war on terror

At recent Senate hearings on the biggest threats threats the U.S. faces, Senators and witnesses were notably silent on ongoing U.S. strikes in Somalia against al-Shabaab. The hearings and threat assessment raise serious questions over why the U.S. continues to carry out military action against groups like al-Shabaab. Why attack groups who pose so little threat that they aren’t even considered worthy of mention in these hearings?

A new report released today by FCNL concludes that the Global War on Terror has failed to achieve its goals and caused immeasurable harm both at home and abroad.
