Americans back anti-terrorism racial profiling: poll
Most Americans expect a terrorist attack on the United States in the next few months and support the screening of people who look “Middle Eastern” at airports and train stations, a poll showed on Tuesday.
The Quinnipiac University Polling Institute said 62 percent of Americans were “very worried” or “somewhat worried” that terrorists would strike the nation in the next few months while 37 percent were “not too worried” or “not worried at all.”
By a 60 percent to 37 percent margin, respondents said authorities should single out people who look “Middle Eastern” for security screening at locations such as airports and train stations — a finding that drew sharp criticism by civil liberties groups.
Which race are these guys?
More names?…just say it
P.S.
Anybody saw Bush speech today?
There were people applauding in the background after every phrase he said.
I don’t know if they were real people or pre-recoded applause [like the laughs in sitcoms], but if they were real, then all of them must be charged and imprisoned for cheering death messages.

“More names?…just say it”
Mmmmhmmmm.
“Anybody saw Bush speech today?”
Missed it. Anything we haven’t heard before?
“then all of them must be charged and imprisoned for cheering death messages”
The US isn’t an Islamist “republic”. We don’t have any laws against cheering here.
You know what is funny in your list?
All of them are terrorists listed by the US only, and all of them funded by the US
American definition of terrorism?
Any individual or organisation that gets in the way of the American aim of world domination.
I’m sure they’re all innocent of everything… at least under the principles of Islam. 8-O
Timothy McVeigh — executed

Now, remind me again what Muslim terrorists get? Oh yeah, they get a mural in their honor.
“American definition of terrorism?”
Islamic definition of terorrism? Defending yourself from Islamic terrorism.
There were people applauding in the background after every phrase he said.
I don’t know if they were real people or pre-recoded applause [like the laughs in sitcoms],…
Ladybird you read my mind. I just saw a part of the speech replayed, and I had the exact same reaction, I was about to write something like that on my blog…
I don’t think they would use a recording, they would be caught and ridiculed to no end. What I think they did was to put a head cheerleader, and had him clap into a microphone. There was one clap that was louder that the rest, at least in the video I saw. So he gets the rest clapping and it sounds like people are clapping at bush. But the fact is it came off as cheep clapping, and it did sound fake.
As to you list of criminals, I think Jon did a great job of explaining the difference. We get ours and put them away, or we put them under. You guys put them on a pedestal, and pay their families. and the Funny part is that these terrorist kill 99% more Muslims that anyone else. In the end you cheer for your own demise.
How stupid the comment about getting in our way, when these terrorist kill mostly you.
“What I think they did was to put a head cheerleader, and had him clap into a microphone.”
He pauses for effect. It’s the same thing a comedian does to elicit laughs from an audience at the appropriate time.
Here’s an amusing article about presidential speeching…

U.N.: Sanctions loom, Iran keeps enriching
August 31, 2006
The threat of sanctions has not convinced Iran to stop enriching uranium or to comply with demands that the Islamic republic prove its program is peaceful, a U.N. report said Thursday.
U.N. ambassadors are examining a six-page report from International Atomic Energy Agency Director Mohammed ElBaradei.
The report, which has received mixed reactions, came on the deadline set by the Security Council for Iran to halt its nuclear activities.

Thursday’s deadline calls for Iran to comply with Resolution 1696 and end its nuclear activities or face the possibility of economic sanctions. The report by the IAEA paves the way for Security Council sanctions against Tehran.
Iran has insisted that its nuclear program is for peaceful civilian energy purposes. The IAEA could not confirm that, the report states.
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton cited the report as “ample evidence” that Iran was defying the international community.
The report “concludes that after all these years of trying, the IAEA is still unable to confirm the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program,” Bolton said.
But a senior diplomat close to the IAEA said that does not prove Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons.
“Inspectors have not uncovered any concrete proof that Iran’s nuclear program is of a military nature,” the diplomat said. “At the same time, there is a standstill with regard to the resolution of outstanding issues which would clarify the peaceful nature of Iran’s program.”
Nuclear reactors that are used to produce electricity are fueled by a form of uranium enriched to a level that is lower than that used for nuclear weapons. Experts say thousands of centrifuges are needed to produce weapons-grade uranium.
Iran is using a cascade of 164 centrifuges to enrich uranium, the IAEA reported. Though the relatively small number implies Iran is not producing weapons-grade uranium, the agency says it still wants to know the origin of uranium traces found on some of the machines and what kind of research and development is being conducted.
The IAEA also has questions about traces of highly enriched uranium found in a waste-storage facility, and whether the Islamic republic is using P2 centrifuges, which are capable of enriching uranium more rapidly than other centrifuges.
The report also states that the IAEA is trying to obtain a 15-page report describing Iran’s process of casting and forming uranium metal into “hemispheres.” Experts say uranium metal must be cast into such shapes to form the core of a nuclear bomb.
The IAEA initially was allowed to review the document and take notes, according to the report. However, after a mid-August visit Iranian officials told inspectors they would not be able to analyze the report and destroyed the notes they had taken. The document remains under seal in Iran, the report states.

Bolton said this alone was evidence that Iran was pursuing nuclear weaponry.
“Apart from few very sophisticated uses for uranium metal by the most advanced nuclear programs in the world, the only real use for uranium metal is a nuclear weapon,” he said.
Earlier in the day, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad delivered a speech, vowing not to give in to Western interests.
“They should know that the Iranian nation will not yield to pressure and will not let its rights be trampled on,” he said.
High-level officials — including top Iranian nuclear negotiator Ari Larijani and EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana — will meet in the coming days, Bolton said. The language of the sanctions resolution will be discussed thereafter, Bolton said.
China and Russia — both veto-wielding members of the Security Council — have been reluctant to sanction Iran.
The passing of the deadline “does not mean that negotiations and talks are dead,” said China’s U.N. ambassador Wang Guangya. “I do hope that even after the passing of the deadline that we should talk to each other to find a way out.”
Iran appeared unfazed by the threats.
Sanctions “cannot dissuade Iranians from their decision to make progress,” Ahmadinejad said, according to Iran’s state-run news agency. “On the contrary, many of our successes, including access to the nuclear fuel cycle and producing of heavy water, have been achieved under sanctions.”
Iran has been under IAEA investigation since 2003. Inspectors have turned up evidence of clandestine plutonium experiments, black-market centrifuge purchases and military links to what Iran says is a civilian nuclear program, according to the agency.
It’s much the same crap as was invented in the case of Iraq, I don’t think the world will fall for this scam again, certainly Russia and China will veto any attempt at sanctions and an American one would be irrelevant.
Even “American intelligence” (if there is such a thing) confirmed that Iran is at least 5 years away, and possibly 10, from producing a nuclear weapon EVEN IF they started today.
“It’s much the same crap as was invented in the case of Iraq”
Really? The IAEA would tend to disagree with you on that it seems.
“I don’t think the world will fall for this scam again”
Documentation on the Iranian process of creating enriched uranium spheroids is pretty damning evidence. There is no peaceful purpose for them.
“certainly Russia and China will veto any attempt at sanctions and an American one would be irrelevant”
Certainly Russia and China have as big an interest in enforcing the NPT on Iran as the US does.
Unless it is confirmed that they are hiding P2 centrifuges which as the traces of highly enriched uranium indicate they are.
This isn’t a US intelligence report. This is an IAEA report. Iran has an obligation to make all its nuclear facilities available to inspection by the IAEA and that does not appear to be the case as we all can see.
Really? The IAEA would tend to disagree with you on that it seems.
Have the IAEA found any evidence that Iran is producing nuclear weapons? Nope of course they haven’t , indeed if the USA hadn’t got involved Iran would continue to allow IAEA inspections.

Yes and yellow cake from Niger no doubt :) . There’s no evidence at all that either Iran is producing nuclear weapons, that they want to produce nuclear weapons or even that they have the capability of producing nuclear weapons.
Certainly Russia and China have as big an interest in enforcing the NPT on Iran as the US does.
Well we will soon see who is right, there’s no way either will vote for sanctions on Iran.

The one I refered to was an American Intelligence report from just about a year ago, 5 to 10 years they said, so what has changed? Iran allowed IAEA inspections until the USA started dictating the terms.
“Have the IAEA found any evidence that Iran is producing nuclear weapons?”
Didn’t you read the freaking article and watch the freaking videos? YES! Sheesh.
“indeed if the USA hadn’t got involved Iran would continue to allow IAEA inspections”
They aren’t voluntary inspections. Even the entirety of the US nuclear program is open to inspections.
“There’s no evidence at all that either Iran is producing nuclear weapons, that they want to produce nuclear weapons or even that they have the capability of producing nuclear weapons”
I’m glad you aren’t a member of the IAEA.
“Well we will soon see who is right, there’s no way either will vote for sanctions on Iran.”
Yeah. We’ll see.
“The one I refered to was an American Intelligence report from just about a year ago, 5 to 10 years they said, so what has changed? Iran allowed IAEA inspections until the USA started dictating the terms.”
This has what to do with the article I posted about the IAEA report on findings in Iran? Nothing.
y are americans so mean???? why are the so selfish?? howcome american can do anything it wants?? destroy other countries and decide whether iran can have a nuclear power or not?? who or what is america??? america didn’t even exist 600 years ago. Why are americans always thinking they are the best in everything???.. if america was so organized and great and peaceful, why do other countries hate america???.. why ddoesnt america fix itz own problems with katrina and the 700 million prisoners in the country and itz other shitty problems!! fuk u america LEAVE THIS WORLD ALONE.
