15. We have internment now. T. Don Hutto Prison in Texas.
Edited on Sun Jan-03-10 09:31 AM by rhett o rick
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T._Don_Hutto_Residential_Center


"Until the ACLU fought for a settlement this past August, the children at the T. Don Hutto Residential Center in Taylor, 35 miles northeast of Austin, lived in cells; they wore uniforms and received inadequate medical and educational services, were often cold and hungry, and were separated from their parents as punishment, and received only one hour of schooling per day and rarely played outside. Conditions have improved due to the court order, but they still live in prison cells.

They are guilty of no crimes, and endanger no one. Their parents, who are incarcerated here because they are seeking asylum after fleeing such circumstances as war, torture, political persecution and rape, or are accused of violating civil immigration laws, have committed no crimes. Many of the children are US Citizens.

Teachers at the center are not required to be licensed in Texas, and the state’s family welfare agency exempted Hutto from child care licensing requirements. Along with one other, less prison-like facility in Pennsylvania, Hutto is operated without official regulations.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the arm of Homeland Security that runs the two centers, relies on custody rules designed for inmates

Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), a for profit company running the majority of privatized prisons in the US, is paid 2.8 million dollars a month (7k per child per month or 84k per child per year) to keep these children behind bars.

It would cost less to put them up at the Austin Hilton with room service."

9. Geez....that's racial profiling.
If your going to strip search one group, then do everyone (no, I'm not serious, but it would make more sense). Racial profiling is terrible and reminiscent of Nazi Germany.

10. I'd like to know how this clown ever became a Lt.General...
We're talking Corps Commander here, that's not an easy position to attain. He has to be highly educated, motivated and well connected to obtain that rank.

I might expect this kind of response from a recruit, but from someone who spent 20+ years in the military, it is just about the worst type of behavior I can think of. The sheer stupidity of this man's statements makes me wonder how he made it through the military hierarchy at all.

Maybe he should be strip searched...( )

For every wild eyed terrorist out there that claims Islam as their religion, there are hundreds of thousands of Muslims that just want to live in peace. The vast majority of them will never fly out of their countries of origin...and yet, if they did, they'd be subjected to further degradation by and humiliation by simply being a person who is "different".

This man's, (and I use the term loosely), thinking, (also used loosely), is precisely why others are being drawn into a situation that endangers lives. He is, quite simply, part of the problem.

for promotion was that he passed the academic tests. He's a sorry S.O.B. though, that's for sure.

17. When one is passing through the ranks...
it all comes down to who you know. I have been under the command of senior officers whose soul purpose in life was to get orders for the Pentagon. Living a life of relative obscurity at some post can kill a career. Just as in business, if you are not noticed by the upper crust, you languish in middle management.

Past full colonel, everything is political...it's all about who you know and how well they perceive you. This idiot impressed some people w/serious power; making LtGen is not just a time in service promotion.

Makes me sick to see people of this high rank making incredibly stupid statements that can have a dramatic impact on the nation. I'm sure he'd be the first to squeal if he had to strip down before he got on a plane...I can hear it now..."Don't you know who I am?!!". My answer would be, "I don't care who you are, all I see is a potential terrorist, not drop 'em buddy, or off to jail you go."

18. Fox news apparently doesn't screen for KKK members before giving airtime...
Sure let's add another piece of shameful history to America's legacy so our future generations can bow their heads in shame. Slavery, racial profiling, religious profiling, women can't vote, blacks can't vote, gays can't marry, young children were forced to work in hazardous factories, etc etc. This man should have just worn his white hood for the interview. How about instead of using something as archaic as strip searching muslims, we take a step forward and develop new technology for airline screening. Fox should be ashamed to even welcome those ideas onto their network and into the public's homes. They are really dwindling their political base to only the most extreme fringe racist lunatics.

24. I actually think some use of profiling makes sense.
If you're flying on a middle-eastern or north African passport, or have a Yemeni or Somali entry/exit stamp in your passport, you should probably face some pretty intense scrutiny before you get on a flight inbound to the U.S. I also think it would make sense to edit the current watch-lists--they're obviously completely useless if they've got 500,000 names on them and they're not cross indexed in any usable way.

26. since the US is killing far more people than al-Qaeda ever did,
should all other countries strip search Americans when they fly into their country?

34. When did I advocate strip searching?
I said "intense scrutiny." That might lead to a direct physical search, or it might not. Anyway, it's a false equivalence. If a fringe group of ideologically-driven Americans started trying to sneak explosives onto planes and blow them up, then sure--Americans might reasonably subject to additional security measures when boarding international flights. It would make perfect sense--certainly more sense than TSA indiscriminately strip-searching everyone, women and children and 80-year-old grannies alike.

49. Perhaps
but to be fair they'd have to narrow things down and only strip search members of the US military since they are the ones killing more than Al-Qaeda.

32. I know lots and lots of Muslims - none of whom are extremist.


Most of America's 7 million Muslims are decent, hardworking people who live quite lives and sacrifice for their children's future. In fact most are very loyal to America and these days most are loyal Democrats. Nothing horrifies them more than hearing about some kind of terrorist attack

I've spent close to half my life in the Islamic world and I have never felt safer or been treated kinder and with greater respect.

I'm sure that it would be darned near impossible these days to fly on a plane almost anywhere to almost anywhere without at least one or more Muslims on board.

41. Detroit Progressive...
That was one of the most un-progressive and un-factual things to say. The extremists ARE NOT the majority. In any given Muslim country 95% of the population are working families, students attending universities, farmers, sheepherders, etc The moderates far outweigh the lunatic fringe. 99% of them would love to live in a safe secure country free from terrorism. They have Al-Qaeda, we have RW evangelical abortion clinic bombers.

56. There is a famous photo of a 13-year-old boy grabbed by Waffen SS outside the Warsaw Ghetto
In front of a crowd they were going to pull down his pants and underwear to see if his penis was circumcised, proving he was a Jew. This is where Joe Lieberman and the Republican Party are taking America.

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me--
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Shame on you Fox, Shame on you Rupert Murdoch and shame on you Joe Lieberman!!!!!!!!!

57. Um... how do you figure out who's Muslim?
I mean, any potential terrorist passing security with this regulation in place would likely say that they were some other religion, right?

Of course what they really mean is "Anyone who LOOKS Muslim".

That's what the TSA is supposed to be doing. Do you get the feeling he stands on the curb of his town with a loaded gun
wearing a flag shirt ? Sometimes people have the ability to talk intelligently but their thought process is not so.

We only have over a billion peaceful and productive Muslims in the world, and some radicals as bad as our Christian ID, Nazi, and other KKK oriented rabble. Hell, let's just all fly naked, that is a solution, yes?

What an idiot this guy is, and a fool.
