Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This paper answers the question of whether the United States is hypocritical in its criticism of other countries human rights records in light of its own treatment of detainees in the global war on terror (GWOT). It first offers a brief overview of the role human rights played in the formation of American's government and how it continues to be an important influence on U.S. policy today. It next examines criticisms of America's treatment of detainees in the GWOT and then provides examples where the U.S. government has criticized other governments for conduct similar to its own in that campaign. The paper concludes by analyzing the ethical aspect of America's actions using morale theory to determine whether the U.S. has been hypocritical and briefly discusses potential consequences of hypocritical behavior, within the context of the GWOT as well as on a broader scale. Ultimately the paper reaches the conclusion that the U.S. has been hypocritical and that its hypocrisy could undermine its efforts in the GWOT.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The protest process is a means of ensuring that the Government conducts procurements in accordance with statutory and regulatory procedures. Additionally, protests serve a vital role in assuring full and open competition in the federal acquisition process. Protests can be costly in many aspects, including the direct costs of taking the action as well as more indirect costs such as program delays and damaged business relationships. The Government recognizes the negative impact protests have on the procurement process and has enacted several laws and regulations in an effort to reduce protest frequency and streamline procurement procedures. While it appears that the Government has made substantial efforts aimed at reducing protests, it becomes necessary to ask whether they were successful in their efforts. This study examined one such piece of legislation, the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 (FASA), and found that there was an impact on particular contracting practices. Additionally, the findings of this study indicate that protest frequency within the Air Force has decreased since FASA's implementation. This correlation suggests that FASA did have an impact on reducing the frequency of protests.
