100% OK with me for profiling to occur when it is transparent and when it is clearly part of policy. Another name for profiling might be:
Intelligence......
As to who said everything Bush did in terms of clamping down on Americans was OK....well, in some ways - the folks who voted for him and supported him did.
Remember - this was a LEAKED document. So....do you folks now think that every document and briefing suggesting various potential dangers should be leaked to the righties to make sure it meets their political correctness test?
I think the BIG point here is when VIOLENCE is involved....or potential violence. Targeting anti-war protesters because they make you less money (if you are the government, corporations, arms contractors) is NOT the same as targeting the McVeigh types.....
