9. Post 9/11 U.S. Domestic Policy- HOMELAND SECURITY: U.S. government department created by the Bush administration after the attacks of September 11, 2001, to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States and reduce the country's vulnerability to terrorism.
10. Post 9/11 Foreign Policy -WAR ON TERROR:

Shifted response to terrorism from a criminal act to a war crime.
Created the department of Homeland Security to take lead on all things related to US public security
Congress gave Bush permission to use force on whoever did it
Resulted in the military pursuit of Al-Qaeda cells all over the world, with/without permission of countries they were operating in

11. Post 9/11 Foreign Policy- BUSH DOCTRINE: The U.S. foreign policy adopted by the Bush administration in 2001 that asserts America's right to attack any nation that has weapons of mass destruction that we believe might be used against U.S. at home or abroad.
12. Guantanamo Bay Detention Center: A U.S. prison camp located in Cuba to "detain extraordinarily dangerous people", interrogate and prosecute detainees (both civilian and military) for war crimes. It has been called unjust because the military acts as interrogators, prosecutor, defense counsel, judge, and executioners. It does not follow US law, but it is not on U.S. soil--- so it does not have to. Violates a number of human rights laws.
