The U.S. Department of State publishes a list of foreign terrorist organizations. Because of this label, many Americans lack the understanding of what these groups are trying to accomplish. You will hear broad, media-fed statements like, "They want us to live in the Stone Age," or "They are opposed to our (Western) way of life." Although these statements may contain some truth, they very often do not fully define what these groups are trying to accomplish. Without this information, how can the government effectively combat these groups' actions? The reality is that they cannot. The misconceptions are not limited to the general public; many in government are also guided in some cases by them.
Your company, as well as two others, have been contracted to provide a service for the U.S. Department of State.
