This post by Zack Exley articulates exactly what is wrong with the overuse of the "we're in a war" excuse constantly used by the Bush administration. Al Qaeda can't hurt us in any meaningful way. They are not the USSR. They are not Nazi Germany, or Imperial Japan. They're not even Canada. And yet, we have allowed our government to do things we never allowed during World War II and the Cold War. There's something very wrong with that, and I'm glad to see someone with at least a little influence saying the right things.
