As Commission on Civil Rights Examines Freedom Post 9/11, ACLU Says Fears Setting Public Policy
WASHINGTON - The American Civil Liberties Union today joined other civil liberties experts in telling the United States Commission on Civil Rights that invasive security measures established after 9/11 threaten freedom and civil rights in the United States.
"We run the danger of letting our fears, not our values, set public policy," ACLU Legislative Counsel Timothy Edgar told the commission, which is an independent, bipartisan agency tasked with monitoring federal civil rights enforcement. "The American public deserves a government that preserves both their security and their liberty."
