    Exactly, and damn well said.  Take a look at what Hitler did before he took
    over Nazi Germany.  He eroded their rights and civil liberties under the
    guise of National Defense.  History always repeats itself somewhere, and it
    has usually learned a lesson or two along the way.

    Doesn't anyone see the irony of even being able to have this deabte? We have
    freedom of speech. If we didn't we could not even have this discussion.
    That's what makes the country great. Each of us is entitled to our opinion.
    In Oregon there is also the issue of a statute that indicates that no person
    can be questioned unless they are suspected of a crime. 
    
    Civil liberties are never taken away in big pieces, thgey are eroded. as
    Thomas Jefferson said "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." He was
    talking about the citizenry watching out for what the government is doing.  
    
    The fascists in the 30's took away rights slowly and piece by piece. Look
    what happened  there.  I applaud any decision that upholds individual
    rights. I am deeply troubled about the 9/11 attacks and the loss of life,
    but that is, in my own personal opinion, absolutely no reason to take away
    anyone's rights.
    
    Thanks for listening.

    Yeah. Way to go, Chief. I'm sure the families who lost loved ones on 9-11
    will enthusiastically support your politically correct decision. And, if,
    and when one or more of the 200 non-citizens does something to contribute to
    more deaths from another terrorist activity, they'll fully understand your
    decision not to ask questions because it was the politically correct thing
    to do. Isn't America great!
