NAY I say!
Sen Bayh showed that he holds civil liberties dear by casting his vote in opposition of Gen Hayden's nomination for CIA Chief. Sen Bayh was one of only 15 Senators to vote No.
Of course undoubtably those on the right will call him an ultra-liberal while those on the left will continue to claim that he is a Republican in Democratic clothing.
He's neither. He's a moderate Democrat who believes we don't have to trade liberty for security.

it's a rewording of the classic Benjamin Franklin line - "Those who would trade liberty for security deserve neither."
Sen Bayh has said numerous times that we can be safe and not trample of the civil liberties of Americans, but the Administration seems to believe it's either/or.
As for not saying what he truly means... well all politicians are like that... They have to be careful of what they say because, especially in this digital/information age, every word that comes out of a politicians mouth will come back to them. Sometimes that makes them appear hesitant to say what they really mean.
