I think that when the investigation is done, President Bush will not be mad as heck.

Just my gut feel. . .

They already did, yesterday. And it didn't take more than 5 posts.

I'd be mad as heck if this guy is a "sleeper". Yes, I know they are VERY carefully screened, but I also want a President Bush who completes his entire 8 years.

I also have NO respect for a Secret Service agent whining about "racial profiling". He should APPLAUD the pilot of that plane.

For instance?

I'm sure there will be some FReepers who have some nasty things to say about the Secret Service agent, and questioning the President's wisdom. The over/under is at 15 posts.

Huh? Is that a secret code?: The over/under is at 15 posts.

As my dear old grandma said, "Better safe than sorry". Sadly, middle eastern looking men are going to be profiled. In these times it is a sensible precaution.

Will GW be mad as heck when he finds out the DOJ is investigating and watching people because of their ethnicity? Oh, wait, he ordered it.

Football style humor .... I think what he meant was it take only 15 posts for someone to bad mouth the Secret Service agent ....or President Bush.

Sadly, middle eastern looking men are going to be profiled. In these times it is a sensible precaution.

If we are really fighting a "war on terror perpetrated by middle eastern men", then a sensible precuation would have been to immediately deport all middle-eastern non-citizens. But, it hasn't happened and wont. No one can answer why known terrorists were allowed in the country in the first place.

If the guy is a Secret Service agent then he's a bona-fide American.

Obviously he passed the mandatory FBI background check, otherwise he wouldn't be guarding the Prez.

If the USSS was satisfied that he wasn't a threat, don't you think that should be good enough for American Airlines? They could easily have verified his identity, and I read yesterday the Secret Service called ahead to announce that he'd be flying.

gee...you sound like a bookie.....

They have minority status, the civil rights commission made sure that they were put in every department in our government.

I personally spoke to a thirty year veteran of the NSA, he told me a lot of people are pissed off because the veterans ar being passed over for top advanced jobs because of the minorities are being promoted over them.

This is happening in every agency of our government.

And you can see the effect by having only one person charged with terrorism.

All these agencies have just about been destroyed.

One thread is here, but it isn't the one I remembered.

For instance?

Article says: "There's an inquiry going on as to specifically what took place," Bush said at his ranch in Crawford, Texas. "But if he was treated that way because of his ethnicity ... that will make me mad as heck."

So, my response:

I think that when the investigation is done, President Bush will not be mad as heck.
Just my gut feel. . .

I mean that I think that the Airline will be vindicated. That’s my gut feel. We’ll see what the investigation reveals.
