I even agree with Paul. This is one of them.

In creating policy, the decision must be made if the potential good outweighs the potential bad. To paraphrase Paul "Bear" Bryant (or was it Vince Lombardi?), Destroying basic civil liberties is more bad then stopping terrorists is good.*

No, the simple act of putting this information into another database is not inherently bad. But the potential for misuse is astounding. History has taught us that this much information in the hands of government will be misused. It is the natural order of things. I thought we on the right understood that. Perhaps we're so used to protecting this administration and our beliefs from idiotic charges from the left that when there is something we should disagree with we lose sight. I can't reconcile how anyone who claims to be a supporter of smaller goverment supports this program.

The goals of this program are laudable. As are most roads to Hell. But this program is not a solution to the terrorism problem, it is only the creation of many future problems and it should be eliminated.

And I have been waiting for someone on the Right to raise this issue... I just didnt't expect it would be him...
