In addition to providing context for the conditions under which enhanced interrogation techniques were developed, the thesis provides insight into the nature of the controversy surrounding them, which made the entire issue one of the most critical topics of the George W. Bush administration. The extent of the negative public response toward the revelation of the deployment of interrogation techniques with incorporated elements of physical violence in questioning sessions conducted by U.S. security forces led to the need for an immediate response by senior government officials. In order to mitigate the potential impact on the legitimacy of state institutions, their leaders have resorted to transform the existing political discourse through the use of a variation of linguistic figures in their rhetoric.

Rakovská, Petra ; Bureš, Oldřich (advisor) ; Charvát, Jan (referee)
The thesis deals with the phenomenon of global terrorism and Saudi's counterterrorism strategy. This strategy consists of several "soft" counterterterrorist measures, which represent some sort of innovation in the field of counterterrorism. The first part is an introduction into the background of the thesis. It introduces the key terms, such as terrorism, counterterrorism and its main concepts, typology and root causes of terrorist activity. Saudi Arabia is presented as islamic country and corrupt interpetation of the islamic ideology is supposed to be the cause of extremism. Other parts of the thesis are dealing with the "soft" approach itself, which was launched in the aftermath of Rijad terrorist attacks in 2003. There is an attempt to explain its individual components, whilst the PRAC strategy is considered to be the key part. PRAC strategy offers counselling and rehabilitation to extremist individuals or sympathizers with terrorists. Saudi authorities have implemented some other countermeasures, which are then clarified by the author. Eventually, the author evaluates the approach and outlines its advantages and disadvantages.

Enhanced Interrogation Techniques in the US: Efficiency and Controversy
Janovec, Adam ; Martincová, Tereza (advisor) ; Kozák, Kryštof (referee)
The bachelor thesis titled Enhanced interrogation techniques: efficiency and controversy examines questioning program of American intelligence services called Enhanced interrogation program. This program was used since the beginning of American War on Terror and due to its harsh nature, it has created a massive wave of controversy throughout the world. The program, most commonly used during the questioning of Al Qaeda and Taliban terrorists, is frequently considered as ineffective, immoral and illegal. The principle aim of this work is an attempt to show that the launch of this program and its application during interrogation sessions of Islamic terrorists played key role in preventing other terrorist attacks with potentially catastrophic outcomes. In this effort the biggest section of the work is dedicated to getting acquainted with the course of the interrogation sessions which used the enhanced interrogation techniques. Based on the compilation with traditional interrogation techniques we can determine the effectiveness of the program and its effect to war against terror. No less important is the categorization of the program in terms of American and international legislation and reviewing whether or not is enhanced interrogation program violating any of these terms in any manner.
