Cynthia Dill: Opposes unlimited detention of terror suspects

All four candidates said they oppose unlimited detention of terror suspects, including by the Obama administration. Dill said Congress authorized detentions with too little public debate. "I believe we have to make choices and cast votes based on constitutional liberties and civil rights. There's been a total lessening of liberties" since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Dill said.
