Like I say "Profiling -- It's A White Guy Thing. Only."

Profiling has nothing to do with this. This case is much too complex and high profile for that. Ashcroft is overseeing this one and he certainly has no qualms about detaining or holding suspect middle eastern men.

I hope you are right.
And I'm not knocking Ashcroft...even as popular as it seems to get in this forum on occassion.

What I'm worried about are FBI/DOJ hold-overs from The Dark (Clinton) Years.
I'm afraid those sorts may (even subconsciously) have latched onto the profiling
done for them by Professor Rosenberg...as detailed from the excerpt from a publication
by the UCLA School of Epidemiology.
The last sentence of the excerpt makes it sound like somebody in the guvmint
has latched onto a profiling approach...

Separately, a private expert in biological weapons, Barbara Hatch Rosenberg,
has recently published a paper contending that a government insider,
or someone in contact with an insider, is behind the attacks.
Though not an expert on criminal profiling, Dr. Rosenberg, a molecular
biologist at the State University of New York, has testified on biological
weapons before Congress, advised Bill Clinton when he was president and made
addresses to international arms control meetings, including one a few days ago in Geneva.
Law enforcement officials said Dr. Rosenberg's assertion might turn out to be
well founded, though they emphasized that the investigation was still
broadly based. One official close to the federal investigation called the
Rosenberg theory "the most likely hypothesis."
