-	Well, I definitely think	0:00
	that the post 9/11 period	0:02
	did cause a paradigm shift for us	0:04
	in a lot of ways.	0:08
	Everywhere we go now,	0:10
	we see the opportunity effect	0:12
	of invoking national security.	0:14
	Right across the globe,	0:18
	where people are suspects,	0:21
	where there's militancy.	0:24
	We see the invocation of national security	0:26
	in order to deviate from the rule of law	0:29
	or in order to deviate from protecting people's human rights	0:32
	right across the globe.	0:35
	And I don't think that we had	0:37
	that kind of global phenomenon pre 9/11.	0:39
	We had it in certain places.	0:45
	We had it rear its ugly head every now and then,	0:46
	but now every place that I work in...	0:49
	uses, in a very discretionary way,	0:56
	national security as an excuse	0:59
	to target people,	1:02
	minorities,	1:05
	to target and suppress free expression.	1:08
	And so I do think that	1:12
	what we've really have post 9/11	1:14
	is a whole new world	1:17
	in terms of the invocation of national security	1:18
	to justify oppressive practices.	1:20
