Naomi Wolf on Obama: ‚His record on civil liberties is shocking‘

I‘m awfully disappointed. In terms of civil liberties his record has been shockingly, alarmingly disappointing. He has carried on the policies initiated by Bush‘s justice department of suppressing information under the guise of state secrets. I‘ve been witnessing his personal appeal to pass the National Defence Authorisation Act, an unspeakable legislation that would give him the power to detain any US citizen indefinitely without charge or trial.
