Perhaps. But only if the ACLU continues to dismantle the President's
authority to detain illegal combatants in this war on terror.

You mean, the government's new hobby, detaining people like these?

And, don't hand us any bull**** about the source, as you usually do.

Muslims Detained at Border Sue U.S. Homeland Security

NEW YORK, April 20 -- American Muslims detained at the border as they
returned from a religious conference in Toronto sued the Department of
Homeland Security on Wednesday alleging they were targets of ethnic and
religious profiling.

The five Muslims, all U.S. citizens, say customs officials detained
dozens of others from their conference in December, subjecting them to
interrogations, fingerprinting and photographing.

I have no problem with the "source" of this story...nor with actions of
the Dept. of Homeland Security.

Those 5 folks who were detained are certainly more apt to commit terrorist
attacks than an 80 year old grandmother. It's about time they started
racial profiling...especially for people who travel to "conferences" that
have suspected ties to terrorism.


Besides...questioning, fingerprinting, and photographing hardly qualify as
"detainment". So what's the big deal?

But professor, you objected to the exact same type of policies when
practiced by the USSR. Sorry. Can't have it both ways.
