I need a name for a rising subgenre

What do you call books that are reacting to the reaction to 9/11? That is, post-9/11 I got books that argued e.g. that what America really needs to protect itself from the deadly menace of weaponized squirrel brains is a secret service not bound to answer to anyone, especially elected officials. Now I'm seeing material that suggest that perhaps oversight is useful and fanatical devotion to the pope national security above all else may have draw backs. What do I call that material?

[Let's clarify this:

After 9/11 there were a lot of books and TV shows whose premise was that America needed security more than minutia like civil rights. Now that a few years have passed, an increasing number of books are concerned about the abuses that are justified as being necessary for security. I was wondering what the second sort of book, the one that a counter-reaction to the reaction to 9/11, is called]

[And I unlocked this because it's not like I mentioned anything by name]

Harlequin's Gold Eagle imprint ended up with the Destroyer series sometime in the '80s, possibly when the Destroyer's original publisher Pinnacle Books stepped away from the "post modern pulp" genre. The last Gold Eagle book was in 2006. Apparently creator Warren Murphy(co-creator Richard Sapir is deceased)wasn't happy with a lot of the Gold Eagle books in recent years, which presumably prompted him not to renew whatever contract he had with Gold Eagle. But it seems the series didn't have much better luck with Tor, who have apparently not offered Murphy a contract for more books after their initial 4, and weren't getting them out promptly enough by Murphy's standards anyways.
