You know, I'm getting tired of this "The Constitution is not a suicide pact" phrase which appears to be the latest feel-good phrase of the week. Or, maybe it's an older one and I just missed it the first time around.
Well, Duhh. Jack Ryan has my permission to be licensed to kill or maim when he's torturing a subject to find out the location of the van containing the nuclear bomb with the red digital counter running backwards to zero. Fine.
But, comeon folks. Either we have evidence or we don't. If we don't have enough to indict or convict (or hell, ARREST) the SMART thing to do would be to let 'ole Dirty B into the country and then follow his ass around while throwing every bit of electronic surveillance we have at him until we do uncover the plot and his co-conspirators.
Idiots.
