Well I know some people on here won't agree with me but what we did to Japanese Immigrants during WWII was plain out wrong. How do you know that the terrorists aren't already citizens? Deporting right away seems to me a little too WWII mentality. Now letting Visa's lapse without renewal? Well that's a different story. Each one can be re-examined and send home the one's we consider a risk.

I'd like you to tell me why he lied.

I can answer that. It was because he was scared. That's no indication of guilt.

That he knew two of the highjackers is no crime. Were they his buddies he hung out with? Was he in on the plot? Or were the highjackers just passing acquaintances?

If the Justice Department really had something on him they would have charged him with something. And no I'm not a bleeding heart liberal or soft on terrorists. If you think I am look up some of my other posts before you answer.

The point is, you don't know why he lied. None of us do. You speculated that he lied because he was scared. Then you gave several other reasons why he might have lied. Why admit one name and not the other?. You don't know. For some reason, you are compelled to choose the "defend liberty at all costs" tack. Well, fine.

I'm saying that if you rush to defend a percieved loss of liberty, before you use your common sense and determine the facts, there will come a time when your "liberties" will be used against you to kill you. Profiling is an example.

Can I be charged with a crime for being publically associated with a "fringe" militia group, having pictures of bombs and books or info about how to make bombs?

Think "hate crimes".

For those specific things only? I don't think so. But, If you were truly doing those specific things, it is highly likely that you will have some material that could be considered by authorities to be hate crime material.

BTW I don't accept the concept of "hate crime". There is no such thing.
