When the people are not happy with the current situation, paint a worse scenario. Works often enough.

I find this article really interesting because it was reported in "Aljazeera".

Heads-up for terrorists? "The law must be changed to give intelligence agencies the tools needed to prevent attacks on American soil."

"But critics say George Bush is riding rough-shod over civil liberties." I've seen this in other articles ... and as an American, I don't like this ... but I want to be safe.

Where do we draw the line between needs for security and infringing on personal liberties?

I don't like this ... but I want to be safe.

That is a problem and we can empathize and all agree; however, you are buying fear from the guy who isn't selling anything else. As an American, I want to buy hope, whoever is selling.
