A run through some discussions at Tech Review landed me at Foreign Policy
This little gem seems to nicely sum up my reservations about the "War on Terror"; many of the same issues surround the "War on Drugs" though the link is not made in the article.

Enemy or criminal? The answer to that question raises issues for "justified" surveillance and the whole boundary question.
Who precisely are the subjects of this war? Everyone guilty til proven innocent? Everyone an enemy til shown otherwise?
Can such an ill-defined "War" actually ever end?
These are all intensely political issues. Where is the debate?
