He was prob. an agent before the terrorist attack.
As for why? "Land of the Free...." I think that means everyone, not just caucasians. |

It's definitely a sticky issue. The guy might be a cracker jack agent, but I think he's stupid to not be aware of how his appearance (armed Arab man on American Airlines flight) might aggravate things. In his shoes, I'd be a bit slower on the draw with my attorneys. Is it right? Probably not. Is it how it is? Yup.

I saw the link to Vdare.com and didn't even waste my time reading the "article".

I get the sense that for all their detached tone, big words, and euphemisms, I get the sense that they just don't care much for non-whites overall. So I take them with a grain of salt, even if they do make good points now and then. |

Being that he is probably fluent in Arabic and is familiar with the culture and idiosyncrasies of Arab culture, an Arab-American SS makes perfect sense. Who else would be able to know exactly how these people think. The West has aleady made mistake after mistake when it comes to reading into how the Arab thinks and trying to predict their next moves. Mistakes that go all the way back to "Laurence of Arabia", include events in Somalia, 3 Embassy bombings, the USS Cole and culminating with 9-11-01.
