How Liberals Fight Terror

Even after the recent foiled London Bomb Plot which could have killed thousands of Americans, the events in Lebanon, and the upcoming 5th anniversary of September 11, Liberals assert themselves as obstacles to fighting the Global War on Terror:

Judge Rules Terrorist Surveillance Program Unconstitutional

A federal judge ruled Thursday that the government's warrantless wiretapping program is unconstitutional and ordered an immediate halt to it.
U.S. District Judge
Anna Diggs Taylor in Detroit became the first judge to strike down the National Security Agency's program, which she says violates the rights to free speech and privacy as well as the separation of powers enshrined in the Constitution.
"Plaintiffs have prevailed, and the public interest is clear, in this matter. It is the upholding of our Constitution," Taylor wrote in her 43-page opinion.

The
American Civil Liberties Union filed the lawsuit on behalf of journalists, scholars and lawyers who say the program has made it difficult for them to do their jobs. They believe many of their overseas contacts are likely targets of the program, which involves secretly listening to conversations between people in the U.S. and people in other countries.

Liberals fight the Bush administration harder than the real threat to our freedom from Islamic Fascism.
