I think the public out cry of loss of civil liberties in this instance verse the relative lack thereof regarding the Executive creating the authority to name US citizens for extra judicial targeted drone strikes is very telling. It is not that people fear, or care more about the governmental power to intercept our electronic communications than the reality that citizenry might be killed without right to trial - they feel the loss of civil liberty in one instance is more likely to affect them personally, that is why it is important to remember "injustice anywhere is threat to justice everywhere." - MLK Jr.
