Just a thought and a reference from the past if I may be so bold:
"McCarthyism was the politically motivated practice of making accusations
of disloyalty, subversion, or treason without proper regard for evidence.
The term specifically describes activities associated with the period in the
United States known as the Second Red Scare, lasting roughly from the late
1940s to the late 1950s and characterized by heightened fears of communist
influence on American institutions and espionage by Soviet agents."
Now simply replace "communist influence" and "espionage by Soviet Agents"
with: Terrorism and Al-Qaeda agents.
Sorry for being so "off topic", but running "amok" is exactly the right
term. Also spreading fear and taking away personal freedoms in the name of
security and safety.
