Excellent explanation of the current divide between those of us who want to follow due process and those that don’t. If there’s a left/right, liberal/conservative, or whatever debate on terrorism, it’s really between those who trust everything the government says and those who treat it all with skepticism. Ironically, I don’t believe this follows any traditional left/right divide, but the fact that so many of the President’s supporters choose to fall in line with the Administration’s statements that they take the authoritarian position simply out of partisanship. very dangerous.

Of course, this is why the political compass makes sense. We’ve been taken over by authoritarian right wing folks, pretty much the complete opposite of a libertarian left like me.
