TARGETING CRITERIA FROM JUST WAR THEORY TO ASYMMETRIC WARFARE 323 IV. THE NON-STATE ACTOR AND INTERNATIONAL LAW 327 V. DEFINING THE LEGITIMATE TARGET 330 VI. LEGITIMATE TARGETS: A PRACTICAL DISCUSSION OF CURRENT APPLICATION 332 CONCLUSION: MOVING FORWARD 336 INTRODUCTION Nation-states are under attack by non-state actors; whether non-state actors present an existential threat to nation-states is debatable, probably unlikely. Nevertheless, the threat to innocent human life that terrorism poses must not be underestimated. Because terrorist organizations have defined the innocent civilian population as targets, the state must develop and implement aggressive counterterrorism measures. That, in a nutshell, is the state of the world post-9/11. While reasonable minds may disagree as to the degree of threat that terrorism poses, there is little (never say never) disagreement that terrorism poses a (not necessarily the) threat to the nation-state. This reality has forced decision-makers to address terrorism and terrorists literally the fly. In retrospect, Tuesday morning September 11, 2001, not only caught world leaders by surprise, but most were also unprepared and untrained to respond in a sophisticated and strategic manner. In the United States, as thoroughly documented elsewhere, the lack of preparation directly contributed to significant violations of human rights including torture, rendition, indefinite detention, and unauthorized wiretapping.1 The Executive Branch in the United States2 chose the path of granting itself unprecedented powers, with Congress and the Supreme Court largely acquiescing. While historians will judge whether this combination made America safer, the wise words of Benjamin Franklin- Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety deserve neither Liberty nor Safety3- were largely ignored in the aftermath of 9/11. The ten-year anniversary of 9/11 serves as a useful benchmark for looking back to gauge what measures have been implemented, to what degrees of effectiveness, and at what cost. The anniversary additionally serves as a useful benchmark for looking forward and addressing how to develop, articulate, and implement changes to existing counterterrorism strategy. This Article does not offer a broad retrospective of post-9/11 decisions; rather, this Article focuses on the definition of legitimate Discussion regarding the Manual on International Law Applicable to Air and Missile Warfare (AMW Manual)4 is particularly relevant to the target discussion. After all, air and missile warfare is related directly to the target dilemma. Any analysis of air and missile warfare must include discussion regarding defining a target and then, subsequently, determining when the individual defined as a target is, indeed, a target. In that context, the link between the definition of a target and the AMW Manual is inexorable. Two central questions with respect to operational counterterrorism are who can be targeted and when can the identified target be legitimately targeted. …" @default.
