Many thoughts on this from many people but I'll try to make the points brief and well explained.

The War on Terror, maybe people don't really understand what this is yet. It's not even about 9/11 anymore although that certainly was the proverbial straw. There is a growing movement out there (mainly Al Qeada) with charismatic leaders, like Bin Laden, who are distorting and perverting the peaceful teachings of Islam to turn America into the great satan. It's their way of trying to place the blame on us for the oppression they are under instead of looking at the truth of the mullah's and supposed religious leaders thirst for power and control. These misguided and evil people want us dead, any way they can possibly attain that goal is irrelevant to them. The War on Terror is more of a war on a false ideal that the only way we can truly defeat it is to show these people what freedom is all about.

Gitmo, Personally I think its being abused through the legal, and not so legal, findings and arguments, but I think that its much better to have potential homicide bombers behind those prison walls than out shooting at our troops or detonating bombs in our cities. Permanent detention shouldn't even be an issue though and it's a serious breach in trust, judgement, and a serious confidence breaker in the government.

The US Constitution, this is an extremely depressing revelation for me to see that so many people are now using the constitution to restrict and limit rights instead of using it to protect them. What the hell is wrong with our education system?
