Here's an interesting read from a historical perspective.. Some background from his perspective of then and now.

Column: Is the "War on Terrorism" just another "Quasi War"?

Wilson pushed thru the Epsionage Act in 1917 and then the Sedition Act in 1918.

Hmm, that was an interesting comparison, the author's obvious leftist bent notwithstanding. Except to say that unlike the Quasi-War, the stakes are much higher in this war, and it could wind up being anything but "quasi" for us if we don't go about it with clear heads.
