Two quotes from a former Guantanamo prosecutor, Col. Morris Davis:
“We
used to be the land of the free and the home of the brave. Since 9/11, we’ve
been the constrained and the cowardly.”
“If
you went to the airport 15 years ago and somebody felt you up, it was
called a sexual assault, not pre-boarding. From that, to
the ‘kill list,’ to indefinite detention, liberty’s kind of gone by the
wayside. Ben Franklin said, ‘Anyone who would trade their liberty for
security deserves neither,’ and here we are now.”
