The FBI couldn't get away with racial profiling, could it? I mean in THIS political climate?

As for Moose, though, one would have thought he would have been willing to racially profile if people's safety demanded it, and he certainly had the pigmentation to be able to get away with it. My opinion of him has forever changed.

Moose didn't do the profiling. The FBI did. In fact, they have a number of profilers on staff and train other profilers. They even made a movie about it ("Silence of the Lambs," remember?). They got it wrong. The "racial" profiling is actually the profilers playing the percentages--there are more white serial killers than black serial killers. But it's simpler and easier to blame Moose for the inaccurate profiling than on the FBI, because he was out front and the FBI was in the background.
