FYI.

Cool-headed Prez weighs in. Time for hot headed Freepers to bow out?

Time for hot headed Freepers to bow out?

So you'll be bowing out?

As far as the getting to the truth of the matter -- which is what most of us have been concerned with, here is a remark from Bush, "I wasn't there, so it's hard for me to comment on something which I did not see."

Hopefully you aren't commiting the non-sequitur that since President Bush generally supports an employee that somehow it makes the agent's "story" credible?

These are old quotes from Bush within a day or two of the incident. I haven't heard anything new from Bush since. This agent should know better than anyone how important "security" is and absolutely should understandthe Captain's predicament. If a Secret Service agent is afraid to assess risk by looking at a person ("profiling") than I do NOT want him to be guarding our President.
