It's no secrete that the U Of A is a hot-bed of radicalism and socialism and has tenured professors who promote anti-Americanism. The FBI and CIA would do well to establish who in the Islamic communities across the country, not just in Tucson, are here legitimately, who are students and who are actual citizens. In Tucson you see the women dressed according to their religion even on the hottest days, certainly not becoming westernized or even trying to be an American. Unfortunately, they cast suspicion upon themselves especially by their silence.

May not be PC - but any non-citizen with 'suspected' ties to 'radical Islam' should be deported NOW.

A couple of years ago I had occasion to visit the Steward Observatory Mirror Lab at U of A, the nation's foremost facility for producing large telescope mirrors for astronomers. As the staff escorted my space development convention group on the 'nickel tour' of the facility, he mentioned something almost in passing: whenever a new mirror leaves the Lab, it is shipped out at an anonymous vehicle at an unannounced random time of day - specifically, he said, to avoid eco-terrorists, who now consider scientific research to be as evil as manufacturing or power generation.

Ever since Sept. 11, I've wondered whether there might be a connection between al Qaeda and Greens. They have the common objective of destroying Western civilization. Burning housing developments and smashing research instruments is, in the long run, just as important in realizing this goal as flying planes into buildings.
