When did we become such wimps? I for one am willing to die for my freedoms, I ready to die anyways, so why the [censored] not.

"The nation's top spy told Congress on Thursday that the public debate over the Bush administration's controversial warrantless wiretapping program would lead to American deaths by revealing sensitive surveillance methods to potential terrorists"

First of all its bull [censored], nobody is going to die from open debate, just like nobody is going to die if Congress debates the War, and nobody is going to die if some crazy guy goes to Ground Zero.

But if someone does die, well that's the price we pay for freedom. Since when did Americans become afraid to die for freedom?

We didn't, we just realized that dying for the government isn't dying for freedom. Usually, it's exactly the opposite.
