New Yorkers like myself would feel better about the police department's efforts to protect the city if they infiltrated Al-Qaeda. Your flawed logic proves that your particular political biases ill equips your party for the job of doing what needs to be done to fight the war on terror. Citing Vietnam era examples exposes your antiquated mode of thinking about these matters, showing that the Right Wing insists on fighting a 21st Century problem with 20th Century ideas.The funniest part of this Editorial is when you mention the " convicted terrorist" ( what terrorist act was he convicted of ?)Richard Piciarello. How is knowing that a "convicted terrorist" walked the streets of NY during the convention and didn't get arrested supposed to make New Yorkers feel better? Do our police need to be hamstrung by these guidelines? If these guidelines are designed to protect AMERICANS from a perpetual Police State in the name of the " War on Terrorism" then absoutely. Of course,you might not be able to comprehend the nuances of the bigger issue at hand. You manage to say as much when you write "The last thing we need is to tie the hands of the police in apprehending these spies and agents, uncovering their plans, and bringing them to justice." Exactly when did Americans protesting become enemy agents? The Right CANNOT be trusted with protecting the Homeland.
