My thoughts exactly, Toni. If we're the free, pluralist society we claim to be; then it is our duty to do all we can to protect both sets of "rights".

We must do all we can to protect ourselves from these maniacs. But as soon as we begin to substantially change our legal and civil framework / rules in order to accommodate or react to these people, then we have to acknowledge that they are succeeding in their aims (to "destroy our freedoms" as Dubya would put it) and we are losing in ours (protecting the rights of innocent people to walk around unmolested *includes* the rights of Brazillian electricians... an example that demonstrates we've already changed our behaviour a bit to mirror how the the terrorists do things).

In my honest opinion - and I understand that this may sound controversial - I would rather live in a society under periodic attack from suicide bombers, than one that has successfully eliminated their threat by removing the rights of everyone.
