The pilot was right and the President was wrong. If we had profiling on Sept. 11th the entire catastrophe might have been averted and 6,000 Americans wouldn't be dead. If avoiding hurting people's feelings is more important than saving lives we won't have learned the lesson of Sept 11th at all. Sure he may have been wrongly kept off the plane but at the time the pilot made the right decision and the plane reached its destination. We need more profiling to avoid future Sept. 11ths.

No, President Bush was not wrong. He said he would be "madder then hell" if his USSS agent was blocked from flying because of racial profiling. The fact (or allegation) is that the agent was blocked from flying because of his abusive and unprofessional behavior, REGARDLESS of his ethnicity.

I seriously doubt Bill Press would have reversed himself without very compeling evidence. Especially when it makes Bush look good. I have heard that several passengers agree with the Agent and only AA employees agree with the Pilot.

"...the President was wrong."

What has the President said that is "wrong". All I have heard is that he said if the pilot was discriminating, he would be POed. I agree w/ the pres but as the story unfolds, it appears the pilot was acting properly. I doubt the pilot was tuned into calling his good buddy, the pres!

So far, I go with the pilot.

DISCRIMINATE OR DIE!

Discrimination is not a bad thing or we would all be satisfied with rotting food. Speaking of which, why are disruptors Dave S(audi) and ImphClinton still here?

Why are the rest of you wasting time and bandwidth with these terrorists?
