"American civil liberties are as fixed and steady an influence in national life as the stock market--and every bit as elastic. Like the market, the rights enjoyed by U.S. citizens have grown to an extent that the Founding Fathers probably never imagined. But in times of danger, civil liberties have shrunk, suffering what market analysts might call a correction." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article explores the civil liberty effects of Sept. 11 [2001] on various aspects of American society.
