AND that is the crux of it really, it's a moral choice.
Do you let people die, or risk people dying for the comfort of someone you have a pretty good clue is a terrorist.
For me, the answer is, no, you save lives and prevent the terrorist from carrying out his attack.
Would I prefer we never have to use such, CERTAINLY I do. However, they force it on us, not the other way around.
Obviously, I would frame the issue differently, but yeah, it's a moral choice. I see nothing to gain from condemning people who where trying to do what they felt is right, even though I am disappointed that they chose to do what they did.
I also think that this debate is good for the country in the long run. We need to decide as a nation what is and is not acceptable, and make our laws as clear as possible in that regard.
