One can only imagine how a broadcast of the warning, "Watch out for Middle Eastern men in line near you, as you board your flight," would have gone down in those quarters of the culture daily worried to death about the alleged threat to civil rights posed by profiling and similar steps designed to weed out terrorists. Consider, a veteran political aide mordantly asks, what the response would have been if John Ashcroft had issued a statement calling for such a precaution, prior to Sept. 11.
That's right. The world was so different before 9/11. I can't even imagine what the left would have said if the terrorists had been pulled aside that day and searched. Oh my..they would have found a box cutter? Was that even legal on a plane then?
I don't know about that. But I do know that the same people griping today, would be griping about Pres Bush then too. They're being used by the dems and don't even know it.
