"As for the WOT, if it has no conceivable end, then it's a bizarre Orwellian construct that deserves critical scrutiny before it becomes an unquestioned fixture in our society. Like E said, questioning it does not equate with wanting to undermine it." I'll give more of an answer in a post I'll use to reply to Shiloh in a few minutes. I don't mind anyone "questioning" anything; that's not a problem. What IS a problem is active undermining of anti-terror efforts. Besides throwing rocks at the current efforts to stop terrorism, what alternatives does the NYT offer? How would they conduct those efforts? Beats me -- all I hear is criticism, not constructive offers. Worse, they intentionally undermine the current efforts by exposing means and methods of intelligence gathering.
