On March 19, United States forces launched ground and air attacks on Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Here in the United States, Operation Liberty Shield, launched on March 17 following the decision to raise the homeland security advisory threat level to High (orange), is fully implemented. Liberty Shield is a unified operation that integrates selected national protective measures with the involvement of federal, state, local and private responders and authorities from around the country. Measures underway as part of Liberty Shield include: - Increased security at borders - Stronger transportation protections - Ongoing measures to disrupt threats - Greater protections for critical infrastructure and key assets - Increased public health preparedness Why would a country go to all of these measures? Because in the United States it is clear we value homeland security of due process rights. In the second session of the One Hundred Seventh Congress of the United States of America, held on Wednesday January 23, 2002 an act to establish the Department of Homeland Security was held. It was to be ratified by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America during assembly. Cleary these individuals, elected by the citizens of the United States, thought best to do what elected government officials have always done: do what is in the best interest for the citizens they represent. So, today I stand before you strongly urging you to ignore any futile attempt by my opposition on my left and reveres the given resolution, because in America we should value the protection of our lives more than a few weak civil freedoms easily adjusted too. There are three reasons why you should in fact value homeland security over due process rights.
