Supporters of the Bush administration's position on warrantless 
surveillance are often heard arguing that we must use any means 
necessary to fight terrorism. But "any means necessary" is not the 
guiding principle of a civilized, democratic nation, especially when 
the tools we are implementing are often more distracting than 
effective -- never mind "necessary." When the 9th Circuit rules in 
these two cases, we will find out if we are a nation at risk of 
losing its soul, or one that will be governed by the rule of law, and 
will seek to protect people from arbitrary and harmful government monitoring.
