How did 9/11 impact democracy, civil rights and civil liberties?

Question

how did 9/11 impact democracy, civil rights and civil liberties in the US and elsewhere? (please give me source if possible, thanks!)

Answer 1

It really has not.

Look around and see if you can name a person who at a specific time and location had a civil liberty infringed.

If you read the critics words carefully - it is all speculation.  

Even worse - it is cowardice and slander - they are counting on the fact that the people they are making accusations of cannot defend themselves because their work is classified.

Thus is is safe and easy to slander a servicemember who served at Gitmo by claiming that he/she 'tortured people' because they know that person is forbidden to discuss what they did.  And as a result cannot defend themselves.

BTW - has anybody noticed that none of the Democratic congressmembers who slandered the troops with their torture allegations have ever apologized?

Answer 2

In every aspect of it, It was the hit blow that Bush-Laden and Co gave to this country, besides of the rest of criminal facts that he has done, like no ever other President,( if we can call that a president), done. Beside a war criminal it is a civilian slaughter house.

Answer 3

The events of 9/11 did not impact democracy, civil rights or civil liberties. The country became more vigilant for its own safety and that of its citizens. Those who were already critics of the US and assisted terrorists or condoned their actions were surveilled. The government would have shirked its responsibilities. I welcome all efforts taken to preserve my liberty. I have nothing to fear if I did nothing which was a threat to my country.

Answer 4

"A horror", ,just like said by Marlon Brando at the end of Coppola's Apocalypse Now.

Answer 5

Other than being forced to watch 3000 Americans being murdered by cowards it hasn't.

There is not one law that was passed that effected my life in a negative way.

Answer 6

Torture was allowed for U.S. citizens if reason to suspect them of being Al-Qaeda. War against imaginary being Allah who cannot be fought but is made use of by the Al-Qaeda organisation. In Germany a man was arrested on suspicion of terrorism[Muslim buisnessman] Sweden said to cooperate with U.S. on Extraordinary Rendition. many reports on possible acts of terror in new to get people excited.Greed as usual continuing it's threat to security of all nations. No restraints for it though sparation of chutch and state rule extended to greed as religion might work
