Let's just throw in a huge debate on the Patriot Act because you know that's where this is going. In times of war it is necessary for the government to take certain precautions to keep our country secure from terrorist/enemy attacks and to prevent our enemies from receiving any crucial intelligence. These measures have been taken in almost every war we've ever fought in (Remember the "Loose lips sink ships" posters of WWII?). However, these measures may also be considered as extreme and unnecessary in some cases, such as the Japanese internment camps of WWII and Lincoln's suspension of some civil liberties during the War Between the States.
