Global War on Terror Timeline: September 11, 2001 to January 20, 2009

Abstract

The Seton Hall Center for Policy and Research created a timeline as a research tool to study the United States’ Global War on Terror; the United States Detentions in Guantanamo Bay Naval Station and the United States Detention Policy at home and abroad. The timeline identified and, where possible linked, to sources for each key even. For obvious reasons the timeline is long. In order to make it more user friendly it is organized so that those seeking specific periods of time can go to each year and then within each year can go to select months of interest. The links are most useful when it is used on line but the information is there in hard copy as well. The timeline is constantly being updated.
