Well, at least you're in good company. Even the Supreme Court was willing to suspend the very principles we were fighting to defend in the Japanese internment camp cases.

With the War on Terror, we suspend those very principles in all sorts of cases, even here in the United States. Just ask Mr. Padilla -- oops, that's right, we can't talk to him.
