FBI PLANS TO ROUND UP THOUSANDS OF IRAQIS LIVING IN THE US

Remember the Japanese-American internment camps during WWII? Well, check this out:

Working from an initial list of some 50,000 Iraqi nationals living in the United States, the FBI has winnowed that number to about 11,000 who would be targeted for interviews in the event of a war, a senior FBI official said.

And there's also this little gem:

Although Bush administration officials do not emphasise it publicly, U.S. intelligence and counter-terrorism experts are in broad agreement that a war in Iraq will dramatically increase the chances of terrorist attacks against U.S. targets.

I'll say this again: waging war on Islamic populations will cause more, not less, terrorism.

We ought to call it the "War to Cause More Terrorism."
