WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Families of Sept. 11 victims criticized President Bush on Monday for eroding civil rights in the U.S. war on terror, and said they believed airport security was no better than a year ago.
Stephen Push, head of the Sept. 11 Homeland Security Alliance, gave the Bush administration a "C-" grade on a report card in urging the government to temper military gusto with fair treatment of those placed under arrest. Push said he did not believe suspended judicial rights -- such as denying terrorist suspects access to a lawyer or expeditious trial -- were needed or desirable.
"I'm not sure it is really necessary in order to protect us," he told reporters.
"The fact that over a thousand people were swept up and there have been no reports of them being terrorists, it raises questions on whether these people were really being treated well."
