I think alansmithee is right when he said, "Anything that reduces the rights of people leads towards safety for all." That can be considered an accurate statement.
However, I don't agree with the idea; that overall safety is more important then individual rights.
About the topic of the thread: were these judges actually appointed by Bush?
There seems to be a few people complaining about him in regards to this, and I'm not sure how he fits in, other then it could increase his power to incarcirate US citizens suspected of terrorist activities (which isn't something I'm arguing here).
