| More than a century ago, U. S. Supreme Court
Justice Louis D. Brandeis defined the right to privacy as "the right
to be let alone." The sanctity of privacy -- personal freedom --
has long been a cornerstone of American values and jurisprudence. |

| But sometimes, this impulse toward the rights of the individual runs into conflict with generally accepted concerns for the welfare of all. The USA Patriot Act was passed in the wake of the recent terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, and some are calling for even more aggressive new laws to safeguard national security. Others argue that American freedoms are being threatened. | ||
