More rights which we then get to suspend during the *next* war, so we're a "better country" only between wars, right? Plus which, the additional rights that actually *pertain* to the conduct of war never have to be invoked at all: we can institute as many of them as we want without worrying about their being too restrictive, because they'll just be suspended once we're in a situation to which they're designed to apply. Good thinking, MDixon.
