the civil liberties of the American people. [This book]: chronicles congressional policymaking in the war on terror, notes its successes and failures, and provides recommendations to improve the congressional role in the US's fight against terror; includes up-to-date examples of post-9/11 issues such as military tribunals and electronic surveillance; focuses on how Congress handles conflict related to the important issue of war on terror policymaking; and explores whether Congress can serve as the voice of the American people in debating the balance between national security and civil liberties."-- Provided by publisher. |
