Americans are more concerned about anti-terrorism laws that curtail civil liberties than they are about policies that don’t go far enough, according to findings in a new Time/CNN/ORC International poll released Wednesday.
The same month that attacks near the finish line of the Boston Marathon left three people dead and injured dozens more, 61 percent of Americans said “they are more concerned about the government enacting new anti-terrorism policies that restrict civil liberties compared to 31 percent who say they are more concerned about the government failing to enact strong new anti-terrorism policies,” according to the poll.
