Just like they took the side of the Bundy Ranch Militias, Border Klan patroling the border for unarmed people coming to this country for a better life, racist gun trafficker Randy Weaver, David Koresh, etc.

Nice to hear somebody on Fox News saying that bad guys identify themselves by skin color.

It certainly is nice of the bad guys to agree to a standardized I.D. system.

I just realized something.

1- 9-11 highjackers where followed by th F.B.I. and they got to crash places in the wtc.

2- The crazy guy in St-Jean was followed by the GRC or SQ and they stopped watching him. Then he ran over a soldier with his car.
(I don't know about the Ottawa guy but he was known by the police)

3- In France, the security service was watching the 2 brothers but they went to kill people anyway.

So militiamen are stopped BEFORE? How come muslim are not stopped before?

Any thoughs?

have information on tens of thousands of possible terrorists It's impossible to know which of the thousands of possible terrorists are about to do something, and its impossible to follow them all. Shit happens.

The completely unrealistic demand that EVERY potential attack be thwarted is what leads to the unrelenting demand to expand the state's surveillance powers.

Homeland Security should conduct a commission on Domestic terrorism looking into potential future threats to find out if there are any demographics that we should be concerned with or looking out for.

Oh no, wait. My bad.
