Volume 66: Use of Force in Countering Terrorism
Abstract

This paper was developed from a speech. It considers past and present ideas about terrorism and the application of force as a countermeasure. It also introduces five areas for discussion regarding public concerns about the use of force: pre-trial detention in a free society; the banning of militant groups within the law; the boundaries of proper surveillance and intelligence work; the dangers of torture; and efforts at “surgical” use of military force when collateral damage is possible or probable.
