U.S. Congressional Hearing Will Analyze Status and Future of Counterterrorism Strategy
By Andrew Cochran
The U.S. House International Relations Terrorism Subcommittee, chaired by Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA), will explore the status and future of US counterterrorism strategy at a hearing today. The press statement offers some of the chairman's concerns: "Some observers suggest that insufficient attention has been paid to countering the ideology fueling Islamist terrorism. Others lament the lack of a sharp, well-formed strategy along the lines of the "containment" doctrine that guided the United States during the Cold War." Witnesses will include terrorism expert Dr. Bruce Hoffman of RAND; Arnaud de Borchgrave of the Center for Strategic and International Studies; Tim Roemer, former member of the 9/11 Commission; and Major Dana Dillon, USAR (Ret.) of The Heritage Foundation.
