Former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor said in a speech Monday that she believed the war on terror was only beginning, and that balancing national security against the protection of civil liberties will be a key issue. She said the United States had at times failed to strike that "delicate balance" correctly, erring on the side of national security, but refused to assess whether the approach adopted by the Bush administration, or the Court she left in January, has been the right one.

Former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor said Monday she believed the war on terror was only at the beginning, and the challenge of balancing national security against the protection of civil liberties will be a key issue in the coming years.
O’Connor, speaking in the tiny mountainous principality of Liechtenstein, said the United States had at times failed to strike that “delicate balance” correctly in the past, erring too greatly on the side of national security.
