Along the same lines, Instapundit gives us a blast from his own past in a prescient "Why do you hate America so much, Glenn?" moment. However, as is often the case with Instapundit he puts a lot of blame on those with "who cried wolf over unimportant issues" rather than the perpetrators of these policies. Perhaps if "anti-idiotarian" civil libertarians would spend more time discussing what they perceive as "true" concerns and advocating their positions rather than sniping at those concerned with what they consider to be less important issues (and, conditions at Guantanamo were not an irrelevant issue, even if ex-post some of those concerns were ameliorated) we could stop this takeover of the judicial system by the executive branch. Think that's alarmist? Go read who the Patriot Act (shiver) classifies as a terrorist.
