In the aftermath of a terrorist attack political stakes are high:
legislators fear being seen as lenient or indifferent and often
grant the executive broader authorities without thorough debate.
The judiciary's role, too, is restricted: constitutional structure
and cultural norms narrow the courts' ability to check the
executive at all but the margins. The dominant 'Security or
Freedom' framework for evaluating counterterrorist law thus fails
to capture an important characteristic: increased executive power
that shifts the balance between branches of government. This book
re-calculates the cost of counterterrorist law to the United
Kingdom and the United States, arguing that the damage caused is
significantly greater than first appears. Donohue warns that the
proliferation of biological and nuclear materials, together with
willingness on the part of extremists to sacrifice themselves, may
drive each country to take increasingly drastic measures with a
resultant shift in the basic structure of both states.
