Is This Really Freedom pt 2

A podcast on the balance between civil liberties and national security. Drawn largely from “Terrorism and the Constitution” by David Cole and James X Dempsey, this podcast discusses how legislature such as the PATRIOT Act the Anti-terrorism Act of 1996 and other such legislation and movements have impeded on the liberty that Americans supposedly enjoy. Is This Really Freedom? explores the links it is appropriate to impose on personal liberties for the sake of security. Where is the line between a safe democracy and authoritarianism? Are freedom and security mutually exclusive? What is freedom really worth?
