Summary
The author discusses the conflation of the 'war on terror' and the 'war on drugs' and the ramifications of mixing the separate priorities of national security and domestic law enforcement, into a single de facto militarized world police/spy force. The latter presents detrimental consequences both to civil liberties, everyday federal criminal practice, and even the relationship between domestic crime policy and international and foreign policy.
