Anthropologists have a responsibility to engage openly in discussions about the nature and credibility of such perspectives, especially as the boundaries of government-managed intelligence initiatives are being rendered more obscure.

Although the UN Security Council had passed several resolutions acknowledging the seriousness of the 9/11 attacks and the right of nations to defend themselves. Such unilateral military action was not the first time the United States had ignored judgments of the International Court of Justice in the interests of invading countries and capturing its leaders in pursuit of its own claims to justice. They include government-funded initiatives such as the Conflict Research Records project at the National Defense University that host and provide access to declassified artifacts that have been transferred to American ownership.
