There will be a film screening at the ALA conference (Monday, June 27) of the movie Unconstitutional. The movie
details the shocking way that civil liberties of American citizens and immigrants alike have been infringed upon, curtailed, and rolled back since 9/11 and the USA Patriot Act.
Robert Greenwald, the director, also directed Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism, Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election, and Uncovered: The Whole Truth About the Iraq War.

we can not defend democracy abroad and abandon at home
but the war in iraq and afghanistan are dending democracy abroad while patriot act is abandoning it at home this lowers the bar for freedom

in the end I dont want the us constitution or any foreign constitution to read somthing like this
all living human beens are people unless parliament rules other wise
all poeple have the freedom of speech unless other wise dictated by law all speech is protected unless other wise dictated by law
now this style of constitutional law would provide no protion are rights but the patriot act is worded no different some spots and if up held by the courts we could very well have a interpretation of the us constitution just like the sample I gave above

After 9/11, Bush made two statements: “Terrorists hate America because America is a land of freedom and opportunity.†and “We intend to attack the root causes of terrorism.†..Sounds like everything is going according to plan.
