But Nadine....look at this another way....You said:

The president, and those who defend his decision on the tribunals, seem to forget that the point of America's constitutional guarantees of civil rights is not to make life easy for criminals. It is to ensure that innocent people are not abused, imprisoned, even executed. When fear is rampant, when knowledge is scarce, those rights are more essential, not less.

If President Bush and his Administration DO NOT do everything possible to protect American citizens from terrorists (different than criminals).... and DO insure TO THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITY that American citizens are NOT ABUSED, IMPRISONED, EVEN EXECUTED (as in the WTC and Pentagon disasters)....then are they doing their job??????

We seem to be so busy making sure that the murders rights are insured....we are forgetting about the RIGHTS of American citizens not to be ABUSED, IMPRISONED, EVEN EXECUTED by foreign OR domestic extremist groups.....

And I believe our Constitution is clear on that, and therefore so should be our foreign affairs policies as clear.
