Okay quotas for terrorists. hmm. I want at least 50% of them to be women and I want it NOW.

And when, "Member since October 11, 2001", do you think we will stop alienating the Muslims? When we just turn over our security, our liberties, our sacred honor? Get real or get off this site.

"All the indicators, the simplifiers -- the head dress, the beards, the appearance -- all indicate a particular group, associated with a particular culture." -- George Joffe, red-hot Middle East expert at Cambridge.

Yo! Joffe! They look that way in the pictures, because that's the way they look!

White, red, yellow, black or purple polka dotted, bearded or clean shaven, bald or with a full head of hair, or male or female. A terrorist is a terrorist.

"Now Americans think all Arabs are bad men and many Arabs now think Americans all hate them. This wasn't the case before," said Muhareb al-Emezi, a Kuwaiti businessman visiting London.

What a short memory the Kuwaitis must have!

Perhaps they should've thrown in a few photos of Swedes and Norwegians.

And a few red-haired Irish women.

Would that make the Reuterswhores happy?

...""Terrorism has a face, and today we expose it for the world to see," Bush said as he broadened the hunt beyond Bin Laden...

Political correctness be damned...today turbans, mustaches and beards are red flags for suspected terrorists. That's the reality, get use to it!

[eaglesiniowa]

Right on. I have yet to see one article issued by them that hasn't been an apologetic piece of pig swill. By the way, what do you ride?

[Jim Scott]

I suggest the Arab Muslims look at the root causes as to why they are sole people represented on the 'WANTED' poster.

[KC_Conspirator]

Let me see if I have one....no I think I checked thorougly; I do not have a violin small enough to accompany this article.

Muslims slamming planes into buildings "risk" alienating Americans.

It din't just risk alienating Americans. It did alienate Americans.

[johnny7]

Welcome aboard. You seem like a man of few words. Thats good. Set your goal for zero.

[ninachka]

What a big load of you-know-what. Bush didn't put those people on the list. They put THEMSELVES on the list.

Amen to that!

[aquila48]

Alienate???

If I were an arab/muslim I would be ashamed that these bastards belonged to my group. I would gladly help to hunt them down!!!

Our "Most Wanted" list needs to show the DI-VERRRR-SITY that is our nice world. We must be SEEEENNNNSITIVE to the feeeeeeelings of others. We don't want to OFFFFFEND anyone by implying that someone who looooooks like them is a bad guy.
