Now that you've have landed solidly into the position of using this particular
emotional appeal to justify "use [of] every measure at our disposal", please
forgive me for feeling the need to remind you that the Constitution and its
amendments actually require balancing these possibilities against minor matters
such as violation of civil rights.
We often have measures at our disposal which would produce such violations and,
therefore, are not permitted to use them.
