In a letter to the editor, Hattiesburg American, September 10, 2006, entitled, "We have fewer civil liberties" , Robert Press, assistant professor of political science at the University of Southern Mississippi, adamantly opines, "Americans want safety; they also value their civil liberties. The debate on where the balance lies is far from over."
 
As a military veteran, I would suggest that Asst Prof Press arrange to debate his heavily weighted, professorially liberal stance with the University's Department of Military Science whose future ROTC graduates are destined to suffer the life and death consequences of the ultimately achieved "balance" .
 
I'm sending an information copy of this letter to the Professor, Department of Military Science for possible future coordination.
