Host Peter Robinson has a conversation with Professor Philip Bobbitt of Columbia University on war and terror in the 21st century.

Part Four
We tend to believe the people have more power than the government when the times are tranquil, and that the government asserts more power than the people in times of emergency. Bobbitt says this is a misleading paradigm. Just because a government's power increases during times of emergency does not mean the people must surrender either rights or power.
