A man thought to be the step-son of Saddam Hussein was arrested tonight in Miami on an immigration violation. Mohammad Saffi arrived in the Los Angelas yesterday on a flight from New Zeland and then came to Miami. He came to South Florida to attend a flight school.

Well hello, you must be Saffi's new defense attorney...eh?

No, I just have actual brain cells, connected to each other, that can perform a variety of processes known as "reading carefully" and "thinking logically." Check into it sometime.

I guessing you're one of those types that thinks anyone not in favor of exterminating the entire Muslim population of the world is a flaming pacifist?

[Howlin]

I meant to say that.

Saddam is not a dumbo; in fact he is a very intelligent sociopath.

People ask me why I use the terms "Organized," "Disorganized" and "Mixed" for describing criminals. The practice dates to when I first began research into the mind of the killer. Then, I noticed that the behavioralists were using psychological jargon -- "psychopaths," "antisocial," "sociopath" -- to describe basically the same person. These terms were very confusing to me as well as to others in law enforcement.

At times, I couldn't help but shake my head at some of the descriptions I heard. For example, one psychologist called Charles Manson a "psychopath." Another psychologist described him as a "paranoid schizophrenic," which is a psychotic disorder.

I never felt qualified to speak from the standpoint of a lot of doctors' degrees and that kind of education. I'm in law enforcement. With crime profiling, I never felt we were qualified to use psychological terms -- we have no business throwing diagnoses around.

Function terms

Instead of such ambiguous phrases, I decided to come up with functional terms that described the crime's appearance: Organized, Disorganized or Mixed. That appearance reflects directly on the offender.

• Organized. When I say a crime is organized, I generally mean it was premeditated. Little evidence is found at the scene. The subject carefully planned the crime to minimize risk and apprehension. Generally, the organized criminal is the anti-social personality. Someone who knows right from wrong. Someone who is not insane, who will show no remorse over his criminal acts.
• Disorganized. In contrast, when I say disorganized, I'm referring to a crime or crime scene that shows little, if any, pre-planning on the part of the Unsub (unknown subject). The disorganized Unsub has a high risk of being identified and apprehended. Evidentiary items such as fingerprints, blood and semen are often found at the scene. In cases of rape and homicide the Unsub often utilizes a "blitz" style of attack that renders the victim unconscious or dead. The disorganization of the crime may indicate any or all of the following conditions: a youthful offender, the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, difficulty controlling the victim or mental illness.
• Mixed. When I say mixed classification, I mean a case such as that of O.J. Simpson, where the crime scene appears to be very premeditated. The subject brings to the scene the weapon, gloves and a hat -- premeditated. Yet the crime scene appears disorganized. The subject had a well-planned idea but did not expect to be confronted, as the subject was, in this case, by Ron Goldman. So he -- O.J. -- basically lost control over the situation so the crime's ultimate appearance shifted from organized to disorganized.

  When you look at some cases in the mixed category, you may be able to pick up more than one offender at the scene. For example, one part of the scene may appear to be very sophisticated and very organized, while other parts are in total disarray. This may indicate that two people participated in the act, operating in concert with one another.

I would say that UBL is organized. Very organized.

This is not surprising, just about anyone can enter this country. Sadam Hussein himself could put on a NY Yankees cap and enter with little or no problem.

The step son entering does not surprise me, the authorities apprehending him, does.

Abso-freaking-lutely! We live in a nation run by incompetent fools.

[Phil V.]

This IS a joke, right?

[Joe Hadenuf]

I read it, and sat there silent for a minute. LOL! I love it when folks don't add, "sarcasm".....

[ClancyJ]

Airline crews under surveillance?

Profiling! Profiling! Profiling! In a time of war, do you think the PC crowd will let us profile if the other side is doing it too?

[honway]

We MIGHT lighten up a bit, you know?

I am all for that. Are you sure you meant the reply for me? If so, my apologies.

[Ditter]

YOUR PAPERS ARE NOT IN ORDER! (Thank God someone noticed)

[B Knotts]

Very interesting. Contrary to my first reaction on hearing
this story, I suspect this guy doesn't like Saddam much.

[Torie]

Your most interesting post seems more focused on the modus of the crime. My comment was more focused on the mind. Without looking it up, I use the term "sociopath" to mean someone that without the slightest feeling of guilt will commit any evil that is perceived as furthering the subject's ends. Some sociopaths have more organizational skill, or plan more in advance then others. That is all very interesting, and may affect the end result. Saddam may be characterized as an organized sociopath, which of course makes him all the more effective, and more dangerous.

You have got to be kidding..."Everything possible is being done to protect American citizens"...just keep repeating Bush's words in front of a mirror until you hypnotize yourself into believing it.

If this really is Saddams step son, this is a bigger scandal than Atta getting the ok from the INS to attend flight school a month after 9-11.

ROFLOL!

A man thought to be the step-son of Saddam Hussein was arrested tonight in Miami on an immigration violation.

Life ain't fair.

I believe it was the INS at Miami that let The Talented Mr. Atta and some associates
just waltz back into the country despite numerous immigration violations.

Don't tell me that the INS actually is starting to do their job?
I think I'm gonna' faint...

[A Citizen Reporter]

Wow bub, excellent job in escalating the rhetoric! You have twice jumped to the conclusion that there is NO connection of Mr. Safi to bin Laden. While I don't hold a whole lot out on the American press for accurate coverage, let me just say that your "defense" of the matter has made me a bit skeptical.

[nunya bidness]

My point was that the headshrinkers have handed us a lexicon on criminal behavior that has been hijacked by the legal profession and trickled down to popular culture by the media.

By trying to apply a moral standard to a criminal we don't address the crime. In this case you called him a sociopath, indicating that he might not know right from wrong. Thereby giving him license to commit his acts based on a flawed pathology.

He's an organized criminal based on the standard of FBI profilers who deal with criminals. When they used to investigate, that is.

Cheers!

Oh, this ought to be interesting.

I say, for his first pilot's test, he should be given a ride on a centrifuge, to approximately 2,000 rpm. Afterwards, ask him if he has anything he would lie to talk about before his next ride at 4,000 rpm. Repeat as necessary.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

What a brilliant dude. His name must be Shemp Hussein.

LOL!

Bet when he gets home, papa Saddam gives him a serious eye-gouge!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

This man is a New Zealand citizen employed by Air New Zealand as a Ground Engineer. He is also a licensed Flight Engineer and was in Miami to do re-current training. He has 1000's of hours of flight experience. New Zealand is none to happy over the number of international laws that have been broken, including being interrogated without the NZ consulate being informed.

Piss on New Zealand. Another socialist wasteland. After 3,000 of their citizens have been murdered in an unprovoked military attack, perhaps then we may entertain their pissant concerns. I don't care if their "citizen" was certified by the King of New Zealand. They obviously have been spending way too much time with their sheep. Buttholes!

[VaBthang4]

I dont care.

Zero tolerance for idiots who cannot follow the immigrantion and Travel rules of the United States of America.

If Santa Clause doesnt file the correct forms and show the proper ID.....he dont get in. If he tries it anyway thinkin he's special......blow him outta the sky.
