This article focuses on the politics of anti-terrorism. Law-enforcement effectiveness is surely not the full reward for the U.S. President and the legislators who are pushing their own anti-terrorism agendas. They all know that federal law already establishes the bases for investigating, convicting and imprisoning terrorists and their accessories, and federal law-enforcement agencies have never been better prepared to follow through on their authority. But pretending otherwise gives the polls easy access to symbolic leadership, which the general public cannot usually distinguish from the real thing.
