Now, I'm not big on being "PC" for the sake of being "PC". But here's an interesting article from the NY Post. (http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/50669.htm) Dov Hikind, a Brooklyn DEMOCRAT, says that random bag checking in NYC subways and transit systems is "insane." He believes that the NYPD has to use racial profiling for the searches to possibly save lives. He believes in using the "terrorist profile" to target searches of Middle Eastern men and women. This may be a reminder to the Japanese of the WWII internment camps that were set up, which was obviously a more extreme way of dealing with a problem of this kind. I'll let you all come to your own conclusions.In other news, John Bolton was appointed to the post of UN Ambassador by President Bush today. In what's known as a "recess appointment" Bush used his constitutional authority to place Bolton in this position without the confirmation by Congress. The recess appointment will last until January 2007, the end of the current Congress.
