Without addressing whether the particular program is good or bad (tip to Instapundit), it does illustrate what I've been preaching for years: if you are concerned with our civil liberties, you should want America to be on offense to actually win the Long War on Islamo-fascist terrorism rather than sit on defense, ratcheting up our defenses at home each time the enemy penetrates our defenses or reveals a hole in them.
Unless you wish to simply surrender to the jihadis and give in to their every whim about what we can say, do, think, or even where we can go, that fading "No Endless War" bumper sticker you sport should mean "victory."
