My faith level is about zero in regards to the FBI. They are too busy defending themselves against liberals shoving a microphone in their faces than they are about any true security.
Perhaps tomorrow we'll read about another New Zealander getting a full cavity search at the local airport.

Terrorists hold how-to-demolish an aircraft session, and the best the FBI can come up with a 'sensitivity training' classes designed not to offend the likes of CAIR.
Guess what folks, these people have no plan to keep you safe.

Actually, I can see a new FBI priority developing. Maybe they'll investigate people like myself who criticize these methods. Perhaps we'll become 'extremists' who need to be looked at.

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn if Muslims and "Arab Americans" are offended. Some people just can't resist the temptation to be offended at the tiniest thing. These two groups stand much to gain by being offended, and we stand everything to lose by becoming "sensitive to their cultural differences." Cultural, Schmultural -- if they choose to stay in America, they can acculturate themselves to America or leave.
This is war. After a nuke device has gone off in the US, or a biological weapon has been unleashed, the truly American patriotic Muslims and Americans of Arab descent, will prove their worth by understanding and aiding the profiling that will be neccessary for America's remaining a free and productive capitalist society. Furthermore, those of us honorable Americans not Muslim or Arab, but just and right, will see that they're not taken financial advantage of by dishonest schmucks, as were some American Japanese in World War II. Honor is what will save the day, not "cultural sensitivity."
I'm scared of the Islamic terrorists, but I'm TERRIFIED of China. She, I think, is far the most dangerous and devious. We had better all get tough fast.

Honor is what will save the day, not "cultural sensitivity." Liberal sensitivity training is cheap and useless. Many Japanese fought against Japan, out of a sense of shame for what Imperial Japan had done. It was dishonorable to them what Japan had done. I don't get the same feel from these folks. They are always curiously silent......and I'm not talking about these half-hearted, lukewarm sympathies expressed by CAIR and others like them.
To: Finny
They don't feel any shame. They are too busy filing lawsuits and making statements like, "We're sorry it happened, but you all deserved it in some way".
This nonsense has to stop. You are either for us or against us, whether you live in England, Germany, France, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, or the USA.

The FBI at the time, he said, was not "fluent in [that] culture. We would sit down with Asian Americans and not be able to understand them and read them." Trouble communicating, huh?.........Try this.
"We've got wind of some plot originating by one of your pals. You see, he plans to blow up (name your favorite landmark)..........We just want you to know, that within the framework of American jurisiprudence, that if you know anything about it, and it happens, we won't be holding a 'sensitivity training' class. We'll be holding you as an accessory to murder. Mass murder. Call us if think that there is a better option for you. Have a nice day"
To: Finny
jurisiprudencePardon the typo. It's been a long day. jurisprudence.
To: Finny
It's positively amazing, the police talk tougher to speeders and litterers than to a group of people who may be planning mayhem on a massive scale.
To: Finny
"You! Yes you!! (wielding megaphone) we know you have a joint in your pocket. We are going to send you to prison for life!!!"
You!!!, yes you CAIR. (megaphone switched off). I'm sorry, was that a bit too loud. Did we hurt your ears? We're sorry, we'll take some sensitivity training. "

In the book "Phase Line Green: The Battle for Hue, 1968" by Nicholas Warr, I got to read about how American soldiers were sent into a meat grinder and shot down like dogs because our commanding officers were too chickensh!t to order the bombing of the "culturally significant" buildings of Hue.
Of course, when the South Vietnamese Army later came in to occupy it they had no qualms whatsoever about blowing it to snot to save their hides from VC regulars who were hiding there.
American blood is cheaper than other nations "cultural artifacts", you see.

Referring to posts 12 and 13, please accept them for what they are:
A group of people whose priorities are All Fouled Up.
Feel free to alter this statement as you see fit.

If I may say one thing claptrap, diversity is not garbage. Except when it's coming out of the mouth of some liberal.
They hijack everything that is good, and turn it into a curse.
I don't mind this guy or that importing the best of what his/ her culture may have to offer. We can meet the liberals on these terms any day of the week.
Liberals want no parts of it. They insist on importing the worst of what the world has to offer.
To: claptrap
....and that to me is true cultural sensitivity.
