   I heard on the news today that the CIA is looking to recruit muslim and arab americans. Is it too far into conspiracy paranoia to wonder if our current administration is handing the US to terrorist islam on a silver platter?

   No. It would be incredibly naive to think otherwise.

   Elections have consequences.

   Absolutely profiling should be used to determine if there are other people in the military who might go off the deep end. In fact there have been several cases.

   There will be multiple criteria used to perform the profiling. Nothing wrong with that. But, what the military will do is drammaticaly different from what the term ‘profiling’ has come to mean.

   The multiple criteria that the military will use is far different from the single criteria that has made ‘profiling’ a bad thing.

   He said that it’s vital that all ethnic and religious groups in America be treated equally.

   This is how so many Americans are being misled into voting in people who subscribe to a sort of political viewpoint that is counterintuitive to our national security: they take an axiom like equality and equal justice, and mangle it w/ partisan ideology that makes dissension appear as racism.
   

   He also said racial profiling was bad policy that breeds mistrust and division.

   British Muslims Fear Repercussions Over Tomorrow’s Train Bombing

   Here’s a hypothetical headline that equates to the same thing.

   “Local woman brutally raped and killed by pardoned rapist. AG Holder cautions against public backlash towards men.”
   
   There is no way to read that without wincing. The warped logic and twisted priorities are astounding.

   Keep in mind that in many Islamic cultures, like the ones these terrorists want to impose on the entire world, the rape victim is at fault. Do we have to accommodate that in the spirit of PC tolerance? Will we look the other way in “honor” killings too? Sick.

    Conservative organizations have started petition-drives to FIRE AG Holder!

    He is endangering American citizens around the World by his pandering to the Islamists who openly seek to silence all American citizens AND Muslims who speak against the Islamic-Jihad agenda!

    Former Muslim friends of mine who are now Christians FEAR for their lives in what is NOW formerly “the land of the free”! Wake-up!

    AG Holder does NOT have America’s best interests at heart.
    He has a heart of stone!

    HI SHIMAUMA2–The CIA, FBI, and other intelligence agencies have a real need for patriotic Muslims and their language and cultural skills. A good spy must “fit it” to the environment he is going to infiltrate. Old blond blue eyed gringos like me don’t fit it well in Kandahar–or in your local Mosque!
    ***
    We are great at technical spying–satellites, communications interceptions, etc. We have poor “human intelligence” (aka spies) resources compared to Israel and other countries.
    ***
    Photos from a satellite 200 miles up in the sky will show an enemy tank attack forming up. A spy sleeping with the Minister of War or typing up orders in his office will let you know long before the impending attack will be visible to the satellite–and will give you intent also.
    ***
    The big problem is sorting out the Jihadi supporter “sleepers” and double agents from loyal Muslim Americans. And “riding herd” on agents to find the rogues. Ditto for all others–of all ethnic groups–in military and security sensitive positions.
    ***
    As far as “politically correct” and “equal opportunity” stuff–I’m O.K. with this. Fair and balanced trials and Saddam Hussein style LONG DROPS WITH SHORT ROPES for all convicted traitors, spies, and terrorists–regardless of ethnic groups. KSM would look great in the Iraqi court that swung Saddam a few years after his capture.

    This is not good.

    If people like Imad Hamad and others like him can rally Arab Americans using the Sharpton/Jackson method of victim hood and shakedown, we’ll have another RULING class of victims.

    How do we stop this?

    Isn’t it amazing that a Muslim terrorist can join our armed forces, murder 14 people at an army base, and yet we still won’t profile, and we continue to pander. Our enemies must be laughing at how mind numbingly stupid we are.

    “Racial profiling is simply not good law enforcement,” said Holder, who told the crowd that he was racially profiled in the 1970s as a college student.

    Because why when the perps have all been Muslim men between the ages of 20 and 50?

    Besides it is not racial profiling it is profiling people who have a certain set of beliefs. We know from polling and interviews that 10% of them are sympathetic to the cause of radical Isalm.

    Seems like the prudent thing to do. I was “profiled” for having a red sports car. So what? I was stopped questioned and politely sent on my way.

    Holder is a political operative and tool, not a law enforcement professional.

    Where are the protesting Arab/Muslim Americans who are outraged about the shootings at Ft. Hood?
    —-crickets chirping———-
    I guess a lot of them are listening to speeches by Obama and Holder who are comforting them about the horror of “backlash”.
    Holder says WAIT WAIT WAIT when it comes to investigating the death of American Soldiers by a Muslim Terrorist wearing their own uniform. But Holder jumps on a plane and tear-asses up to Detroit to kiss Muslim assess with his Politically Correct speech against the horror of Muslim Backlash which hasn’t even occurred. How many Muslims have been shot dead in cold blood because of the Ft. Hood shootings???

    It is not up to us to assure Islamic-Americans that they will be protected from a “backlash”. It is up to Islamic-Americans, who live in isolated and insular communities, that we have nothing to fear from them. That has always been the law of the jungle.

    As we have seen, in creating the current “culture of diversity” where the sponsoring culture (American culture) is deemed to be the oppressor (read: illegitimate) of the guest tribes we have created a very dangerous jungle where there is no sense of justice nor of personal safety.

    If Islam is not compatible with American values and ideals, it should be quarantined like any virulent virus and eradicated.

    WTF???? Ever since 9/11, exactly how many Muslims have been attacked or harrassed in America? A few, I’m sure. After all this is a country of more than 300,000,000, and you’ll always have a few nuts.

    But where are the anti-Muslim riots, the SWAT teams busting down mosque doors, the firebombings of CAIR offices, and its members’ homes and places of worship, the lynchings, the Sarah Palin-level vilification of Muslims on TV and in the press, the “unexplained” murders of random Muslims on the street?

    Holter’s got his head three feet up a warm dark place.

    He is a colossal hack.

    Hollywood needs to churn out more movies where radical Christians blow up busses of children and go on shooting rampages through muslim towns. They must saturate the airwaves with depictions of Christians abusing everyone, biting off heads from kittens, and forcing tear eyed muslims to celebrate their holidays. That image must become the norm for a sleepy American public.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.

    Obama’s administration will use YOUR blood to appease the jihadists. If I were AG, I would have been at Ft. Hood reassuring the soldiers that I will root out every potential security threat among the ranks and nothing like this act of terror will ever happen again. But I’m a normal American, not an America-hating Communist POS.

    And another thing. The Muslims seem to worry only about THEMSELVES whenever acts of terror occur. They try to make you forget the real victims and paint themselves as the victims instead. It’s disgusting. Want to prove your loyal and peaceful? Rat out the extremist imams, the Saudi money, the terror cells, the fronts for Muslim Brotherhood or Hamas or Hezbollah. Otherwise, you’re always under suspicion in my book.

    I will say that at this point I haven’t read thru this thread yet, but I want this idea out there.

    Rhetorical question: Is it true that Holder was Deputy AG when the first attempt to destroy the World Trade Center was perpetrated and also when The Cole was bombed? It’s taken a long time indeed.

    This begs the question.
    Should Holder resign and do the Honorable Thing, or just resign?
    I fear if it just resigns it will just move into a less visible pustule in the administration as did Van what^isf876k.

    I realize how unfair it was to leave Geitner out of the previous assessment. Maybe Holder and Geitner could share a ride to Ft, Marcy Park.
    These coprolites know exactly what they are doing and enjoying their success to this point, all the time playing dumb and hoping the ultimate goal is not seen. The destruction of Capitalism and The United States of America along with the economy of the western world is their perverted dream. Of course this is only IMHO.

    Holder brought with him to the Justice Department many of the wealthy D.C. lawyers who worked on the defenses of the Gitmo detainees and tried to ensnear the US military in knots. Now many of these lawyers are working for the Justice Department on the same issues. This is a blatant conflict of interest but the MSM won’t report on it. The names of these country club lawyers is well known but they will never appear in the New York Times. Can anyone imagine if the Bush Justice Department did the same thing? Rich, Dowd, Kristof would be orgasmic on the Sunday Times oped page.
    Holder basically told all the soldiers and navy men who captured KSM to drop dead. Holder will have the taxpayers pay for KSM’s high priced lawyers, KSM’s jury consultants, his investigators, his statisticians to do a jury profile and argue for a change of venue, his appeal lawyers if he is convicted and special death penalty lawyers. Holder also put the case in SD of NY where even the NY Times said KSM will have less chance of getting the death penalty. Most of the judges in fed court in New York are ultra liberal such as John Koetle who tried to rig the case against Lynn Stewart in Stewart’s favor and gave her the lightest sentence possible and this judge called Stewart a hero and bashed prosecutors. Koetl cried when the appeals court ordered him to send Stewart to jail.
