Civil_Liberties

Civil Liberties Civil Liberties What has happened to the US is a confusion of terms. Liberty has been used to supplant freedom. The terrorists' acts were facilitated by the efforts of liberty groups. People don’t want to have all those checks to get on an airplane. If checks are removed it makes for terrorists being able to get on the planes. Our privacy is being invaded. So, the government backed off, and the terrorists walked through the opening. In order for the people to feel safe our civil liberties are going to be bent. President Bush's executive order authorizing military commissions to try foreign nationals suspected of terrorism is a shocking imposition of martial law that goes well beyond any measure previously upheld by US courts. This order allows military officials within the United States to arrest aliens on mere suspicion of terrorism, without having to show probable cause; to try them entirely in secret; to use any evidence against them that military officials judge to have probative value, even if it is mere hearsay or illegally obtained; to convict them on simple preponderance of such evidence, rather than proof beyond a reasonable order, military, president, people, officials, without, within, try, terrorists, laws, evidence, courts, civil, bush, beyond, against, war, terrorism, suspected, supreme, states, state, secret, police, own, outbreak, nazi, mere, liberty, liberties, law, jury, health, government, executive, disease, death, convict, checks, cause, being, been, aliens, administration, world, widespread, walked, vote, value, vaccinated
