Hmmm... Daesh is clearly an evil organization that needs to be eradicated. At the same time, most of us side with Snowden vs the NSA because we believe the freedom of citizens at large is crucial, and that the government cannot be trusted to erode the rights of only the wicked. The 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with hunting rights - it's supposed to empower citizens to resist the unjust use of force, either by an invading army or by a corrupt domestic military. In the same way, the 1st Amendment only has value when it protects all speech, not just politically popular speech. Disrupting Daesh recruitment by whatever means necessary feels correct, but I can't shake a "first they came for the Socialists..." feeling about shutting down allegedly pro-terror publications.
