===3.2 Internal Security and Individual Rights=== | ===3.2 Internal Security and Individual Rights=== | ||
The defense of the country requires that we have adequate intelligence to detect and to counter threats to domestic security. This requirement must not take priority over maintaining the civil liberties of our citizens. The Constitution and Bill of Rights shall not be suspended even during time of war. Intelligence agencies that legitimately seek to preserve the security of the nation must be subject to oversight and transparency. We oppose the government's use of secret classifications to keep from the public information that it should have, especially that which shows that the government has violated the law. | The defense of the country requires that we have adequate intelligence to detect and to counter threats to domestic security.
