"We are concerned and puzzled by this double talk on the part of the United States," Moroccan Justice Minister Mohamed Bouzoubaa said in an interview. "If we do fight terrorism, we are told, 'You went too far.' If we don't, we are told, 'You have not done enough.' "
Where is the proper balance between democracy and security? What is too far?
How about encouraging civil society to take a stand against the terrorists rather than arresting the brother of a friend of a sister of a husband of a son of a cousin who may be linked to terrorism? If you strengthen civil society and give the people more of a voice, aren't they likely to hinder the progress of terrorism and turn in the people who are known to them as practicers of violence?
