I read a CNN poll today.
One of the questions was...
Question: Do you think the Bush administration has gone too far, has been about right or has not gone far enough in restricting people's civil liberties to fight terrorism?
Twenty-five percent said they hadn't gone far enough.
Twenty-five percent of respondents think that restricting citizen's civil liberties is a valid tactic in the war on terror.
Twenty-five percent have lost sight of what made the United States of America the United States of America.
Granted, the poll was unscientific, and the question was a dumb one, but how can anybody answer that way, even in a knee-jerk manner?
