I have many concerns with the way we discuss the balance between national security and civil liberties as if they were mutually exclusive objectives on opposite sides of the scale. I believe they mutually reinforce each other. What makes this nation strong is the relationship between the government and the governed. That which drives a wedge between the two weakens our nation.
