What are the arguments against repealing the 9-11 era security laws ? [View all]

Of course, I'm referring to the PATRIOT act, the Military Commissions Act and others.

I don't debate conservatives, so I'm not familiar with all their arguments. I'd REALLY like to hear from people familiar with the military and security communities.
