And completely false. It's tantamount to "If you aren't a criminal, then
why are you worried about me searching your basement." The authors of the
Constitution knew that, at some point, some demagog would use this argument
to violate somebody's rights, so they put it in the constitution that,
whether you're a criminal/terrorist or not, you don't have to worry about
somebody invading your house to have a look around, just because they don't
like you.

You make a distinction between "important" freedoms and whatever's
left over, which must be the "non-important freedoms."

Which ones would those be?

And on interstate calls anywhere in the US, at least one party must be aware
of the recording. I don't believe any state has less restrictive laws for
intrastate calls.

Well, ya see, here's the rub. It is a war, when it suits Bush's purposes
(to whip people into a fear-induced frenzy), but it isn't a war when that
suits Bush's purposes (to get around the rules of war established in the
past 50 years, to prevent a demagog like Hitler from ever again doing
whatever the hell he wants.

When you say "you" - who do you mean?

Is this a case of you typing what the voices in your head are saying without
any processing by what remains of your brain?
