Sack claims that they are not always necessary and are often approved without appropriate evidence that a raid is the best option.

When All Of Birmingham Went Silent It was a peaceful day in Birmingham, Alabama when the unthinkable happened. When people heard the blast, all of Birmingham went silent wondering “What was that noise?” The 16th street Baptist church had been bombed on September 15, 1963 at 10:22 am, shortly before Sunday services. This was the third bombing in 11 days. About 200 members were in the church at the time, but luckily only 23 were injured and 4 were killed.

Sculptures are a form of artwork that portray a certain message towards an audience at hand. The University of Texas at Austin holds the following two sculptures which remind us of the power of artistry: Martin Luther King, Jr (1999) and Blue Woman in Black Chair (1981). The former monument, by Ana Koh-Varilla and Jeffrey Varilla, stands in the East Mall and the latter, by George Segal, sits on the 2nd floor of the Blanton Museum. Both sculptures represent a distinct human figure yet, differ in their components in relation to their size/scale, subject matter and figure/drapery. Regarding size/ scale the Varillas create a larger than life sized bronze, figure placed on a sturdy pedestal, demonstrating the concept of authority and influence.
Without attracting attention to themselves, civilians were not suspicious about anything in the garage, resulting in the plan going well hidden for them. If they would have drawn any attention, then people could have called the police and the plan would have been given away and we would not have seen the bombing that occurred in 1993 at the World Trade Center. A hideout such as a garage was an ideal place for Yousef to work on the bomb in and continue with his

In the Ethical Life, by Russ Shafer-Landau, chapters written by Michael Walzer and Alan Dershowitz express their knowledge and opinions on the topics of terrorism and torture. Is it possible to justify and defend such acts? In the chapter “Terrorism: A Critique of Excuses”, author Michael Walzer shuts down four excuses that attempt to justify terrorism. In the chapter, “Should the Ticking Bomb Terrorist Be Tortured?”, Alan Dershowitz defends his theory that it is necessary to torture a terrorist if that means saving the lives of innocent people while protecting their civil liberties and human rights at the same time. Terrorism can never be moral because it violates all “excuses” and torture is an acceptable tactic to save lives.
Light is reflected of the aluminum to the interior walls of the vaults and softly illuminated the gallery space in a soft glow.
