Challenging US Human Rights Violations since 9/11
GUEST: Ann Fagan Ginger, Constitutional Lawyer and author, Executive Director of the Meiklejohn Civil Liberties Institute, editor of “Challenging US Human Rights Violations since 9/11”
This Monday, US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was questioned by members of the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding the National Security Agency’s warantless wiretaps of international phone calls made by American residents. Some senators wondered out loud why the NSA stopped short of monitoring domestic-to-domestic calls. We live in a historic time, when many freedoms we took for granted, and many assumptions we had about the role of the government are being violated. Most of these violations stem from the exploitation of post-9/11 fears. My next guest, Ann Fagan Ginger, is an acclaimed constitutional lawyer and author. She has just edited a detailed volume of reports on various human rights violations since 9/11. Ann Fagan Ginger is in Los Angeles for a series of speaking events.

Here is the other side of peace.
Have you heard the book, “After 9/11: A Korean Girl’s Sexual Journey?” I strongly believe that you will have something to say about it, and especially about Chapter 43, “9/11s are forgiveness,” which makes “9/11” a general noun for the worst disaster that could happen in one’s life. I have never seen any writer put it this way.
The moving story, dealing with her struggles, gave me a greater understanding of humanity…and especially of immigrants.
Hello. fantastic job. I did not expect this. This is a splendid story. Thanks!
