Revisions and Improvements
From the Paper
"The NSCT lays out its efforts in a comprehensive manner to facilitate a clear understanding of the strategies that will be implemented to combat terror, and terrorism. The main objective, of course, is to defeat violent extremism, which poses a definite threat to our way of life as a free and open society; and create a global environment inhospitable to violent extremists and their supporters (NSCT 2006).
"The NSCT clearly indicates that its strategies are taking into consideration the fact that terrorists and terrorist organizations have adjusted their strategies in response to United States actions, therefore the NSCT is continually being refined."

Abstract
This research paper examines the prevention of terrorism. Using logos, the author attempts to persuade the audience to support his final opinion by displaying factual information gained through past research. Ethos is used to help support his opinion through the use of credible references so the information may not be questioned on its? accuracy. Lastly, using pathos, an emotional appeal is utilized to help express his thesis.
From the Paper
" Terrorism is a topic that has become an important subject to many people. It is not centralized to a specific location, group of people, it does not discriminate; rather it is a destructive form of discrimination. Terrorism has been used as a tool for persuasion, popularity, and revenge. To ensure the protection, safety, and freedoms of American citizens, the prevention of terrorism will have some effects on personal liberties, culture, and the role of America on a global scale."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the attacks on September 11th took the American population by surprise and how they thought they were immune from domestic terror. It demonstrates many of the primary causes of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the resulting effects of such a broad-spectrum attack on the American people. It shows that the perceived false sense of safety and security exhibited by the American people resulted in a complacent attitude within the American government, which affected the effectiveness of the law enforcement agency to prevent the 9/11 attacks. It examines how law enforcement officials overlooked warning signs that may have prevented the attack on the World Trade Center.
From the Paper
"What were the causes of the 9/11 tragedies? The effects of the attacks are obvious; the American people find themselves? plunged into a war against a foe unseen. The U.S. government finds itself engaged in conflict unknown. No forewarning existed from our enemy, no warning from our multi-billion dollar defense systems, no prior intent of aggression. How are the American people to know of future impending attacks? What will prevent further terrorist activity and violence from our unforeseen enemy? One can only draw the conclusion that government complacency resulted in overlooking and dismissal of critical intelligence reports and information that might have prevented the World Trade Center attacks, and information that may prevent future attacks."

Abstract
This paper discusses the federal law proposed by Senator Bruce Wayne for the purpose of combating domestic terrorism. It explains how the law proposed that 1) visiting federal buildings be subject to a search of their person and belongings; 2) police detain any individual arousing suspicion of potential terrorist activity in or near a federal building; and 3) sentences be doubled and made mandatory for individuals convicted of terrorist-related activity. The paper examines the social ramifications of the threat of domestic terrorism in the United States.
From the Paper
"In the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing, both press and public hastily assumed that the crime had Mideast origins. "John Doe," however, turned out to hail from the heart of Middle America. One of the lessons learned, as the terrorist's true identity slowly revealed itself, was not to jump to conclusions in assessing terrorism. This is a lesson that should yield even greater pause, as lawmakers eagerly rush to find a solution to the problem of domestic terrorism."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses a plan designed to meet the needs of operatives charged with the difficult task of countering the terrorist threats posed by Al Qaeda. As is well known, since the devastatingly deadly attack on the people of the USA, which has come to be known as 9/11, counter terrorism has become of paramount importance. The writer notes that an important step in countering terrorism is to attempt to understand the motivations of terrorists. The writer points out that by studying the Al Qaeda manual that is available on the Internet, one can enhance one's understanding, so that terrorists may be better understood and can be fought more effectively.
Outline:
Introduction
The Nature of Terrorism in the Modern World
Combating Terrorism in the Modern, Globalized World
What we can Learn from the Al Qaeda Manual
From the Paper
"Thus, we can reasonably expect that the USA will continue to be attacked by terrorists for the foreseeable future. The challenge then is to find the best way to counter it. To do this, we must bear in mind what experts such as Wilen have pointed out: that we cannot beat terrorism by operating only in a reactive mode, as has largely been the case up till now. Rather, we need to operate in a preventative manner. For example, we need to integrate information in order to know about terrorism attacks before they happen, and then take steps to prevent them. This will be a much lesser drain on our resources than cleaning up the mess afterwards. Consider, for example, how much better it would be to prevent a nuclear attack on New York, than to attempt to repair the damage afterwards, especially given the fact that land affected by nuclear fallout cannot be inhabited for 70 years."

Abstract
This paper describes the revelations that arose from the September 11, 2001 Al Qaeda terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Pennsylvania in the United States. The paper looks at what lessons have been learned from those attacks regarding the safety of the United States and what must be done to prevent and protect America from future terrorist threats.
From the Paper
"Although it is easy to make recommendations of this sort in hindsight, it is obvious by now that the President and his staff should have paid closer attention to the warnings from the CIA regarding Osama Bin Laden's plans to hijack planes and perform terrorist acts. It is important to understand that the CIA likely receives more threats and tips regarding terrorism than is possible to act upon in every instance, but the fact that the information about Osama Bin Laden was considered important enough to pass along to the President indicates that perhaps the information was corroborated by several sources or there was an abundant amount of evidence supporting the claims, or both. At any rate, the CIA is likely not passing along information to the President without having a certain degree of confidence that the information is correct."

Terrorism as a Military Strategy, 2005.
An analysis of the extent terrorism can be considered an effective military strategy.

Abstract
This paper examines how the success of a terrorist act depends on the nature of the terrorist activity and the aims of the organisation. It looks at how there have been a number of successes in terms of securing specific demands in the past such as 1970 'skyjacking' operation by the PFLP. In contrast, it also discusses how terrorism can be divisive and how it can engender the very opposite of what it sets out to do such as the 2005 London bombings. It looks at how a post 9/11 society is one that treats the threat of terrorism as a consequence of modern city living and how this is perhaps the ultimate irony of terrorism and the main reason why it could never be considered a reasonable military strategy. The more terrorist activity there is, the less political value it has. It concludes that terrorism is perhaps the only strategy that many disenfranchised groups have which may account for its constant presence on the global political stage.
From the Paper
"Terrorism shocks not merely through the use of physical violence but through the symbolic transgression of social morality and national security. Terrorism, as many commentators have suggested (Townshend, 2000; Laqueur, 1999; Chomsky, 2001 etc) goes right to heart of what makes us safe; it forces us to pay attention to it whether we want to nor not. The recent proliferation of video taped messages from leaders of suspected terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda is a testament to the symbol over the actual act of physical violent; there is nothing violent in the images of Osama bin Laden addressing the world through the Aljazeera television networks but it has tremendous symbolic presence - in a world that is dominated by media and communication technology, as Van der Veer and Munshi (2004) suggest, one of the major successes of modern terrorist organisations is their ability to use the resources of their enemies: the Internet, satellite television, mobile phones and the mass media."

Abstract
This paper explains that, despite past activities, a new United Nations-led global anti-terror regime is desperately needed to play a pivotal role in forging a new identity for the U.N. and to serve as a stronghold of global collective anti-terrorism. The author points out that some of the problems are related to the United Nations? bureaucracy, its dependency on donations from member countries, and the political nature of the U.N. The paper concludes that the United Nations is an important pillar of the modern world, whose continued existence has become far more critical than ever before; therefore, the role of United Nations is going to be more challenging and critical in enforcing the international justice systems, especially in the area of terrorism.
From the Paper
"The Security Council has created a Counter-Terrorism Committee, which is charged with monitoring the implementation of the international justice. In this respect, United Nations expressed deep concern with terrorism, arguing that terrorists represented a serious threat to international peace and to individual. The resolution also called the Counter-Terrorism Committee to promote sophisticated approaches to addressing their efforts to eliminate the affliction of international terrorism."

Terrorism and Counter Terrorism, 2004.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the way counter terrorism and terrorism have changed since 9/11 and the growing role of the U.S. It also looks at the development of 'modern' terrorism and the possible consequences of the continuing War on Terror. It debates whetherr or not September 11th, 2001 can be seen as a day that changed the face of terrorism. It also discusses how since the invasion of Afghanistan, terrorist attacks have become more numerous and high profile although their basic purpose remains the same, to gain attention. It puts forward the view that what has changed about terrorism since 9/11 is the amount of media attention it now controls.
From the Paper
"As well as presenting a recent point of reference for terrorist activity, the conflicts in Palestine and Northern Ireland also show two different ways of dealing with the problem, certain aspects of which have been adopted by the United States. In the case of Britain and Northern Ireland, the conflict is one of territory and security for those who want British rule. In Palestine and Israel however, the situation is based purely on territory. This difference in the foundation for the terrorist action seems to have dictated the way in which terrorism has been dealt with. Because of the presence of British citizens in Northern Ireland, and the small section of society that is involved in the unrest , it has been British policy in recent years to try and settle the situation through political sanctions and increased security measures to prevent terrorism."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the September 11th attacks on United States soil affected all levels of law enforcement including the private security sector. The paper asserts that, since 2001, many changes have been made but there is plenty of room for improvement, especially in the private sector of security. The writer notes that as all levels of law enforcement continue to receive training on how to combat terrorism, the security industry continues to lag behind on both the training side and the wage level side. The writer maintains that the security industry is often over-looked when it comes to the discussion of combating terrorism. The writer concludes that if a security officer were to receive the proper training similar to what some police officers receive, it could increase the effectiveness in combating terrorism.

Abstract
Introduction
Private Security on the Front Lines
Administrative Change in Private Security
Cost of Policy Implementation
Support Needed for Policy Recommendation
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Unfortunately such recommendations would not come without a cost increase. Contract security officers usually receive a percentage of what the client pays the company for security services. So for example, if a client pays a security service $23 an hour per head (if the site had multiple officers working at once), a security officer most likely is to make around $9 - $10 an hour. The other issue that often arises in terms of training for contract security is what is known as billable and un-billable. There are only certain services that a client is willing to pay for which is known as billable. Anything additional is known as un-billable and comes directly out of the pocket of the security company. In terms of training, most security companies are reluctant at the expense because it erodes the bottom-line."

Counter Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, 2008.

Abstract
The paper discusses the issue of terrorism as being the most stringent aspect of international politics, since the events of 2001 proved that terrorism is by no means a conventional threat and a conventional war cannot be waged against it. The paper states that it is important that a comprehensive approach on the matter be taken into consideration. The paper further discusses that the United States has been promoting a complex counter terrorism policy which includes the combination of various aspects of foreign policy. The paper focuses on the fact that pursuing a military unconventional warfare strategy in a diplomatic environment will only work, if there is synergy within the United States Government.
From the Paper
"One of the first aspects to be taken into account is the issue of the global nature of the terrorist threat. In this sense, the United States has been widely considered a worldwide approach on the matter. This method of dealing with terrorism is obvious in the 2006 National Strategy for Combating Terrorism. More precisely, the document drew the guidelines for the activities of the US Government in its attempt to address the issue of terrorism. In this sense, among other aspects, the policy considers that action must be taken in order to "advance effective democracies as the long-term antidote to the ideology of terrorism; prevent attacks by terrorist networks; deny terrorists the support and sanctuary of rogue states; deny terrorists control of any nation they would use as a base and launching pad for terror; and lay the foundations and build the institutions and structures we need to carry the fight forward against terror and help ensure our ultimate success" . All these measures are taken in relation to two distinctive paths of action which in order to be effective, must be interlinked and combined. These two directions are the military and the diplomatic one."
