The FAS Project on Government Secrecy has posted a very interesting article on its blog. The article does a very good job at discrediting the theory that civil liberties might sometimes have to be curtailed in order to effectively fight terrorism.
It's not easy reading, but it's definitely worthwhile. [Read it.]
And this brings to mind the worlds of the great patriot (and Philly guy) Benjamin Franklin, who said: "He who gives up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserves neither liberty nor safety."
