W e keep thinking that things can't possibly get any worse. And then they do. It's so disheartening. Anything else you'd like to add before we wrap this up, Jason?
Thanks Joan. Sadly, I think things are going to become much worse before it gets better, particularly in the civil liberties area. This administration still has not made a clean break from the past administration's abuses. And, as Republicans continue to hammer the Democrats for being weak on national security, Democrats will continue to respond by implementing or renewing Bush era policies as a way of showing how tough they are. It's a vicious circle.
Well, this was informative even if it wasn't particularly fun or uplifting. Thanks for talking with me, Jason. We'll look forward to reading your coverage on this and other matters of public concern.
Thank you so much for your patience and for conducting a truly, truly great interview!
