Exactly. While saving lives is a good thing, what it will lead to in the future is quite horrifying.
While I agree with what you're trying to say, there is an unproven assertion in your statement - an implication that this is an "either/or" scenario.
That hasn't been proven, and frankly I don't believe it's true. Intelligence gathering and old-fashioned police work can operate within sane boundaries and still protect us.
Will the occasional attack happen? Yes, unfortunately it will - but, as we've seen, that's true even with these intrusive, unconstitutional secret proceedings running amok.
