Breach of Law, Breach of Security: A Muslim American Analysis of US Counterterrorism Policies . By: Alejandro J. Beutel*. (Program Assistant, Minaret of Freedom Institute, Bethesda, MD. Abstract: Since 9/11 debates on Terrorism and counterterrorism have been poorly informed. Fear and ideology rather than reason and facts have guided our policymakers'. decisions, creating a dichotomy between liberty and security. As a result, the US. government has pursued policies that tend to be illegal, unethical and/or invasive. In this paper I argue that the dichotomy between civil liberties versus national security is unsubstantiated, but that the relationship between the two concepts is highly interdependent.)
