Since the ousting and capture of Saddam Hussein by U.S. forces, civil rights and personal freedoms have been restored in Iraq, as well as equal rights to all, not just to Saddam's entourage of terrorists.

You have to remember, rights don't come in groups we shouldn't have 'gay rights'; rights come as individuals, and we wouldn't have this major debate going on. It would be behavior that would count, not what person belongs to what group.

Planning and preparations for Iraq after Saddam Hussein were wholly inadequate.

I'm a child of the Civil Rights Movement.

The civil rights movement wasn't easy for anybody.

I support the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.
