Anthony Romero is the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, and one of the author of a new book called In Defense of Our America: The Fight for Civil Liberties in the Age of Terror. “What we tried to do in the book was tell a series of stories about what civil liberties are all about. It’s not a book about policy wonks or inside-the-Beltway politics,” said Romero on WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now in late May.
