There is no conundrum. I want the government to go after murderers, too. And rapists. But we don't have any problem doing so within the confines of Constitutional liberty.

Many have claimed that the 'terrorists want to destroy our freedoms.' Doing it for them is not a sound strategy for victory.

Just a query then: Is intercepting the US end of an international phone call between suspected terrorists a problem for you? If so, it would seem on it's face that you want to tie the hands of the good guys (America), while we are at war with a determined enemy, a brutal enemy that targets civilians, in an unconventional war. Did I mischaracterise the issue?
