Essentially Wrong

This entry is essentially wrong.

Homeland Security is not a "neologism". While the term has surged in its popular use of late, it's founding traditions go as far back as at least the constitution in this country and further in terms of its use. The concept of "homeland" emerged in the 17th century as a wartime term for the place where vanquished people are forced back to.

The difference between now and the past is that Homeland Security was often thought of as an implied power of local and state governments granted by the 10th amendment of the constitution. As Federal jurisdication has increasingly encrouched upon state powers, so has the responsibility for domestic emergency response.

11 Sep 2001 was the catalyst for changes in regards to homeland security and terrorism. As recently as the Clinton adminstration in 1997, it was suggested that a major reorganization was needed in order to better prepare the country for a growing domestic terrorism danger.

The actions the government has taken in terms of "homeland security" have been numerious. I believe the examples of "New domestic surveillance and spying efforts, particularly with respect to immigration, transportation, military installations, and utilities" and "Secret arrests and detentions" are somewhat misleading "NPOV(?)" and require some substantiation if they are to be used in this context. An authoratative source is warranted if they are to remain as written.

Lets see...what else. The difference between Homeland Security and Homeland Defense. 1)Homeland security is the prevention, preemption, and deterrence of, and defense against, aggression targeted at U.S. territory, sovereignty, domestic population, and infrastructure as well as the management of the consequences of such aggression and other domestic emergencies.2)Homeland defense is a subheading of homeland security. It is the protection of U.S. territory, domestic population and critical infrastructure against military attacks emanating from outside the United States. National Security differs from Homeland security in that it takes on an international element and involves protecting and promoting the United States to the world.

For these reasons, I plan on doing a major edit to this entry in the future after seeing what responses I receive from this discussion entry. As written currently, the entry implies a bias without really explaining the term.

Linking to the Wikipedia entry for Homeland would be good here.
As long as you cite your sources (no original research), such contributions would be welcome. Remember for this entry that information on prior usage of the term "Homeland Security" is appropriate here and information on the simpler term "Homeland" is not. "Choice of the term" might be better included under "Criticisms of the term", as might any information on any other nations/lack of other nations which use the term.213.86.59.92 15:30, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
I agree that this article doesn't expain the term very well, but if you're planning a major edit I'd like to see sources. Twilight Realm 07:47, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
