Assessing the Impact of Post-9/11 Anti-Terror Legislation – interesting interview @ http://gnn.tv
With the Bush Administration’s increasingly fervent clamor for war in Iraq, much of the mainstream media’s journalistic emphasis has shifted from domestic to international concern. But, for those Americans who are engaged in the pursuit of social justice and civil liberty, the biggest battle has already been fought… and lost.
With the recent passage of the Homeland Security Act in November, 2002 (which further entrenched the draconian spirt of its precedent PATRIOT Act), the United States has entered a new era of constricted freedom that many legal experts say is unprecedented. And, while there has been a substantial record of mainstream complaint about the frightening nature of the post-911 legislation, the majority of American citizens have little sense of how these new laws directly affect their daily lives.
In a recent interview with Riva Enteen, Program Director at the San Francisco chapter of the National Lawyer’s Guild, GNN asked the career libertarian to break down the basic aspects of the PATRIOT and Homeland Security Acts. Taking it a step further, Riva recounted some of the more dramatic cases of FBI action against civilians since the September 11 attacks. As you will see, the perimeter of impact stretches far beyond the immediate suspects of terrorist activity.
