Since the United States launched its War on Terrorism after the September 11th attacks many fundamental questions about civil liberties have arisen. Namely, does there have to be a trade-off between constitutional rights and investigating terrorist threats? On this edition of Making Contact we take a look at this and other questions, as we examine civil liberties in this post-9/11 era.
This program is the first in a two-part series that was produced in collaboration with Foreign Policy in Focus, a co-sponsor of the First Monday Project 2002. Since 1994, the First Monday Project has raised critical public issues on college campuses across the United States on the opening day of the Supreme Court's session, the first monday in October. In 2002, the First Monday Project focuses on civil liberties and the U.S. War on Terrorism.
