Presidential Candidate comparison on National Security

• He voted for the Patriot Act and all of its revisions. • McCain wants intelligence officials to have all tools they need to fight terrorism. • He opposes detaining enemy combatants without giving them legal rights. • He generally opposes the interests of the American Civil Liberties Union.

• He voted against the original Patriot Act and later for bills reauthorizing the act as a compromise, believing the new version is still better than what the White House originally proposed and does modestly improve the Patriot Act by strengthening civil liberty protection without sacrificing the tools that law enforcement needs to keep us safe. • Obama wants Homeland Security money targeted more towards high-risk areas such as nuclear facilities, chemical plants and ports. • He introduced legislation to enhance disaster preparedness and to strengthen the security of chemical plants and drinking water security. • He wants more quality tracking of nuclear technology and spent nuclear fuel so that it doesn't end up in terrorist hands.
