The 18 Traps Of CounterTerrorism: Freedom And The Fight Against Terrorism

By Reinhard Kück

Where are the terrorists are taking us? How much have our free democracies suffered in he fight on terror? Are we giving up on our cherished values like freedom, privacy, habeas corpus, freedom of speech, cultural tolerance, equality, due process and others?In this book, I will describe the intelligence communities and their work in three countries: the USA, the UK and my home country Germany. The Snowden documents as published partly by the British Guardian, the US Washington Post, the German Spiegel magazine and on occasion other papers, shed some light on the secret activities that have always been anticipated by experts on the subject. Yet, the amount of data collected, the global mass surveillance system behind it all, nobody outside the secret community could have suspected. The necessary fight against terrorism has had a considerable impact on the traditional judicial systems of modern societies and transformed them.What harm can the unleashed powers of secret snooping do to our free societies? This book tries to give some answers for those readers who want to uphold the traditions of the liberal democracy without giving in to terrorism.
