Some centrist Democrats say attacks by their party leaders on the Bush administration's eavesdropping on suspected terrorist conversations will further weaken the party's credibility on national security. That concern arises from recent moves by liberal Democrats to block the extension of parts of the USA Patriot Act in the Senate and denunciations of President Bush amid concerns that these initiatives could violate the civil liberties of innocent Americans. "I think when you suggest that civil liberties are just as much at risk today as the country is from terrorism, you've gone too far if you leave that impression. I don't believe that's true," said Michael O'Hanlon, a national-security analyst at the Brookings Institution who advises Democrats on defense issues. "I get nervous when I see the Democrats playing this [civil liberties] issue out too far. They had better be careful about the politics of it," said Mr. O'Hanlon, who says the Patriot Act is "good legislation."

Some Democrats "get it". Let's just hope the New York Times and their hate-spewing, get-Bush-at-any-cost brethren who populate the base of the Democrat Party don't listen to the "centrists".

Cheerio,

Bingo. We have seen terrorists attacks in the US, we haven't even seen one abuse of civil liberties.

...will further weaken the party's credibility on national security.

I got good news for them. Once it hits zero it can no longer weaken.
