[edit] Comment 1

Hmm - that last edit seems to imply that counter-insurgency isn't a synonym for counter-terrorism. I think I would dispute that implication... -- Khendon

Terrorism isn't the same as insurgency--different methods, and different aims. An organized rebel army isn't a terrorist group, whereas pro-government forces kidnapping dissidents are terrorists but not insurgents. It is politically convenient for governments to paint the two as equivalent, but it's not accurate. Vicki Rosenzweig

I equate insurgency, protracted war, and guerilla warfare. Mao wrote On Protracted War, and a variety of authors from Right to Left wrote on guerilla warfare, so I don't consider either term to be caught up in the "War on Terror". I've also worked with the term "insurgency" since the late sixties. My point is that "terror" appears in much of such literature, often as the main operational method of Mao's Phase I. One can have terror without guerilla warfare, as in a government death squad, but I would argue that there has been no significant insurgency that did not practice terror. In addition to repressive governments, some of today's supranational movements do not seem to be embarking on guerilla warfare with the eventual goal of taking over a nation-state, but, rather in the anarchist tradition, to destabilize states that displease them.

[edit] Country by country list

I have completed A, and will begin work on ocuntries beginning with B whenever I next get a chance... feel free to add more countries - Factoid 03:41, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Should Alliance Base be included, and if so where?--ghost 20:36, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Counterterrorism vs. antiterrorism

Counterterrorism is different from antiterrorism, and should be kept as a seperate entry. While it is one of two major strategies in the fight against global terrorism, I would say it is the "first among equals". Since 9/11, more has been done for antiterrorism - that is, defensive measures against future terrorist attack. as “Antiterrorist defenses constitute a very large proportion of the U.S. fight against terrorism, certainly in resources but also in leadership attention” (Pillar, Paul R. Terrorism and U.S. Foreign Policy (Washington D.C., Brookings Institute Press, 2001), p. 38). A look at the FY 2006 budget for the Department of Homeland Security is one place to look; the budget includes $41.1 billion for the DHS, a seven-percent increase. Included in that budget is the establishment of the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO), reflecting the Administrations' concerns that nuclear devices, fissile material or radiological material may fall into the hands of terrorists. In fact, “the budget includes $125 million to purchase Radiation Portal Monitors (RPMs)” (Department of Homeland Security: Press Room – Press Releases. Accessed online December 2005) to detect the smuggling of both gamma and neutron radiation over our borders.

[edit] Here I am!

I've got some experience in the field of counter-terrorism. I'm taking it upon myself to clean up this page, as it absolutely reeks of kiddies playing too much Counter-strike.

[edit] Rapid Action Battalion

Please could any interested editors please view the new article about the Rapid Action Battalion, since it has been started from scratch. Cheers, Tompsci 15:09, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External links

Sorry, deleted the link to "Mockery on terrorist organizations", as it merely linked to a page containing materials poking fun at various terrorist-related issues. The thing is, it really doesn't relate to counter-terrorism. Again, sorry for bothering you. Nagyss 00:54, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
