The President and the security agencies do not have unfettered power to act as they see fit in a security-threat situation.

This post is remarkably well said.

"You can rebuild buildings and live with damage. You can't resurrect a mortally wounded democracy as easily."

You conveniently ignore the 3000 people who perished in those buildings and that is a very telling omission on your part. It breaks my heart to hear someone of apparent intelligence ignore the casualties of war in such a callous way.
You also ignore that what bush did as i understand it is similar to things FDR and HST did in WW2. I said earlier that there must be overight and controls and if there are excesses they need to be immediately corrected.

I know your partisanship won't let you accept that idea so let's leave it at that.
