Freedom or *security?*

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Jacob G. Hornberger

01/08/14

Never mind that it is the foreign policies of the Pentagon and the CIA that has led to the constant threat of terrorism that they say they need to protect us from. That s considered irrelevant. What matters is that the terrorists, like the communists, are coming to get us and that the only way to prevent that is to have the government spy on its own citizens and destroy other aspects of civil liberty. This is precisely the type of thing that goes on in totalitarian countries...
