Reader comment on item: To Profile or Not to Profile? [The Abdullah al-Kidd Case]
in response to reader comment: We're stupid if we DON'T profile

Submitted by Lou (United States), Feb 11, 2009 at 19:02

Great article,couldn't have said it better myself.Look,we know where all this terrorism is coming from.Muslims,Islam&violence go hand in hand.To say the truth your a racist,that goes with many other problems in this country.Blame the media,academia&all other so called learning institutions.Profiling was done,&still is against the mafia,nazis,oriental,hispanic gangs,&inner city thugs.I know a state trooper who always profiles,but just can't say it for obvious reasons.It's the most logical tactic to use for catching criminals done by a certain gruop of people in certain areas.It's common sense,unfortunately it wont get done.
