How about a little profiling.. Hint hint.

I think we need both. Recall that two of the plotters were Brits who converted to Islam.

And recall that a couple was going to bring their child on board and have the explosives in the baby bottle.

So we can't just profile those who look like muzzies - al Qaeda has been recruiting in Bosnia, where the Muslims are fair-skinnned.

You might as well call the ACLU anytime you pick up a Muslim. Profiling?? Big deal. Pick'em up. Deal with it later. They comp[lain whether innocent or guilty.

I will buy that.

to deny that a pattern has existed previousl;y and say we shouldn;t even consider it seems a bit nonsensical. the terrorists are not stupid, our responses should be more than just reactive for the most part.
