re: #61 _RememberTonyC

if people know how much they have to lose (their citizenship, for instance), they might think long and hard about becoming a terrorist. there was a time that people were AFRAID to break our laws, but now that we have decided we can pick and choose which laws to uphold and which to ignore, the fear of doing wrong has largely faded. This represents a chance to put some actual fear into would be terrorists.

Uh, the people who want to pick and choose which laws to uphold would be those of our elected representatives who would like to pick and choose who gets the protection of the Constitution— and would like to eliminate pesky notions like due process.
