DID POLITICAL CORRECTNESS ALLOW 9-11 TO OCCUR?

It saddens me to report that the FBI may have had in their possession at least a month prior to the Jihad attack against our nation on 9-11, a computer that had critical information on it. It appears that the laptop owned by Zacarias Moussaoui could have led the FBI directly to other terrorists and the attack could have been stopped. Moussaoui was arrested by local FBI agents in Minnesota where he was receiving flight training months before 9-11. The FBI in Washington, DC refused to obtain a warrant to search his laptop computer for fear of accusations of "racial profiling." Although the Minnesota office of the FBI was sure of a terror connection, the Washington headquarters run by Bill Clinton appointee Robert Mueller made sure that this illegal alien would receive rights beyond those reserved for US citizens.

As I write today, leaks are starting to come out of the FBI giving a clear indication that it was fear of being accused of racial profiling that allowed 9-11 to occur.

This idiotic "fear" of profiling is making it almost impossible to stop yet another attack upon the United States. Because airport screeners do not "profile," resources are wasted on those who pose no threat. Elderly Americans who have metal hips and women with support bras are those most likely to receive extra security screening. Meanwhile, young Muslim men frequently walk right through the metal detectors. If the metal detectors do not sound an alarm, no further action is taken. The reality is that these men could have ten-inch ceramic knives or bottles of acid concealed on them and the metal detector would not cause them to be searched.

Because of the fear of "profiling" accusations, an Orthodox priest coming to work in the United States is investigated more intensely than a Saudi "oil executive" coming to this nation to do "business." We have this strange notion in the United States that people have a right not to be offended.

If the Irish Republican Army were hijacking our aircraft, I would understand if I were pulled aside and given special attention at security check points, because I am a very athletic Irish-American. I have to face the fact I look like I could kill someone with my bare hands. (Actually I did receive that training in the Army.) Why then is it so "offensive" to athletic looking Muslim men to undergo that kind of scrutiny during a time like this, unless they are associated with those who would destroy our way of life?.
