Thanks for the reply, platypus. That's a very noble example.
The thrust of my post was meant to be that at what point is it justifiable for people to relinquish liberties for stronger government protection capabilities which could possibly be used for ill. I believe evil power mongering men will always exist, and they will be attracted to positions where they can most greatly abuse power, and the fact is our government has positions which weild this kind of power.
That Karl Rove, Bush, etc, are people like this is in no way the focus or cornerstone of my argument--just a passing opinion which I specifically aknowledge as being only that--an opinion. If people focus on THAT sentance rather than the main topic of my post I'm going to be very disappointed.
