“…In other words, conditions such as military gains or losses by a region/party may be able to sway credibility across the board. The credibility effects may be exemplified by the image gains made by the US news media following the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center (WTC) and Pentagon (Nacos et al, 2007).

Bush administration with regard to the protection of the United States, including the subsequent decision to go to war in Afghanistan and Iraq as part of the 'Global War on Terrorism' 10 Bush also stated that this kind of war would include invisible measures, pointing to the kinds of measures needed to prevent and pre-empt terrorist threats, including warrantless wiretaps and bulk data collection 11 . Even after the failed identification of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) in Iraq, Bush was re-elected as US President in 2004, meaning that his counter-…”
