And Newt’s response to suspend in advance the rights of folks like McVeigh who might blow up buildings? If so, we’ll just have to disagree.
The question is, at what point did McVeigh cross the line?
No, you don't suspect him just because he rented a Ryder truck.
Yes, you do get a little suspicious if he orders pounds of manure and ammonia.
You might start looking closer if he begins associating with others who exhibit similar behaviors.
All of these actions, so far, preserve the rights of McVeigh. At some point, an observant policeman might suggest getting a warrant to tap his phones.
