Civil Liberty is already at an all time low. Bush, his administration, and the Congress have already gutted the Constitution with the Patriot Acts and the Military Commissions Act.
These two pieces of legislation have already removed most of the protections for citizens under the Constitution.
Under these laws, until reversed by the Supreme Court (sometime after the fact), give the president sole and exclusive power to declare ANY person in the world as an enemy combatant, hold them without any notification to any person or entity, for an unlimited period of time, and treat them as they see fit. There is no recourse, no appeal, and citizenship in this country or any other has no bearing on the treatment.
The next "terrorist attack" will not result in the loss of more civil liberties, but in the implementation of the full force of the laws I have already mentioned. Marshall Law will be declared and the military will be used to police our citizenry.
I implore all who read this to look at the analysis of these laws available on line.

No, just as we didn't lose any civil liberties after 9/11 (despite what liberals say). Flying airplanes into buildings is not a civil liberty.

After 3 decades of eroding the civil liberties of the majority, in the US, I find this sudden obsession of the liberals, with civil liberties, to be hilarious.

Besides the warrantless wiretapping of US citizens, and the suspension of Habeas Corpus that occurred under Bush and the pretext of national security, I will go with YES. For a short while, anyhow...

i don't understand why Republicans cared approximately 9/eleven interior the 1st place. Terrorists in basic terms attack places that are relatively substantial to usa that are cities basically occupied via liberals, no longer their podunk backwater cities.

Well, you can bet that profling Muslims won't be an issue anymore, assuming they are the ones to carry out the attack.
