#3  Well no, I wouldn't do either.


Counter-terrorism and democracy itself are both like sausage-making: you don't want to look too closely, particularly if you're squeamish. We do not need additional constitutional protection: such protection could surely be abused. What we need are two political parties that understand what has to be done, and do it, making sure that we don't overboard. Sadly, we have had but one such party.



KSM and the other mooks don't yet deserve a bullet behind the ear: they have far too much intel still in their heads.

#1  Since some of these practices are at least plausibly illegal or even un-Consitutional, and since they are clearly important if not vital to the survival of the Nation, I contend the proper 'answer' is an appropriate Constitutional amendment and accompanying legislation. Sadly, won't even be considered.
