First Principles on First Fridays: "America’s War on Terror…Or Is It?" March 5, 2010

Host: Hillsdale College. First Principles on First Fridays. Instead of seeking victory in a war against radical Islamic terrorism, the Obama administration has framed our efforts as law enforcement. Whether in Mirandizing the would-be Christmas bomber, initially seeking to try Khalid Sheikh Muhammed in a New York City civilian courtroom, or engaging in a headlong rush to close the Guantanamo Bay prison, the president�s Justice Department has politicized justice and imperiled national security. These misguided efforts, as Andrew McCarthy argues, are confusing, but even more, mark a security and constitutional crisis. Charting a different path, this talk will offer a preview of the speaker�s forthcoming book, The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America.
