Once we have defeated the enemy, this will no longer be neccesary and I will expect rights to be returned.

Once we've given up our basic rights, why bother "defeating the enemy"? What do we have to fight for?

And, general philosophical statements aside, the "war on terror" is an inherently endless and futile proposition. We will never win, we will always be in a state of emergency, and we will never get our rights back (unless someone stops this nonsense). Basically, this is like declaring a war on crime, throwing miranda and habeus corpus out the window, and then assuring the citizens that once the war on crime has been won, they'll get these rights back.
