The Big Chill
Solomon, Alisa | June 2, 2003 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses the author's views on the alleged political repression by the U.S. government after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and its so-called chilling effect throughout the country. Since the Department of Homeland Security began its color-coded alerts in 2002, it has never designated the country to be at less than yellow, representing a significant risk of terror attack. The author believes that the government's alleged bullying, silencing and threats of violence of those who dissent its so-called war against terrorism, reveal a political and cultural shift that recalls some of the country's darkest days.
