   No, my take is that just about all of the laws passed in the hysteria   
   about terrorism, especially those that restrict constitutional rights,   
   are wrong, cowardly and un-American. This is an example of how we gave   
   up freedom for almost-certainly-illusory security.   
      
   Whether it's a Democratic or a Republican administration doing it, I   
   think it's wrong. Period.
