In our efforts to get the "bad guys"
responsible for acts of terrorism, we must be careful not to punish the
innocent by trampling on the civil liberties that are the foundation of
our free society. We do not want to lose the very freedoms that we are
trying so hard to defend. The following are sources of information on
this very important topic.
