you either don't understand the issues or you don't want to, and you would be singing a very different tune if a Democratic administration were conducting itself thusly..
the issue is adhering to the Constitution - there is no pursuit of terrorists that could not be accomplished within the framework of the existing pre-9/11 legal structure. the administration makes lots of noise about strict Consitutional constructionists, but then applies that doctrine very selectively.
the "Dems are soft on terrorists" mantra is how Bush apologists like yourself compensate for their eagerness to trade in their civil liberties for an illusion of security. why are righties such pussies?
