Reply #17: Bin Laden won . . .

He must be laughing himself silly from his watery grave. He has completely destroyed the American way of life and we don't even realize that we have given into the constant state of fear the terrible events of 9/11 have ushered in.

I'm not saying that better cooperation between the various agencies, interoperability of systems, etc. aren't a prudent thing to do. But the unconstitutional power grab of warrant less wiretaps, indeterminate detention without charge, no speedy trial, etc. must go.

If we don't rid ourselves of this stain upon our democracy we deserve to go to the dustbin of history.
