So,
We overcome adversaries by becoming just like them, yes?
And you didn't reply to Peter, you replied to me. And my post was about us abandoning Due Process rights FOR OUR OWN, thankyouverymuch.
That said, I still don't see how you can posit that we can possibly overcome terrorism by becoming terrorists ourselves. Not all they're bitching about is without cause.

The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism.
