A lot of people opine that instead of the Global War on Terra we should treat terrorism strictly as a concern for law enforcement.<p>However, the LE attitude to the terrorism problem is &quot;we can&#x27;t wait until crimes have been committed to start making arrests; we have to identify and neutralize potential terrorists <i>before</i> they do something awful&quot;. And, absent a <i>Minority Report</i> pre-crime unit, this is where we end up: with the FBI aggressively and warrantlessly sniffing around, looking for a terrorist under every rock, and even falling on the wrong side of the sting&#x2F;entrapment divide and <i>goading</i> people it thinks might be terrorists into participating in fake terror schemes to round them up.<p>I don&#x27;t have any ready solutions to the terrorism problem, but it seems as if leaving it to the military, intelligence community, or law enforcement each comes with its own set of severe drawbacks which undermine human rights.
