Are you claiming that the Bush administration is "disappearing" Americans? And beyond that that it has been done to "many" people? Do you also wear a tinfoil hat so that the government satellites can't read your mind? If you do not think it's clearly unconstitutional then you should demand that it become CLEARLY CONSTITUTIONAL. Generally its best if an action is clearly constitutional. I can agree with you to that extent. If I was president and I thought that a certain action was within my constitutionally granted powers, but I knew that congress wouldn't support me and that many people thought the action was at least constitutionally questionable and perhaps outright unconstitutional, it would take a pretty strong justification for me to act using that power in the potentially unconstitutional way. Of course the president likely thinks he does have such justification. Some people agree with him, some don't. I think a lot are uncertain or conflicted.
