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.
