“In his new book, ‘Tainted Legacy: 9/11 and the Ruin of Human Rights,’ (executive diroeector of Amnesty International USA William) Schulz argues that rising global terrorism requires the left ‘to rethink some of our most sacred assumptions.’ A vigorous defense of human and civil liberties, while essential to spreading democracy worldwide, is not enough to stop terrorists from blowing up airplanes or shopping malls, he says. And that presents the left with a problem, because some of the tools needed to fight terror, such as stricter border controls or beefed up intelligence work — and, perhaps, war against states that support terrorists — chafe against traditional leftist values.” —Salon
