In answer to original round of questions (from the Chair, Sen.

Collins): “We cannot live in liberty without security, but we would not

want to live in security without liberty.” Judge Chertoff pointed out

that response to crisis is a human endeavor that must always seek the

right balance between order and liberty but in which mistakes are sure

to be made. The goal should be to pay attention to the lessons we learn

from what we do — like the ones outlined in the DOJ Inspector General’s

report on the post-9/11 detentions — so that we can strike an

increasingly better balance between order and liberty.
