Stopping terrorists and other criminals, always requires some secrecy.
BUT the very foundation of our Country and it's legal system is the transparency of it's procedures, limitations and scope. This is clearly a move away from that. I see it as a very bad move. It's a violation of everything America has stood for, fought for, bragged of and cherished.
I don't know whose worse, those that do it or those that permit it.
Extrordinary times call for extrordinary measures? Bullshit, that means the terrorists have succeeded in destroying our very foundation.......or the Bush Babies have.
