Taking Liberties:The War on Terror, Civil Liberties, and the American Courts

. Published on April 8, 2012

We have promised our readers and viewers that, should we receive at least 10 requests, we would be posting the full speech that the ACLU President Susan Herman gave at McGill University on March 22, 2012. We received the tenth request few days ago. Thanks to all those who showed interest.

We very much appreciate if each one of you can share this clip with at least 10 other family members, friends, or colleagues. The viewer will notice that a Facebook sharing reminder will pop up at the third minute and the video clip will be locked until it is shared on Facebook, at least once.

With this newly introduced feature we wanted to make sure that the effort and the investment that have been spent on recording, editing, producing, and hosting these lengthy videos have a good social return on investment. The only way we can measure this concretely is by counting the number of views and analyzing the completion rate. The break-even point for video viewing is 100 views with at least 70% completion rate. Our full videos are ad-free and as such are only supported by private donations. Can you, our loyal readers and viewers, help us achieve the above target?

Those who are interested to watch an excerpt from the speech can do so here.

Enjoy watching this inspiring speech (you will finally find out the identities of those 12 people Susan Herman considers as heroes!)
