Letter To The Editor of the Boston Globe
Jan. 24th, 2006 06:35 pmSubject: Spy-In-Chief - No One Is Above The Law
What could possibly justify breaking the very laws that set us apart from our enemies? When our elected officials violate the laws they have sworn to protect, they have abandoned their duty to the people. Even in war time (and I mean a true war, one declared by the U.S. Congress) there are rules of engagement and treaties and conventions to follow.
We are no better than the terrorists we are fighting against if we do not follow the rule of law we set down for ourselves. What are we even fighting for if we can't preserve our freedoms at home?
