"They All Look A Certain Way"

From the AP:
Arabs should be targeted for searches on city subways, two elected officials said, contending that the police department has been wasting time with random checks in its effort to prevent terrorism in the transit system.

The city began examining passengers' bags on subways and buses after the second bomb attack in London two weeks ago. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly and Mayor Michael Bloomberg have said several times that officers will not racially profile.

But over the weekend, state Assemblyman Dov Hikind said police should be focusing on those who fit the "terrorist profile."

"They all look a certain way," said Hikind, a Democrat from Brooklyn.
Timothy McVeigh and Osama Bin Laden: separated at birth.

The past few years have been a fascinating and valuable illustration of how easily the kind of massive human tragedies we grew up studying actually happen in the first place. We're quite literally "living" history---right here, right now.

All the progressive gains of the 60s generation are being subverted back to the mean. The more things change, the more they stay the samme.

Indeed, these are exciting times.

Unfortunately, it's going to take a terrorist attack from a white lady for people to realize that race doesn't have anything to do with this.

Don't forget Eric Rudolph.

Is saying all terrorists look alike, any different than Bill O'Reilly on Fox saying, "I don’t give them any protection. I don’t feel sorry for them. In fact, I probably would have ordered their execution if I had the power.", when referring to Guantanamo Bay.

Interesting article here - University of Oklahoma student was stopped at Will Rogers World Airport for carrying a pipe bomb onto a plane. He said building bombs was a recreational activity and he simply forgot that it was in his bag. Profile?

I have been following a site now for almost 2 years and I have found it to be both reliable and profitable. They post daily and their stock trades have been beating
the indexes easily.

Take a look at Wallstreetwinnersonline.com
