Its not just a matter of the civil liberties I have lost, it is also a matter of the civil liberties conservatives want me to give up. Within that framework:
- More invasive airport security lines
- Privacy in my phone call/e-mail correspondance
- The right to Habeus Corpus if I am suspected of terrorism charges (the courts are doing a decent job here rolling back Bush Admin decisions here)
- Freedom of the Press (attacks on the NYT for exposing the violations of the Constitution)
- Freedom of Religion. Not really related to the WoT, but as an athiest the increasing government endorsement of evangelical Christianity is troubling to me
- Most of th 4th, 5th and 6th amendmenst if suspected of terrorism. And Bush decides who is a terrorist.
- Rights to peaceably assemble and petition government: restriction of protests near the President and other public events to "free speech zones
