To the Editor:
Be afraid! we're told give up your rights temporarily so that we can keep you safe. This time, it's from the director of GCHQ. Next time, it may be our FBI, or our CIA or our NSA. But there's always a threat or the threat of a threat, and temporarily never ends. It's been so ever since the United States was founded. Benjamin Franklin warned us before our Bill of Rights was even written:"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
