You ARE concerned with encroachments on liberty and willing to defend the Constitutional processes, aren't you? You are NOT willing to give up freedoms for security, are you?

I don;t think we have much choice, Some in here act like the Internment camps are still full. I don't like the policies of the DOT, Ithink they are misguided and border on lunacy when Mineta refuses to profile, but doesn't mind having the elderly strip searched. It really doesn;t matter as we have lost so many freedoms irregardless . It is a combination of technology, lack of ethics by our leaders and a rampant desire to outdo the Romans and their inevitable demise. Would that we could end this terrorism thing but then we would need to end hatred of others for whatever reasons, be it religious, social, or ..

It's just the realist in me that things are clicking right along on an agenda of none of our makings. We squabble in here over details ... That's my opinion.

The terrorists are not deterred by details, they are determined and prepared to sacrifice more then liberties, they give their lives willingly, all to fight the Great Satan. Declarations of War don't do diddly to deter that type of threat.
