Reply #101: All right, let me try to clarify it

Your saying (or Benburch's, rather) that you are personally interested in law enforcement techniques has nothing to do with this discussion. That's a bit of personal information that is, like any personal information, irrelevant. Sure, there are people -- law enforcement enthusiasts -- who would ask this question -- "what party was did the BTK killer belong to?" -- without any political, quasi-tribal connotation. But this thread does not represent that sentiment. This thread is self-righteous tribalism, no different from Freepi rejoicing that the latest child molester caught was actually gay.

Or, that John Lyndh was from a liberal family in San Francisco. Ergo, liberals need to be profiled in connection to terrorism links.
