Description

The story of the Antiterrorism Act's (Antiterrorism and effective death penalty act of 1996) passage shows how easily civil liberties and constitutional principles can be cast aside under the influences of political posturing and ethnic bias. Dr. Mazem Al-Najjar is interviewed from Manatee County, FL as an example of a secret evidence case.
