Their Liberties, Our Security Democracy and Double Standards

Abstract

To those who pit Americans against immigrants and citizens against non-citizens, to those who scare peace-loving people with phantoms of lost liberty, my message is this: Your tactics only aid terrorists, for they erode our national unity and diminish our resolve. They give ammunition to America's enemies, and pause to America's friends.—Attorney General John Ashcroft, 6 December 2001
