fending (3) individuals and society from those who operate outside the rules frequently calls on/x/
for (4) compromise. Communications surveillance/supervision (5) is an area where democratic na-
tions might see civil freedoms/liberties (6) put to the rest/test (7). In the United States, communi-
cations surveillance/supervision (8) — intercepts or wiretapping — can be done only with a court 
order, but that is not true in most countries of the world. There is no doubt that such surveillance/
supervision (9) is increasing worldwide, based on the justification/grounds (10) that it combats 
the foreign terrorist threat.
The fight against/with (11) transnational terrorism cannot be perpetrated/conducted (12) by 
countries on an individual basis/base (13). Yet, a cohesive/coherent (14) international effort is 
more appearance and sentiment than reality. Differences between/among (15) nations over how 
to treat countries that sponsor terrorism frequently have been a source of friction. Future success 
requires greater exchange of information on threats, of common policies on how to negotiate 
with terrorists and their supporters, and common action to find and disband/dismantle/dismem-
ber (16) terrorist organizations. 
No combination of imaginable or affordable measures will give complete protection/defense 
(17) from terrorist threats. Nor should this be expected; after all, large armies do not stop all war
and effective/affective (18) police departments do not detect all crimes before they are commit-
ted. But it is reasonable to ask what protection/defense can be employed against the complex/
range (19) of threats. A disciplined and sustained international effort by intelligence and law en-
forcement agencies worldwide is required to impede terrorist threats. Due to established chan-
nels of international cooperation, now we can be reasonably sure that any terrorist group can be 
identified and tracked (here the issue of sanctuary/sanctity (20) looms large). But in the longer run, 
efforts must include defensive measures, effective/affective persecution/prosecution (21) of per-
petrators of terrorist acts, and offensive action against groups that are engaged in international 
terrorism until it is the terrorist who must “think again.”
Ex. 36. 
a) Fill in the gaps with any suitable word.
b) Comment on how serious a threat cyberterrorism is. Where 
does one draw the line between disruptive hacking and cyberterrorism? Discuss 
the advantages the Internet affords to terrorists and possible countermeasures. 
How real is the cyberthreat? Can information technologies be used to kill people 
or facilitate such a killing? What opportunities exist for cyberterrorists and 
‘information warriors’ to use computers as genuine killing machines?
