===Attack on civil liberties===
Glenn Greenwald observed:
{{quotebox-float|"Involvement of the [[intelligence community]] in the domestic activities of U.S. citizens is one of the most dangerous breaches of civil liberties and democratic order the U.S. Government can perpetrate. It was after [[World War II]] when the [[CIA]], the [[NSA]] and other security state agencies that wield immense and unlimited powers in the dark were created in the name of fighting the [[Cold War]]. Legal and institutional prohibitions on wielding that massive machinery against the American public were central to the always-dubious claim that this security behemoth that operates completely in the dark was compatible with [[democracy]]. As the [[ACLU]] noted, “in its 1947 charter, the CIA was prohibited from spying against Americans, in part because [[President Truman]] was afraid that the agency would engage in political abuse.”<ref>https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-us-intelligence-community-flouting</ref>}}

{{Quotebox-float|“Months before the [[Oklahoma City bombing]] took place, Biden introduced another bill called the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995. It previewed the 2001 Patriot Act by allowing secret evidence to be used in prosecutions, expanding the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and wiretap laws, creating a new federal crime of ‘terrorism’ that could be invoked based on political beliefs, permitting the U.S. military to be used in civilian law enforcement, and allowing permanent detention of non-U.S. citizens without judicial review. The Center for National Security Studies said the bill would erode ‘constitutional and statutory due process protections’ and would ‘authorize the Justice Department to pick and choose crimes to investigate and prosecute based on political beliefs and associations.’<ref>https://www.thebigsmoke.com.au/2021/01/10/joe-biden-authored-the-patriot-act-now-hes-promised-new-domestic-terror-laws/</ref>}}
