Yeah, September the 11th. Where were you?
Yes, your patriotism. I remember your stupid statement from another threat where you expressed your anti-americanism and expressed your wish for Bush amd this nation to be defeated.
Your wish fulfilled?
This is news?
Actually, you are not even required to be loyal to that great document. But if that's what you like, have at it.
Personally, I want my government to protect my kids from scumbag terrorists. The terrorists and their supporters (many Moslems here in the US cheered the acts of terror) are the ones who created the "profile". I say round them up, sit them in hard wooden chairs under bright, hot lamps, deprive them of sleep, and make them squeal like stuck pigs.
Unless I missed something, police are allowed to search for information, concerning a crime. If the crime involved a geographic location, the search would be thusly focused. Same would go for an ethnic group.
The ACLU should be very careful, if they are advising people to not cooperate with a duly authroized criminal investigation. That is bad legal advice.
Many folks are missing historical precedents for extraordinary methods, in wartime. I don't believe that immigramts, here at our temporary pleasure, should be permitted to evade the investigation. The profiling issue is bunk. LE uses it justifiably, every day.
It would most surely be valid, if it was reasonably believed that group could assist in an investigation. That would hold up in court, too.
Try a more realistic example. Say a church congregation was harboring a child molester, by their silence. It would be valid to interview every member of the congregation.
To say nothing about the fact the Muslim murderers violated civilized behavior, which they should be morally outraged by, regardless of their own religion, or nationality. The fact they are more concerned about profiling, tells me they are NOT outraged; that they prfer to hide out in silence; and I conclude they SUPPORT the attack, to a degree.
I believe that is so, because almost to a man, they veer off into Palestine injustice at every chance. I hope that of the 5,000 we find a few terrorists, and also find about 2,000 visa violators, and deport them.
Only by acting with firm purpose, will we start on a sane, self-serving and survival path. To do otherwise is self-destructive. The ACLU would have us self-destruct.
This is a global reaction to an atrocity, not some local broken treaty skirmish.
Apparently it was decided those 2 Arabs who were very suspicious were not involved in that, the WHITE MAN who apparently acted alone has been executed. We know the Jihad is a very large and very coordinated effort, someone is paying a lot of money for those apartments and flight school tuition and all the rest.
It's proof of the author's bias that s/he refuses to identify these 'activists'. We know, of course, that it's they're as far away as the hand puppet on the author's non-writing hand.
Yes a belief in the Koran alone is enough to raise some serious suspicions about their purpose in being in the United States. If they believe in the Koran, they do not believe in the separation of Church and State, they do not believe in living with infidels for long which means they can live with them to convert them or take them over but never to tolerate them. They believe in eventual world-wide Islamic rule.
Di they round up all white men. That's a bit of news I missed.
I agree with you. In fact, the FBI paid me a visit in 1970 because I was an anti-war protestor and was on a fund-raiser in Eugene, Oregon, when someone blew up the ROTC building at the college. Since we were four strangers from Seattle associated with a protest group, all of us and our families got a visit.
I'm white and my family has been here since 1710 and fought in the American Revolution, so I think it is really ridiculous for noncitizens to whine. We just accepted it as part of American life; if you belong to a suspicious group, you might be investigated. This was true 30 plus years ago, obviously.
I don't think Attorney General Ashcroft has used RICO against prolife protesters, yet. Janet Reno did, however, and too many of the lower level bureaucrats and local law enforcment agents may still be threatening and arresting with this in mind. I heard they're still arresting doctors under threat of these laws.
Have you heard of a case that I missed?
