Description

At a four person panel on the question of whether the American public will relinquish its civil liberties for the promise of security in the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks, only two speakers are heard from due to the clip being cut short. The four present are: Congressional staffer Sampak Garg, Constitutional law expert David Cole, legal advisor for the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, and Johnny Barnes of the American Civil Liberties Union. However, only Garg and Cole are seen speaking against the frightening speed with which new discriminatory laws were presented and adopted after September 11th, 2001. These laws included the legalization of eavesdropping upon attorney/client meetings, racial and ethnic profiling, secret trials by military tribunal, and the indefinite detention of immigrants without criminal charge.
