The Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD) is a think tank that claims to conduct "research and education on international terrorism - the most serious security threat to the United States and other free, democratic nations. FDD produces independent analyses of global terrorist threats, as well as of the historical, cultural, philosophical and ideological factors that drive terrorism, and which threaten democracies and the individual freedoms guaranteed within democratic societies." <1> (http://www.defenddemocracy.org/about_FDD/about_FDD_show.htm?doc_id=169256&attrib_id=7615) FDD was created two days after the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
