Ron Paul said this on September 12, 2001.
“Demanding domestic security in times of war invites carelessness in preserving civil liberties and the right of privacy. Frequently the people are only too anxious for their freedoms to be sacrificed on the altar of authoritarianism thought to be necessary to remain safe and secure. Nothing would please the terrorists more than if we willingly give up some of our cherished liberties while defending ourselves from their threat.”
This has come true through the seven years after 9/11. Just look at all the restrictions with airlines and lack of privacy and control over your life. According to what Paul said, we have lost the war we should have never started. And I do not feel any safer or secure.
I found this on digg.com. It ties in nicely.
What We’ve Sacrificed in the Name of Security
