YOU WIN SOME, YOU LOSE SOME...YOU DIE SOME
After all, if it’s “unreasonable†to listen in on phone conversations without a warrant when one end of the conversation is terrorist-connected, then surely in is unreasonable to search me, who just wants to make it back to the east coast to visit my family.
Problem is, kids, FISA, which is virtually never turned down, and which warrants can be gotten AFTER the actual search/eavesdrop, etc., demand a paper trail. And a secret one at that.
Absent a paper trail, we have exactly no idea whether the Gov't is telling the truth about whom they are eavesdropping on. And the English arrest, which is starting to look like that crucial arrest in Miami a while back is seriousness, was all handled with, you know, warrants. Almost as if they had a constitution.

ALL THAT'S MISSING ARE THE POM-POMS
As usual, if one criticises Israel, one is anti-semetic.
If one criticises the Pope, is one anti-Catholic? Maybe, maybe not.
If one criticises Bres. Bush, is one anti-Baptist?
Logic is sadly absent, when no criticism is allowed.

ENJOYING THE ACADEMIC FREEDOM TO BE AN IDIOT
There seems to be a connection between Barrett's & Shockley's opinions and the desire of some fundamentalists wanting public school districts to include ID & young earth pseudo-science as realistic theories.

ESCAPING THE LEGAL AND MORAL QUAGMIRE OF GUANTANAMO
“I’m skeptical that the threat of Islamic terrorism can be properly categorized as a war but if it is, one of the big battles being fought is for the integrity of the American system, and the battle is internal, not external…â€
Respectfully, I think you miss Digby's point. Regardless of how one defines war, the second half of that sentence almost exactly makes your point, that as you said here: "This won’t happen as long as some of our policies reveal us to be hypocrites and worse,".
