"we are not at war. War is declared by Congress not the White House."

Yeah, just keep repeating this over and over. Maybe you will be able to reverse the (almost unanimous) Authorization for Use of Military Force by the Congress. Hate to bust your bubble, friend, but we are most definitely at war.

I mean that in a legal sense. All of the cases sighted by this administration of legal precedent for denying an American citizen his Constitutional right to due process was during a "legally declared" war... not some war on drugs type declaration from the White House. I'm not against going after the terrorist with everything in our arsenal but we don't have to trash our freedoms in the process. I believe we can pursue these bastards to the end of the earth and preserve liberty at the same time.

Well, a joint resolution of Congress authorized this war. Whether you and Hillary agree with it or not, it is the law of the land. And, in the meantime, President Bush is doing a helluva job conducting the war to the satisfaction of the American people.
