Domestic Intel: Now More Than Ever

Expect the normal hue and cry over this development, despite the common-sense nature at its core. That you would intentionally not take such factors into consideration (along with many others) is somewhat laughable given the stats. So they’re recruiting whitey, OK, so you’re going to ignore the tank in front of you because there is a sniper behind the tank?

The issue is not that we shouldn’t be asking such questions or considering such factors, it’s that a man with a badge and a gun is doing the asking. I won’t re-hash the issues the Bureau has long had WRT the intelligence business; suffice it to say that there are stronger bastions of capabilities that would most likely produce better results. That we are prohibited by law from turning those capabilities towards domestic threats leaves us with no alternative but to punt the mission to arguably the least capable entity. Good enough for gov’t work I guess.

The biggest problem with profiling Arabs/Muslims in the US is the risk of alienation and of destroying the good relations they have with domestic law enforcement.
