Interesting take on the situation. How would you characterize the conservatives that object to the proposition? Message #45523 from wstera_02 at 2/22/2006 7:28:37 PM Libs are almost unanimous in their adamant opposition to anything remotely approaching profiling. So how do they not see their hypocrisy with their knee-jerk opposition to an Arab country winning the port management contracts?

The funny thing is that I've not really taken a position on this controversy, but would prefer to have more data. I've also been critical of the administration's inability to get out in front of issues---not just this one. My primary comments have been to note the inconsistencies of positions taken by those of the knee-jerk liberal bent. I also glean that there are some Republican politicians who are raising questions most vociferously as a means to distance themselves from Bush, in light of his low poll numbers. All that being said, I think that people who express legitimate concerns over the proposal are entitled to voice them. I would, however, like concrete reasons as opposed to purely parochial or stereotypical analyses. I may even be inclined to agree that this was a bad idea....if I had more facts and time to find them..........or if the administration fails to make a more convincing case.
