smooth .....I dont have the answers either.

But I do have a concern that we are straying too far away from protecting civil liberties in the name of protecting national security.

Congress is not a cure all; but IMO, more comprehensive and accountable checks and balances written into legislation when civil liberties, war powers, and the most basic constitutional rights are at stake is an essential tool to limit the power of the executive.
