In response to the September 11th terrorist attacks, Congress
authorized "war" against al Qaeda in the statute known as the 2001
AUMF (Authorization for the Use of Military Force). Meant to be a
temporary grant of powers to allow the President to retaliate
against the perpetrators of the attack, two administrations have
used the 2001 AUMF to justify controversial policies such as the
indefinite detention of terrorist suspects at the Guantanamo Bay
prison facility, domestic surveillance without a warrant by the
National Security Agency, and the lethal targeting of terrorist
suspects using drone strikes in countries with which the United
States is not at war. Shoon Murray explores the debate that has
emerged about whether it is time to repeal the 2001 AUMF. She
documents how the Bush and Obama administrations have used this
"war" authority and warns against the sources of
inertia--organizational interests, psychological biases, and
political incentives--that could make it permanent.
