In the global war on terror, information is everything.
A single tip from the public can save countless lives. A terrorist could be right in front of your own face. Thats why the FBI rolled out a new ad campaign on billboards and buses. It shows the faces of 16 of the world's most wanted terrorists.
Some, however, say they're being depicted in a less that flattering light.
You look at the pictures, they're all one color of folks, said Congressman Jim McDermott of Seattle. McDermott has asked the FBI to pull the ads, calling them racist because there are no white people.
Terrorists come in all shapes and sizes. If you're gonna talk about terrorists, then dont just talk about people with brown skin, he said. How many white faces were there on there?
Truth be told, there is at least one. His name is Omar Hammami. The FBI lists him as a 29 year old native of Alabama, but its hard to tell behind the beard and head wrap. The ad also shows three men of Asian descent. Of the 32 people on the FBI's most wanted terrorist list, only six are not of Middle Eastern origin.
Some say the poster isn't racist. It's reality.
If these are the faces of terrorism, you have to go with what the truth is, said Dale Cavanaugh after seeing the ad. It's too bad that it comes across as racist.
McDermott says he hasn't gotten a response from the FBI about his request to pull the ads. Calls from KING 5 to the agency were not returned Thursday.
Actually, the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist list is sexist.
Only one woman, which means 29 out of 30 are men despite 50% of the world’s population being female.
I’m am seriously offended. Who do I sue?
Accckk. Reading too fast. Make that 31 out of 32 are male.
They hold US security hostage to their political demands.
ALL COMMITTED BY LUTHERANS!
I'd say that this guy has a good point.

McDermott took funds from a Saddam ally....’nuff said

A few questions.
Are these people NOT the 16 most wanted terrorists in the world?
Is this man suggesting that more white folks become terrorist so that they can replace some people of color?
Is this man a total mental midget?
Is this man a total mental midget?
It IS Jim McDermott we're talking about here, is it not? And you have to ask this question? Next to Jim McDermott a mental midget would seem a giant.
That's the fact, but within his party he doesn't really stand out against Shirley Jackson Lee, Nancy Pelosi, Debbie Wasserman Shultz, Maxine Waters, Barbara Lee, Henry Waxman, Gerald Nadler and so many more i can't name them all. Mental midgets all.
Dokka Umarov is a white Chechen. And a lot of the Arabs look pretty white to me.
Baghdad Jim doesn’t want to lose any more of his constituency.
#23 — thank you!
I was just going to post, “Hey Jimbo, anytime you want to add your fat pasty commie mug to the list, be my guest, you filthy scum-covered traitor!”
