If We Do This to American Citizens . . .?

I always hear the argument that we have to engage in unlawful behavior to protect fellow Americans from the terrorists. Well, the defendant in this case, with the secret legal theory, is a U.S. Citizen, born in the USA, who was allegedly terrorized by our allies, the Saudis, perhaps at our government’s behest. My argument is that when our government acts above the law and our fellow Americans allow it, the terrorists have won.
