This statement of Romney's bothers me.

Yeah, it is like he is trying to whitewash any connection to being a looney Muslim, and instead blaming it on being claustrophobic.

Palestinians are claustophobic. They need more space.

[Mr. Lucky]

I don't know about you, but whenever I'm feeling a little claustrophobic, I fly from Pakistan to London, then smuggle a screwdriver and sack full of incendiaries onto a trans-Atlantic flight, pull down my trousers and mutter stuff about al queda.

I think that Romney (and the Bush administration) are afraid to say that this loon is a terrorist. Why? Maybe it has to do with the billions of $ this country spent bailing out the airline industry after 9/11. These businesses are still on shakey ground (United just came out of bankruptcy) and the pols are obviously thinking that even the suggestion that they may be subject to attack could put them out of business. This kind of sensitivity, however, (coupled with the resistance to use racial profiling) is what is dooming us to another 9/11.
