That's a broad and loaded question and no matter how one answers someone can point and say "see he"s easy on terrorists........ or ..... "see he puts catching terrorists above our civil rights."
It's a little bit of both, depending on the strength of the organization and where we are with the "war" on them.
We must protect ourselves from enemies foreign and domestic but we cannot sacrifice all that we believe in to do so. If we choose to go that route then the enemy has won far more than we ever will.
Does this answer give any legitimacy to the illegal actions and fear mongering this administration has done?
Absolutely not. We must find ways to battle without sacrificing the rights and way of life the enemy seems determined to destroy.
There were ways to legally perform these wiretaps and the President refused to adhere to them. Why?
