"I think 3000 people is not a reason to give up my civil liberties. My father fought in the Pacific, partly to protect "our way of life"- and our way of life includes the freedom not to be spied on as if we were citizens of Soviet Russia."

Ask your dad about atrocities in WW2 committed by american soldiers. Maybe he will be honest with you because in war bad behaviour goes both ways. I will not condemn your dad if he did something wrong or watched as other did. Would you put your own dad in jail if he did any of the above?
I like you E but you are hopelessly naive. After this post i am out of here. View from the Center indeed. A moderator who thinks 3000 deaths are meaningless and who doesnt have the balls to discuss this absurd remark.
I will defend my grandkids until my death. You can sit and watch yours be thrown from buildings while reading trite out of context quotes from Ben Franklin or lecturing others on the meaning of freedom. There is no freedom without security and although overdone security may pose a proble. silliness like yours will be disastrous.
