Again, you're welcome Cindy. Here's more of same:

Here we go folks......

The lawyer appointed to represent the man accused of attempting to bomb Northwest Flight 253 had prior success helping to defend an alleged terrorist.

Miriam Siefer, the chief public defender in Detroit, also has handled cases involving disturbances on other Northwest flights, including one in which a man pleaded guilty after illegally transporting ammunition and saying he was traveling overseas to kill Osama bin Laden.

Defense lawyers with experience in terrorism-related cases say Ms. Siefer's latest job -- representing 23-year-old Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who was charged with trying to blow up a Christmas Day flight to Detroit -- will be difficult, in part because of his alleged statements after the incident. Among other things, passengers have said Mr. Abdulmutallab told them he had an "explosive device" after passengers and crew put out a fire that had started in his lap. He also allegedly told investigators he had affiliations with al Qaeda operatives in Yemen, who gave him the device and detonation instructions to blow up the plane.

If we don't profile, we're nuts!

Snips: But no, owing to politically correct folderol that falls little short of criminal negligence and nothing short of outright stupidity, profiling is viewed as, oh, so, you know, unfair and, my goodness, discriminatory, and, well, what are dozens of bodies blown to pieces next to those concerns?

It's absolutely nuts not to profile – which is to say, pay special attention to people with certain characteristics – because we know that most terrorists having at Americans are young men of jihadist stripe often coming from certain parts of the world. Focus on these people as they board planes, and if something is out of line, there's a good chance you'll find it.

The anti-profilers also tell you that profiling will somehow make you miss the terrorist who does not fit the bill, such as the 80-year-old great grandmother from Peoria who does militia training on weekends. Well, no it won't. Paying special attention to some does not mean you will pay no attention to others. But because intensive searches of everyone are impractical, we should play the odds by figuring young men are more likely to be terrorists than old women. We will save more lives that way.

Saving lives is what it's about, of course, and that's what the Army failed to do in the case of Maj. Nidal Malik Hassan, who announced his jihadist fanaticism to just about anyone who would listen but was apparently left alone because officials thought it would be unseemly to kick a Muslim out of the Army. He shot 13 people to death at Fort Hood. Political correctness can be deadly.
