Hmmm …………. nope, ain’t no patterns here.

I thought it got harder for such as this to escape detection after 9/11, not EASIER.

I shudder to think about the magnitude of this dilemma HERE.

Those 2 guys in Lodi CA were allowed to OPT for deportation! DEPORTATION?

How about life in prison for SEDITION?

Noticed this article and had to laugh….and wonder (as many have) why we spend so much time/effor/money and other resources searching people who in no way whatsoever fit the profile of the type of person all this increased security is…

Eddie wrote #1:”…What if the Islamic warlords of Somalia declared war on the U.S. and all of its allies in the same way the Islamic radicals have? Would all black men around the world suddenly become potential suicide bombers in the eyes of the general public?…

“We looked at whether another country might take him,” said the British official. “We narrowed it down to about 10. They all said that they would like to help but always added that their relations with Saudi Arabia might be jeopardised. Finally it came down to one – Dominica.”

It is unlikely that Dominica, or anywhere else, is going to set itself up as the “home away from home” for deported terrorists. I guess England still has it in its blood to look for a modern penal colony since Australia and the state of Georgia are no longer an option.

International law, being what it is, will undoubtedly come into the fray on “sending them back to where they came from.” Egypt certainly doesn’t want all the troublemakers back stirring up their already troubled waters.

I have a great hope (and a little information) that we have a fair amount of help from Muslim countries in identifying the troublemakers within.

This idea that keeps coming up about profiling on some whole race or religion is just pure distortion and nay-saying. The head terror cop in NYC went through the employee roster for the city and pulled the files on all the foreign-born Farsi, Urdu and Sanskrit speakers in the department. This included cops, meter maids and janitors. He has created a huge pool of employees who live in the neighborhoods where Islamic radicals are likely to live and who can understand what is being said and who can read the bulletins, graffiti, web postings, etc. Is this profiling? You better believe it is and it is of the most productive nature.

Can we get away from the idea that profiling is rounding them all up because of their color or their head wear or what food they buy? We are so much more sophisticated than that!

I agree with La Shawn that Bush and Blair are more swayed by political correctness and not making waves than they are about taking historic steps to meet this dragon head on. I want to see our borders made secure (as possible) and our vast population of illegal aliens dealt with decisively.

The terrorist attacks being committed around the world are for the most part being carried out by men of middle-eastern descent. What if they were of African descent? What if the Islamic warlords of Somalia declared war on the U.S. and all of its allies in the same way the Islamic radicals have? Would all black men around the world suddenly become potential suicide bombers in the eyes of the general public? Would the typical young black male in America become even more suspicious? Is fat meat greasy?

What would be most interesting to me would be the reaction of the so-called “black leaders”. I pose this hypothetical scenario because I hardly ever hear of Jesse, Al, or anyone else of their ilk ever speak out against the alleged profiling of middle Eastern men. Just a thought.
