Two Middle-Eastern looking guys are wanted for questioning over their suspicious behavior on Washington State ferries. According to law enforcement authorities, the ferries have been labeled a high potential terrorist target (even though the FBI also insists they are safe). So how did FOX News cover the issue on last night’s (8/21/07) Hannity & Colmes? By calling in Mark Fuhrman to argue on behalf of racial profiling. Fuhrman declared the men “an obvious threat,” and claimed that “profiling is a word attorneys have come up with to defend their guilty clients.” He was enthusiastically aided and abetted by Sean Hannity. With video.
The thing about profiling is that I am not against it because I think it is wrong, I am against it because it doesn't work. If you target men, they will send womyn. If you target Arabs they will send Africans, Asians or other races. If you target foreigners they will recruit domestically. IN fact a smart terrorist could use the profiling to their advantage. Send an old lady through the line, with a group of teen Arab males right behind her. Security is so concerned about the Arab males they don't focus on the older lady - and she gets the bomb through.
