American Arabs concerned over FBI's 'October Plan'

[neomonkey]

BEIRUT: The Arab American Institute has expressed concern over recent reports that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have already or soon will be enacting an aggressive new initiative, the so-called "October Plan."

According to news reports, the initiative will include "aggressive - even obvious - surveillance" of individuals "suspected of being terrorist sympathizers, but who have not committed a crime," said a statement released Tuesday by the AAI. Furthermore, "other 'persons of interest,' including their family members, may also be brought in for questioning," and "mosques will be revisited and members asked whether they've observed any suspicious behavior."

They tell us it's just Arabs...so as not to rile up the right-wing libertarians, but do we honestly believe they'll draw the line anywhere?

2. uhh...an OCTOBER plan?!

October?!?!

Why October???

Of all months?

And why THIS October? We've been at war with terrah now for 3 years.

Do they need to dredge up some arrests to give Ashcroft some perp-walk photo ops and a chance to interrupt some broadcoasts?

5. Part of their "Suppress the Vote" Drive

Think a lot of people might be "brought in for questioning"
on Election Day? Think the "questioning" might last until
after the polls are closed?
