Here’s a couple good ones in the New York Times:

The battle over protecting classified information has been fought throughout our history, most notably in New York Times v. United States, the Pentagon Papers case.

Concurring with the Supreme Court's majority opinion in that case, Justice Potter Stewart wrote, "In the absence of the governmental checks and balances present in other areas of our national life, the only effective restraint upon executive policy and power in the areas of national defense and international affairs may lie in an enlightened citizenry — in an informed and critical public opinion which alone can here protect the values of democratic government."

That sounds like a battle worth fighting.


And this:

You're either with us or against us. You either fight terrorism or follow the law. You either trust us or the terrorists. You either support the war or the insurgents. You either support your country or you don't.

To defend freedom, you must relinquish it. To have peace, you must have war. To end terror, you must inflict it. To feel safe, you must blindly trust.

How many more of these false choices will "we the people" accept?



Yes, how much longer will this go on?
