Here's one from Karen who's from upstate, New York. Big territory. "Bill, I almost always agree with you, but you are really wrong on this one. The pilot did exactly the right thing. And anyone who believes a government ID cannot be forged is living in a fantasy."

Whorealdo would.
NO the AA CSO claimed his unnamed suprevisor said this.
Personally I found this part more interesting.
The Captain had a concern about a passenger onboard his flight. The Captain first requested a fax containing all wanted terrorist photos that American had available. ... The Captain said that we should not use his information because he could have a friend answering the phone when we called. I then suggested get the local police to verify the I.D. since, being located at BWI, they would have exposure to Secret Service I.D.’s and contact phone numbers. The next phone call I received was from the AA ticket agent at BWI. He said that the Secret Service agent had verbally abused the Captain and that the Captain was denying him boarding.
Only after the SOC suggest calling the Whitehouse did the agent become "abusive"
Then this gem
He then stated that the agent was of Middle Eastern descent. I explained to the superior that I did not know this and that there was no discrimination in the denied boarding process with SOC.
Right, now let me get this straight. He is asked for terrorist pictures (we all know they are almost all arabs after 9/11) and he doesn't know this agent is of Middle Eastern descent. Even though the steward(ess) found a Mid-Eastern Histroy book. Dosen't pass the smell test.
That further illuminates a flaw in your ability at reason.
I generally agree with 99.9% of what I read here seeing no need to post. When I do post I check my facts first and generally by then some one has beaten me to it as I am on a slow modem.
But in this case you are wrong. I have been reading this board for far longer than you guy's for the most part.
This and the fact that no one else reported on it today shows that the liberals realized they had not caught Bush on this one and that Bush would win. The Airlines own statement is the strongest statement of their own guilt.
Oh PULEEZ! Bush has nothing to do with this. He doesn't even have anything to do with hiring this incompetent secret service agent.
All 20 on 9/11 were. 99% are. This man even 1000 miles away would have assumed correctly unless told otherwize that this man was mid-eastern. Thus his statement is a lie and I do not believe anything else on it.
Just how many non-arab terrorist have you heard about recently? Even John Walker sort of looks Abab to me.
It was used and I pray Bush keeps his promise.
Total BS. What EVER would make you assert something like that?
BTW, gratuitous capitalization makes me insane. Stop it, please.
If you ask me your immediate assumption that all terrorist must be Arab says you're more of a racist then the AA employees.
President Bush has said he'd be "madder than heck" if his USSS agent was booted because of racial profiling, but has not said how mad he'd be if his USSS agent was booted for abusive or unprofessional conduct.
Frankly, America is getting tired of your kind of whiney excuses which liberals like to use.
To credit Bill Press, discredits you my friend. A little advice, Bill Press says black, go white.
Just in case your delusion has any more cracks in it, let me say that Bill Clinton's Impeachment was about pattern sexual harassment, oath violation, obstruction of justice and perjury. Al Gore was really the thief who would steal an election. The Florida recount bulls#$t, was just that, a big scam. Black voters being disenfranchised in Florida - bulls#$t. Old folks couldn't figure out the butterfly ballot - bulls#$t. Clinton created the economy - bulls#$t. Kosovo was about stopping a mass-murderer - bulls#$t. Just in case you have sucked down the line and sinker with that hook.
In fact I believe that CNN was trying to show the Pilot was correct in throwing him off the plane. This caused Bush damage as Bush said he would defend his agent. Press simply played Devils Advocate on the first show. Tucker tried to make out like this agent was only after money. The lawyer said any money won would be donated to the 9/11 victims.
Recently CNN has been trying to at least appear somewhat un-biased and this is whY I believe Press corrected himself and cleared the Agent.
How do you explain the Pilot not alerting the Whitehouse that there might be a fake agent at BWI with a gun trying to board airplanes. Did he not know that BWI stands for Baltimore Washington International and was only 20 miles from the Whitehouse. This CSO was 1000 miles away and only contacted the White House after this Agent spent hours at the Airport being kicked off one plane because of mechanical problems then a second because of pilot problems. I don't imagine it ever occured to this agent that the Pilot would never do the right thing and verify who he was considering the Whitehouse was so near.
