I don't think anyone has said Bush is using this for nefarious purposes. Fighting terrorism is laudable, everyone agrees, and that's it's purpose.
But there are plenty of crime-fighting programs that have a laudable purpose but an unconstitutional implementation. Look no further than any proposal to arrest all blacks because the crime rate is higher. It's not nefarious in purpose, is it? It's just trying to reduce crime.
