6. "We can protect America while preserving our liberties.... It's...

... not a matter of either/or."

Democratic leaders, feel free to use that in "framing" the issue.

...framing the debate at a time when the country is torn between two very strong pulls: its historic aversion to governmental intrusion and its recently born fear of a terrorist attacks at home...

Seriously, is that so hard? We can preserve 200-plus years of constitutional requirements for judicial oversight ... and still go after the bad guys.

It's NOT either/or.

:grr:
