dragging out the scapegoats

[Nabeela Sheikh]

speaking of paranoia:

excerpted:
<<last night, on Charley Rose, the ex-CIA station head in Pakistan
<<ominously warned that (I paraphrase): "we need to be careful about how we
<<retailiate because there are 7 million Muslims, 3 million of them Arab,
<<right here in the US - we don't want problems with them..."
<<
<<Finally, in a poll published today in USA Today,:
<<%49 of respondents felt that Arabs in the US, including citizens, should
<<be made to carry a special ID card and;
<<%58 of respondents felt that Arabs in the US, including citizens, should
<<be made to undergo special and more intensive security checks in American
<<airports.

but then is it really only paranoia if one of the 3 million or 7 million
turns out to be a nutjob?
