The Clinton administration had identified non-state actors (such as al-Qaeda) as the main threat to the United States, whereas the Bush administration first did not want to recognize non-state actors as threats (to the US information nfrastructure system) and only changed its attitude after Spetember 11.File in questo prodotto:
