March 19, 2003 -- Dozens of Iraqis and suspected Iraqi sympathizers will be detained in New York and at least four other U.S. cities this week, The Post has learned.

Iraqi agents and sympathizers may be plotting terror attacks on American soil in conjunction with the war, government officials said yesterday.

Hmmm.

It is a start. I'm equally, or even more concerned about the tens of thousands from other muslim countries.

Student visas, overstayed tourist visas, illegal entrants, etc. And legal resident aliens, and even citizens.

Should terror attempts be made at this time, it is evidence of the worldwide muslim terror threat--not to be taken lightly.

Good thing. Keep it focused on militant Islamics, not just Iraqis.

Guess no one will be left to post on DU :)

Just arrest anybody with a bad mustache and we should be safe.

Deworming the Big Apple.

At least we can be thankful Saddam doesn't have Don King hair.

This is good because Newsmax has a warning from the Iranian Ayatollah that I don't care much for.

The Nazis had more style.

[Quilla]

Oh my, I hadn't seen that. Notice the article doesn't mention just how many of the Iraqi nationals and possible terrorists have been picked up. This may be a good time to start publishing pictures and stage a nationwide 'be on the lookout for' so we all can assist in the effort.

Well, I guess it won't be long before the sreeching starts, comparing this to the treatment of the Japanese in WW2.

Racial profiling! Discrimination! Somebody call the ACLU! Call CAIR! Call Janeane Garofalo!

The detainees could come from more than 30 countries besides Iraq. They'll be held until their asylum applications are approved - which can take months.

I think we're finally getting serious.

[csvset]

I just wonder if any of the Iraqis that are targeted for roundup were welcomed to our country after the last Gulf War.

[libertylover]

Seriously though, how long can someone be held legally without being charged?

[RushLake]

Well, I guess it won't be long before the sreeching starts, comparing this to the treatment of the Japanese in WW2.

Well, as they say in the Russian army, toughski s#itski.

21 minutes...

[Just mythoughts]

There are a few socialist/liberal dims I would not mind seeing detained for encouraging terrorist activities.

These people siding with Saddam, cause me as much concern as those who carry out the evil deeds, some of them are elected officials.
