THANK YOU!

Are there two threats to our security, foreign terrorists and troubled teenagers?
More than two threats I'm afraid. No one should be above or beyond reproach, IMO. Certainly, no one should be singled out, while others are allowed to walk away.

Quote:
Is John Walker a foreign terrorist or a troubled young man? Let's check his ethnicity and see which he might be.


Exactly.

Quote:
Was Timothy McVeigh a terrorist? I think so. Yet, he was always called the Oklahoma City bomber.
Oh, but he was a member of the armed services: he could possibly be a threat to national security. He was just..."troubled". How about we just single out that Arab or Sikh Indian instead? It's MUCH easier, donchaknow.
