I believe the original post (probably from a sock who's already moved on today to more exciting things) posited that after 9/11, nobody was against profiling of "swarthies" (Slave?) I think there continues to be a strong "anti-profiling of Arabs/Muslims" movement and the anti-profilers don't care whether the profiling is in the context of an investigation/interrogation/detention. They're just "against it". Like the people who are "against" world hunger.
I don't like to take a partisan view on this but...my instincts tell me that if
, before 9/11, , investigators began heavy profiling of Arabs and Muslims based on the types of reports Rice was criticized for not having "all principals meetings" on, there'd have been much protest by both left wing and so-called "mainstream" democrats.
Bombs away.
