First Amendment advocates fear erosion of rights in aftermath of attacks. In the aftermath of the worst terrorist attack in America, First Amendment proponents expect and fear that the nation's heightened national security concerns will soon overpower some of its basic freedoms.

"First Amendment advocates?" "First Amendment proponents?" I HATE the fact that people seem to make sense of these descriptors, given the clear implication that some Americans are NOT First Amendment advocates and proponents.

Just a note (though I'm sure most people have noticed by now), I generally quote from the header and a paragraph from the text, and reserve my own comments. Not always, but generally.

Despite what all is said.
