Abstract
On September 11, 2001, the United States was attacked by a foreign terrorist Muslim group called Al-Queda directed by Osama bin Laden, Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, as well as, others. President George W. Bush appeared on television screens at the Oval office to address the american public after the disaster. Sitting at his desk, he gave a solemn speech about 3 hours after the first attack to address the "evil, despicable acts of terror" and assure the american people's of the strength of our will, army, and government. He promised that he had "directed the full resources for our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and bring them to justice" (Bush). Nine days later President Bush declared a War on Terror and just 34 days after that signed into law the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (usa patriot) act of 2001 to assist in that war. The usa patriot act imposes laws that violate our rights to privacy, knowledge of government actions, and freedom of speech, the right to be arrested and informed of the evidence for the charges and what those charges are, and the right to a lawyer. It gives the CIA and FBI rights to share information and roles that invite a great abuse of power.
