Christopher Hitchens is trying to raise American's awareness of the internal threat of religious fanatics. He has given attention to pedophile priests awarded Vatican cover from the law, and he now turns his attention to "Your Black Muslim Bakery's thuggery". That seems wise, since Europe is currently having a devil of a time with "home-grown terrorists".
Terrorists, it seems, are not nice, law-abiding citizens looking to work hard, fit in, and afford a home of their own someday. They take short-cuts. They establish a beach-head and then milk the underground economy for drug and extortion money. Their victims are usually law-abiding citizens looking to work hard, fit in, and afford a home of their own someday.
This is why president Clinton believes you catch terrorists with police work. This is why he put 100,000 more cops on the street. This is why it is important to have equal protection under the rule of law.
Y.B.M.B.
This chronic lack of respect for citizen complaints regarding lawlessness seems matched only in ineptitude by political undersight. In the aftermath of 9/11 (and 7/7) it is a dangerous level of incompetence to maintain.
