Der Krieg gegen den Terrorismus, der manchmal als "Global War on Terror" oder unter dem unbeholfenen Akronym GWOT bekannt ist, wurde zur Linse, durch die die Bush-Administration fast alle ihre außenpolitischen Entscheidungen beurteilte. Das erwies sich auf mehreren Ebenen als gefährlich kontraproduktiv.

This stuff on enemy combatants, the Bush Administration has fought like a tiger to avoid having to produce any evidence to a judge to show why somebody is locked up in perpetuity. Another example of that is the torture scandal.

The Obama administration is fighting to block access to names of visitors to the White House, taking up the Bush administration argument that a president doesn't have to reveal who comes calling to influence policy decisions.
