You are taking the word of ONE AP caption as the fact that ALL van owners are being handcuffed. I find this hard to believe.
As far as getting it, yes, I do. We have a terrible problem with radical Islam infiltrating this country and recruiting people who are disaffected...blacks, Hispanic gang members, pathetic suburban white students.
All I was trying to say is profiling of ME types would let all of the people I listed through.
Quit ranting at me. You are simply angry that I refuted you with simple logic.

No, what I'm angry about is that we might not solve all the problems by profiling our KNOWN enemy amongst us, but we sure as heck could start putting SEVERE pressure on THAT problem (ME Terror), even if this IS NOT ME terror...what if it IS? Any and EVERY cell needs to be sniffed out NOW so that ME types don't get carried away with similar feats all over America. Look at what's going on in America..RIGHT NOW! Look at the highways...and we don't even KNOW jack squat. AND, IF WE DID know something CONCRETE, and they CAN'T STOP HIM/THEM, then WHY IN THE WORLD DON'T THE AUTHORITIES TELL US EXACTLY WHAT IS CONCRETE SO THAT THE CITIZENS CAN TRY STOPPING THIS NUT.
The current approach is bass ackwards to everything American, besides being totally ineffective and ENCITING more of the same...

We have a terrible problem with radical Islam infiltrating this country and recruiting people who are disaffected...blacks, Hispanic gang members, pathetic suburban white students. ......the profiling of ME types [only] would let all of the people I listed through. Good point, and one that is often overlooked. I'm inclined to believe that the sniper is in fact a group of snipers and radical Islam is probably the motivating and organizing force, but the perps could be of any race or background. --- white Jihadists (like J.W. Lindh), black Nation of Islam types ....pretty much anybody.
