Dick Cheney is lobbying Senators Mike Enzi and John Barrasso to write a bill that requires water boarding before marandizing.

 To be completely HONEST about this arrest, it gives huge credence to the Peace Movement !  Think about it.

Times Square bomb suspect arrested in New York (see link below)

A man suspected of attempting to detonate a car bomb in New York City has been arrested.
Faisal Shahzad, a US citizen of Pakistani origin, is accused of driving the explosives-laden car into Times Square on Saturday evening.
He is due to appear in court in Manhattan later.
US Attorney General Eric Holder said Mr Shahzad was arrested at John F Kennedy Airport attempting to board a flight to Dubai.

I don't know how meaningful the poll is, it wasn't done by a 'standard' news agency, but, it may very well illustrate the fact that people are concerned about their rights if they were ever mistakenly arrested.  The point is well taken when searching this man's identity.  About five pictures come up, which could be the same person, but, probably not.  One of the photos is this:

A photo of a wedding party.  So, you decide.  If an American citizen attempts to be this stupid and think he can get White Supremists angry enough to follow in his foot steps should he be marandized?

I hope the FBI has the right man and I hope he goes away for life. But, let's just say for one minute this guy is in this picture.  How many of his close friends feel the same way he does?  

This sort mimics the 'Fort Hood' soldier that put himself in an 'Allah Funk' when he killed his friends.  The only thing that separates any American at this point from an attack by a Jihadist is what the USA government can do to limiit the effect of such extremism. 

Be grateful the USA ATF has taken their role in all this so seriously.  I am confident we are doing all we can do in the USA to prevent extremism from causing citizen deaths, but, there is absolutely no way any one American can read the mind of another, now is there?  All we can hope to do is make the USA as safe domestically as it can be internationally.  Life on the edge of a volcano can be dangerous.  It is the USA.  We have enemies of all kinds.

...The poll finds that a big majority, 65%, supports the decision to Mirandize the Christmas bomb plotter. But it gets better. The public also thinks all terror suspects should be Mirandized as a matter of policy:
As you know, the police and FBI agents always inform suspects of their constitutional right to remain silent and to have a lawyer present during any questioning. Do you think law enforcement officials should or should not follow this practice for people who are suspected of attempting to commit an act of terrorism?
Should 56%
Should not 43%
The Cheneyites have been aggressively criticizing the Mirandizing of terror suspects in order to prove that Obama doesn’t have the right mindset to take on the terrorists and is treating them as common criminals. But the above numbers show that majorities don’t have a problem with what the Obama administration is doing on this front....

Here we go, the incompetents are at work in Arizona AGAIN.

...According to a United States Senator (John McCain) and recent major party presidential candidate, if the established law of the land was actually followed by the law enforcement agency that made this arrest, our national security is now at risk....
