Unit 13 no place to hide

Typing in the web address was so simple, don't know why I did not think of it sooner. Anyway. This was an interesting and disturbing read. Our lives will never be the same because of 9-11. However, how do we strike a balance between protecting ourselves and protecting our freedoms? "Freedom is a dual edged sword". Excess either way brings problems. Think of the fact that it appears that plans for what happened on 911 were found on the laptop of a 'terrorist', but nothing was done with this information. I don't know if it was true, but consider that it was true, who dropped the ball, who can we blame. Because that's a favorite, must blame someone.

And this do not even speak to the massive number of aliens, legal and not in the country and the world. Do they have less rights as non-citizens? I am considering reading the rest of the book.
