Al Gore reads the administration the riot act.
by Decius at 1:53 am EST, Nov 11, 2003 |
] For the first time in our history, American citizens have

] having the right to a trial, without being able to see a

] families.
Increasingly I must insist that brevity is genius, but many of you will enjoy watching Gore rip the President a new one for paragraph after paragraph, even if the material might be redundant for you. If 9-11 made everyone more radical, here you can really see how deep the chasm is between the left and the right. What I will say is most interesting is that Gore is even fair. He is careful, for example, to acknowledge that some of the sections of the Patriot act aren't unreasonable.... And yet he still has much to complain about. |

Al Gore on Freedom and Security
by Jeremy at 9:51 am EST, Nov 10, 2003 |
I truly believe that some of the issues most important to Americas future are ones that all of us should be dealing with. And perhaps the most important of these issues is the one I want to talk about today: the true relationship between Freedom and Security. Watch or read the text of Al Gore's speech, given in Washington DC on Sunday afternoon. |
