...FBI and CIA Protectors of the Righteous The FBI is our countries main domestic fighting force taking care of things in country against terrorist attacks and foreign intelligence while helping the police force with major crimes and works with all serial murders, child trafficking, kidding napping and major in-country crimes. The CIA is an international intelligence there job is collecting all information that may be a threat and then deciding to take action upon it or not CIA also does not directly interact in other investigations, and does not have any jurisdiction over issues in the United States. The CIA and FBI are both very specialized government offices that have an extensive history, strict requirements and specialized training. In 1908 the FBI was created by Attorney General Charles Bonaparte, while Theodore Roosevelt was in office. The FBI was originally named the Bureau of Investigation at the time of its creation. Then in 1932 the agency was renamed into the United States Bureau of Investigation, then yet again in 1933 was named Division of Investigation (DOI) and finally in 1935 it was given the name the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). In 1935 J. Edgar Hoover became the first FBI Director and served for 48...

...to that, he provided a platform to be used by courts as a metric in determining whether the government action is exercising the privacy clause contained in the fourth amendment. A recent controversy that touches the expanded use of technology devices by the government indicates the hardship faced by the modern courts when considering issues of surveillance by electronics. President George W. Bush in 2005 announced that his government has launched a massive communication interception program and electronic surveillance. The president added that the terrorist surveillance program (TSP) was compliant and in accordance with the United States’ constitution and law. Journalists and lawyers greatly disagreed with the government. Further, the ACLU vs. NSA insisted that there was an illegal interception of their communication systems through the use of the terrorists’ surveillance...

...1. The Brown vs. Board of Education trial is one of the most important trials in the 1950s and even in America's history. It is a significant decision made by the U.S. Supreme Court which outlawed racial segregation of public education facilities (schools run by the government). In the 1950s it was common for segregation in public schools even though they were supposed to be equal. In one instance Linda Brown, a third-grader in Topeka, Kansas, had to travel a mile to get to her black elementary school, even though there was a white school only seven blocks away. Linda's father, Oliver, once tried to enlist Linda into the white school but the principal refused. Oliver then contacted William Everett Glenn, Sr., a Topeka attorney and Mckinley Burnett, the head of the Topeka NAACP branch, about his concerns regarding "separate but equal policies" of Topeka schools. The separate but equal doctrine came about in the case of Plessy v. Ferguson which stated that having blacks and whites in separate equal facilities did not violate the Equal Protection Clause. On May 17, 1954 the United States Supreme Court decided unanimously that The Board of Education acted unconstitutionally and that they violated the 14th Amendment by separated children if for no other reason than for their race. Webber, Andrew "Brown v. Board of Education about the case" [online] available http://brownvboard.org/summary/ The unanimous court decision announced by Chief Justice Earl Warren was the turning point...

...Is there anything on this site that surprised you in the EEOC website? US equal employment opportunity commission is the federal run government commission which entitled look for any illegal discriminate against the job applicant or employee with relations to sex, color, race and age. The people who break these laws will be prosecuted in the federal court and may be fined or jail terms depending upon the law and type of discrimination. The main thing I got surprised while referring to EEOC website is the way these federal commission working to avoid the human trafficking in the United States. This commission works directly with the major investigations groups like FBI and CIA to avoid any human trafficking. In recent news referred from the site has arrested the group of people who were involved in the human trafficking in which almost 200 humans are treated as slaves and worked under these groups. I really appreciate the person who were able to arrest these groups and helps the poor and innocent people by giving the freedom or transporting to the home nations.

...A Walk Through Time The significant moments in time collectively make up our nations history. In that history we see change, growth and experience loss. These events make us the people, that make up the country that love and contribute to. I chose five events in time that brought about a tremendous change across the world, and making life as we know it today, a walk in the park. MONTGOMERY BUS BOYCOTT Montgomery Alabama, 1955 and 1956 was an extremely volatile time for African-Americans and Whites, but the events of that year made history and changed the way of life for every Montgomery resident. The Montgomery Bus Boycott was a peaceful protest that lasted one year. Its main goal was to put an end to racially segregated seating on buses, but by the end it accomplished much more (Toonari). A Walk on the wild side Prior to the Supreme Court 1956 decision, African-Americans were forced to ride at the back of the bus. They suffered ridicule and racial slures at the hands of the bus drivers and the White passengers. In the early 1950’s two teenagers, Claudette Colvin and Mary Louise Smith were both arrested for refusing to give their seats to white passengers (Allen, R. 2000). Although this created some tension within the African-American community it tool the arrest of Rosa Parks, a former NAACP secretary who refused to give up her seat on the bus, on December 1, 1955 to set the wheels in motion for what would...

...crashed Flight 93 into a field in Somerset County, Pennsylvania; its true destination is still unknown (“September 11 Fast…”). Nevertheless, experts such as Tyler Drumhiller, the head of CIA operations in Europe during the attacks theorize that the target was the White House or the Capitol building because the plane was en route to Washington D.C. before the plane crashed in the field (“9/11 Mystery: What?”). Because the 9/11 attacks had such a terrible impact upon the nation, legislators wanted to ensure that an attack of this magnitude would never happen again; legislators and law enforcement began examining what went wrong and how to fix it. “Assessments of the attacks of September 11, 2001,” show “...that U.S intelligence and law enforcement agencies had failed to share information that might have provided advance warning of the plot” (Best). Information sharing before September 11, was such an issue that Richard Ben-Veniste, the ex - Democratic chief counsel on the Senate Whitewater Committee asserts while doing an interview for PBS that: the acting director of the FBI had received information… about the Phoenix Memorandum, which talked about young Arabs learning to fly planes in the United States. He learned about two individuals, al-Hazmi and Midhar, individuals who the FBI had been looking for who ultimately took part in the 9/11 catastrophe. And he learned about the arrest of Moussaoui, who was trying to learn to fly a commercial jetliner in Minnesota. He...

...ineligible to get the Purple Heart, which is given to service members who are wounded in battle. Here the opinions diverge: some say that the case was the matter of lack of a punitive article in the U.S. law for the “terrorism”; others contend that this step would have added lots of complexity without any or little benefit; still others believe that the government refused to call the attack a terrorist act because it did not want to award the benefits. Since that time, the debate whether the shooting at Fort Hood was a case of terrorism or an act of workplace violence has been present in academia and the media. The next section will provide arguments as to why the case should be considered a terrorist act. Fort Hood Case Analysis: Terrorism vs Criminal Act Fort Hood case should be classified as the act of terrorism because it shares the characteristics of the latter. Terrorism, generally speaking, is an act of violence (or threatened act of violence) for political purposes aimed against innocent people (Laquer, 1999 in White, 2013). The definition provided by the NATO, an organization which is the most established global and regional security provider, says that terrorism is an unlawful or threatened use of violence or force that is directed against people or property in an attempt to either coerce or intimidate societies and governments in order to achieve ideological, religious, or political aims (Alexander, 2013). As for workplace violence, it refers to any act of abuse...

...stability they sought other ways to get rid of their problem, which is the creation of WMD’s. Soon after the CIA discovered that Saddam was seeking a partnership with Al-Qaeda and the creation of more Weapons of Mass Destruction, action had to be taken but there wasn’t any until the day the United States stood still. A day that will never be forgotten by America was September 11, 2001. The day that terrorist struck the Twin Towers in Manhattan (World Trade Center), the Pentagon in Washington D.C., and a fourth plane that was set to San Francisco, California that crashed in Pennsylvania. In George W. Bush’s Excerpt, he reminds the American people of, “that terrible morning, nineteen evil men... [attacked on U.S. soil and] the beginning of the end of America” (Ehrenberg 176). The attitudes and policies of the American government had changed drastically. Through this strategic impact of 9/11, Hussein demonstrated that he can use his WMD at any given moment and location, internally and externally; Iraq funded Palestine suicide bombers and used chemical weapons against Israel (Ballard 103). The immediate response at hope was drastic overnight. In the 9/11 Commission Report: Chapter 10 shows the reader what immediate affects were taken place after the attacks. “Beginning on September 11, immigrants and Naturalization Service’s agents working in cooperation with the FBI began arresting individuals for immigrant violations while following up the leads in the 9/1 attack” (9/11 Commission...

Generally, those journalists do a competent job of reporting on the prospect’s record. In the case of Governor George W. Bush, Texas reporters had written numerous stories about his failed businesses in the oil patch, the dubious land grab and questionable funding behind a new stadium for Bush’s baseball team, the Texas Rangers, and his various political contradictions and hypocrisies while serving in Austin. I was one of those Texas journalists. I spent about a decade...

...Extraterrestrial Hypothesis The extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH) is the hypothesis that some unidentified flying objects (UFOs) are best explained as being physical spacecraft occupied by extraterrestrial life or non-human aliens from other planets visiting Earth. Etymology Origins of the term extraterrestrial hypothesis are unknown, but use in printed material on UFOs seems to date to at least the latter half of the 1960s. French Ufologist Jacques Vallee used it in his 1966 book Challenge to science: the UFO enigma. It was used in a publication by French engineer Aimé Michel in 1967,[1] by Dr. James E. McDonald in a symposium in March 1968[2] and again by McDonald and James Harder while testifying before the Congressional Committee on Science and Astronautics, in July 1968.[3] Skeptic Philip J. Klass used it in his 1968 book UFOs--Identified. In 1969 physicist Edward Condon defined the "Extra-terrestrial Hypothesis" or "ETH" as the "idea that some UFOs may be spacecraft sent to Earth from another civilization or space other than earth, or on a planet associated with a more distant star," while presenting the findings of the much debated Condon Report. Some UFO historians credit Condon with popularizing the term and its abbreviation "ETH". Chronology Although ETH, as a unified and named hypothesis, is a comparatively new concept - one which owes a lot to the saucer sightings of the 1940s–1960s, it can trace its origins back to a number of earlier events such as the now...

...Tom Ridge. Mr. Ridge was a Vietnam Veteran, but little was known of his Domestic and Foreign Policy positions or experience. Many were concerned he lacked the authority to pull together 22 agencies under 1 flag. Additionally Mr. Ridge failed to gain approval of an early policy to consolidate the immigration & naturalization service, the Coast Guard, and other agencies responsible for people goods and services crossing U.S. borders. Some believe this affected his leadership during a critical development period. From the years 2001 to 2004 Homeland Security, in my opinion, was not stable enough to do the work that was required from a Federal agency. In his book “The 1% Doctrine”, Donald Skuskind discusses how the different federal agencies (CIA, FBI, DOD, DHS, etc) did not work well together. This subsequently degraded the mission of protecting the homeland immediately following the 9/11 attacks. Moving towards Iraq, Suskind writes in his book how VP Cheney issued guidance that if there was a 1% chance that a state or non-state actor threatened the United States, we would treat it like an absolute certainty. It could be argued that the 1% doctrine was largely responsible for paving the road to war in Iraq, thus creating the re-birth of Al Qaeda by giving it a new life line to attack. This was not difficult to do when you invade a country of 27 million people with a force of 165 thousand. Especially when that fighting force does not understand the environment (ethno-religious fault...

...Since the invention of radio, intelligence-gathering organizations have been developing and using eavesdropping techniques to intercept and review wireless communications. Initially, these capabilities were solely used to spy on hostile nations, and particularly for military purposes. Human operators had to manually review each transmission, and cryptanalysts pored over military ciphers in an attempt to decode important messages. As wireless communication has become an integral part of commercial and individual existence, and potential threats to security are increasingly found in peacetime and on home ground, the scope of this intelligence gathering has likewise broadened. One of the most controversial eavesdropping systems in existence is a classified project known as ‘Echelon.’ Its use of computer hardware and software to filter communications from all over the world brings up many ethical issues related to the impact of computers on privacy. Overview of Echelon Most of the evidence for Echelon is circumstantial, though a few facts have been established. The participating organizations (notably the US Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency) have neither confirmed nor denied its existence. In lieu of a discussion of the ethical issues, a brief summary of the current knowledge follows. How it Works Echelon is the product of Cold War efforts to monitor wireless communications in the USSR. It traces its roots back to the clandestine UKUSA...
