ALBANY, N.Y. -- One third of New Yorkers favor establishing internment camps for "individuals who authorities identify as being sympathetic to terrorist causes," according to a poll from the Siena College Research Institute.
Fifty percent of those surveyed for the statewide poll said they were opposed to that idea while 15 percent had no opinion.

The liberals in NYC are as bad as those in Cal or Mass;
always ready to give away rights in the name of security.
They end up with little, if any, of either.

OH MAN. Think of the mess THIS would make of things--an interment camp big enough to put all our media in!!!! Where would we put them all? New Mexico? We could relocate Albuquerque I guess....

Say what? Seems that the percentages are somehow misleading, as 50% of the New Yorkers are not even US citizens.

Well- since our PC culture capitualted to the Japanese who were put in camps despite massive evidence (utterly ignored by our Leftie press cultural litteratti) that there was a strong fifth column of Japanese traitors in our midst and gave these people "reparations" on the federal level- it is hard to make the argument that Arabs and Islamic people should be suspect. Thus we have the absurdity of Sussy Lipstick from Arkansas Tyrone blackguy from new york being treated the same as airports as some swarthy Middle East guy. It ain't black guys from brooklyn or white girls from Texas who hijack planes. Racial profiling is not "racist"- it is good sense. There is no sense in holding up planes that have no Arab passengers or sensible look alikes. But - in the name of "fairness" everyone must be treated as if they are a potential fruitcake. Another sign of our collapse.

Ask the visitors to leave but, leave the citizens alone, is my view.

It would be much cheaper to give them each a tiny parachute and drop them over Afghanistan!

I find it 'startling' that Douglas Lonnstrom even included the question in his poll.

Let the games begin!
We'll have a "Hollywood leftys" camp; Former Clinton Administration officials (yes, Hildabeast counts) at another; A Ron Kuby like-minded attorney clones camp -- yes, this could be fun!

I would suggest that we scrutinize the visitors, and then decide whether they should leave. On the news tonight, there was a report about 2 mid-easterners detained on a US train, both with box-cutters. One was released (not sure about the other), due to not enough evidence to hold. Does he fit the profile of a terrorist? Why not err on the side of saftey, and send him home? He's been our guest. We can decide when the party's over.

Can someone on a train force it to derail? Do they carry passengers and hazardous on the same trains? My hunch based on physics and common sense is that the answers are NO and NO.

Remember, it's as true now as it was then.
"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human liberty; it is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves." -- William Pitt
"Perhaps it is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad." ~ James Madison, 1798
