Valarie Kaur of Auburn Seminary and Groundswell discusses counterterrorism measures and increased government surveillance after the Boston marathon bombing with Melissa Harris-Perry. Transcript via MSNBC: "That's right. this entire debate, we must remember, is happening as we're living out the consequences of the counterterrorism measures that our government put into place after 9/11. Right now the city of New York is debating whether their police department needs independent oversight after it was exposed that the largest state surveillance program of innocent muslims for more than a decade. This week, a nonpartisan commission released a report that unanimously concluded that the United States did in fact torture detainees after 9/11. As we speak, 63 detainees are on a hunger strike to protest the detention, the largest protest to date. this is really concerning. we can't have another post 9/11 decade. The fact that already representatives like steven king are asking to us rethink immigration reform, just as we were about to make headway, as if all immigrants are now automatically suspect or potentially terrorists is deeply troubling."
