WELCOME

Here is some background about TRAC's latest special report concerning criminal terrorism enforcement by the U.S. federal government. After an extensive analysis of thousands of case by case records obtained from the federal courts and two agencies in the Department of Justice, TRAC concludes that eight years after 9/11, there is significant disagreement within the federal government as to who should be prosecuted as a terrorist and who should not.

The information is embargoed for Monday, September 28, 2009 (6:30 PM EDT Sunday, September 27).

The embargo is designed to give reporters time to digest the report and then raise questions they may have with the Department of Justice, individual U.S. Attorneys, criminal defense attorneys, the FBI, DHS and other federal agencies, members of Congress and state and local officials concerned about terrorism.
