I am very interested in hearing the views of our armed services veterans with regard to what is widely perceived as an erosion of our civil liberties and a move toward a more autocratic, authoritarian government in this country. This perception is not a vague suspicion, but is based on actions and legal measures adopted by the Bush Administration, such as the recently signed Military Commissions bill. Your comments on this matter are greatly appreciated. I need to know whether or not veterans believe that this is what they are fighting to protect. Thank you.
