I like Ann. She is very smart. And it is obvious that middle eastern types are going to get greater attention at airport security situations. But Ann is going over a line here and she has done so recently. I suggest it is her terrible grief over the Olsen murder. Her comments on converting the muslims to christianity were way over a line. Everyone is thinking something along the lines of what she is saying but the way she is doing it arrouses animosity even of those who may agree with her. Sort of like Cooksey talking about diapers and fanbelts,,way, way over the line.

"I like Ann. She is very smart." I don't know Ann. And I'm just asking, but how do you know she's very smart? I haven't seen any case where she's advanced an argument as opposed to announcing a conclusion.

"Ann is going over a line here and she has done so recently. I suggest it is her terrible grief over the Olsen murder." Maybe she just doesn't think well when she's mad? Does she often sound mad when she writes a column? What other topics seem to get her riled up? I ask because, if she can't think when she's mad, it would be important to know what topics make her mad so we can discount completely what she says about them.
