JOE Biden(Demolat)是委员会的排名民主党人,也参加了白宫会议,并预测委员会在委员会之前待的反恐票据,包括政府当局提交的综合行为,将纳入。他补充说,在会议上存在的人,所有人都同意仔细审议的必要性,以平衡既定美国公民自由的执法需求。一些美国团体,例如美国公民自由联盟,国家阿拉伯裔美国人协会和爱尔兰国家核心核心委员会反对政府的反恐计划,这可能会限制公民自由,特别是某些族裔。 Such fears about restrictions on civil liberties are unfounded, Gorelick said. "We can take decisive and forceful action against terrorism without sacrificing our nation's fundamental liberties. The choice between civil liberties and a safe society is a false choice. We need not -- and we will not -- trade off the guarantees of the Bill of Rights in order to uphold our duty to 'insure domestic tranquility,'" she stated. Her view was shared by Louis Freeh, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). He stressed that "if the Congress confers additional authorities upon the FBI, they will be applied scrupulously." "They will be applied constitutionally," Freeh stated, "in the broad daylight of the peoples' oversight." Freeh noted that the Oklahoma City bombing had led U.S. authorities to be sure that American citizens were included in their definition of terrorism. "We cannot protect our country...if we fail to take seriously the threat of terrorism from all sources -- foreign and domestic," he said. "There is no real difference between attacks planned or perpetrated against U.S. citizens here or abroad. Our law enforcement must be the same." "For two decades the FBI has been at an extreme disadvantage with regard to domestic groups which advocate violence," Freeh continued. "We have no intelligence or background information on them until their violent talk becomes deadly action.... Law enforcement has to know something about those individuals and groups advocating deadly violence in the furtherance of their causes." NNNN .
