My big problem with the "wartime" justification is that I don't really see a correlation between the war in Iraq (which isn't about terrorism no matter how you slice it) and the need for the executive branch to invade Americans' privacy. I have a feeling that if the prez could justify the "war on drugs" or the "war on child porn" as a legit "war", he would take advantage that way as well. The next thing you know, they'd be subpoenaing search engines for IP addresses.
