He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither </quote> I don't want a political debate here. My e-mail is in the profile.

  If you are going to use the quote, get it right: "Those who would sacrifice essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety" (note the words "essential" and "temporary" in there, the interesting discussion is about what qualifies as essential liberty in this debate and whether or not the safety provided would be temporary or have a more lasting effect.)

    The really interesting discussion is how a quote became an axiom.
