When we allow our response to terrorism to alter the very foundation of our system of jurisprudence, then the terrorists win.

Nearly every war the US engages in stretches the limits of the constitution. H*ll Lincoln jailed congressmen who dissented. Roosevelt interned thousands of Japs. The point is the country seems to have recovered from these momentary lapses. Why would anyone consider th is any differently?
