Have They Forgotten


             "calls illegally intercepted by foreign governments as evidence in US courts" (Huntley .
             no pg). It is hard to think that the Attorney General could be as unethical as to have .
             foreign nations do our dirty work for us. If this is such a good idea, why bother going to .
             foreign nations? Sarah Huntley believes, "Ashcroft's proposal would encourage US .

             would in reality be giving the terrorists the win by letting our country become just as .

             people, that despite the nation's current situation, it would be a mistake to "give the .
             government sweeping new authority to eavesdrop and monitor communication in the .

             citizens personal lives and would not only be unnecessary but intrusive. "This loss of .
             privacy would not do much to enhance security" (Chermerinsky 7). Would anything .
             really be that much different today if these laws had been put in effect two years ago? .
             Probably not, in fact what is really needed is a change in our Intelligence department. .
             Had the United States put more effort and time into developing our nation's intelligence, .
             perhaps they could have discovered some clues to prevent or lessen the September 11th .
             tragedy.
             One of the most cherished American freedoms is the freedom of movement, the .
