Louise Roback and William Schneider on Freedom and Security
In a pair of articles in the Press-Herald on Monday, Louise Roback, the new executive director of the MCLU, and William Schneider, the lead homeland security prosecutor in the Maine Federal AG's office, addressed homeland security due process issues.
Schneider: "We can fight any terrorist organization and any threat within the guidelines of the Constitution . . . the more we have to sacrifice civil liberties, the more the terrorists will win"
Roback: "People say, 'Well, I don't see my rights are threatened, so whatever the government needs to do is fine.' But once the balance shifts, you don't get those rights back. That's why we should care."
