Ask the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay about abuses.. It's impossible to ask a lot of detainees as they were shipped back off to the countries they had fled to escape just what happened here to them after 9/11. In the middle of the night when no one could ask questions. Some of them were whisked off and their family members were never able to ascertain what had happened to them. In many States Librarians refused to hand over lists of subscribers to books. When fear permeates abuses arise. AND we as a Country were scared after 9/11. Some day some administration is going to have to do away with parts of the USA Patriot Act as when the lawyers of the ACLU and other organizations get on it to prove how many violations of our basic Civil Liberties it contains they might be able to revoke a lot of the most egregious of those violations. I personally hope so as with my own eyes I watched the film and was saddened to see how people were treated and without any charges and the negating of a persons individual rights.
