Army Intelligence Gathering Upsets Islamic Moonbats at University of Texas
2004-02-15
EFL & Moonbattery
University of Texas liberal law students and professors are questioning the actions of two very good Army intelligence agents who roamed the school halls Monday looking for a roster of attendees at a recent conference on Islamic law and sexism.
If you have nothing to hide, then why the concern over a couple of America’s finest doing some window-shopping?
The agents left without the roster, and the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command says it is investigating the incident.
They were doing thier job. Move along. Nothing to investigate.
Jessica Biddle, a third-year law student from Houston, was questioned by Special Agent Jason Treesh in the office of the Texas Journal of Women and the Law, where she is co-editor. The journal had donated money for the conference and reserved a courtroom at the law school for the Feb. 4 event.
Not a bad place to start: follow the money.
"I thought it was outrageous. He was asking questions intimidating and was using the element of surprise to try to get information out of us, which was wholly inappropriate," Biddle said. "The conference was an academic conference, totally benign and not focused on foreign policy."
That’s what they all say!
Aziz, an Arab-American who grew up in Dallas, said she was still on campus Monday when she began getting phone messages from friends at the law school that military intelligence officers were looking for her. "I was flustered and suffered a lot of anxiety that they would come to my house that night," said Aziz. "I kept wracking my brain, `Did anything happen at the conference?’"
‘Did anything happen at the conference?’ ...Well that’s what they were there to see, no? Why the panic attack dear?
Aziz said she’s nervous saddened that the incident may reinforce some people’s suspicions of terrorists Muslims that arose after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. And, she said it may foster distrust among Muslims of the U.S. government.
Fred...good to see some of your counterparts are on the job!

#5  The intelligence agents should pose as journalists.

Unless Bush has changed things, that would be illegal. Apparently reporters are so critically important to the future of civilization, only terrorists and the enemies of the US are allowed to impersonate them.

#4  The intelligence agents should pose as journalists. I bet these fine people who have nothing to hide whatsoever would only be too glad to blab every detail and spell every name to a friendly reporter-type who wants to spread the word of how wonderful and fair Islamic law is.

For bonus points, tell 'em you're a Beeb reporter. I guarantee they won't shut up.

Oh my GOD!!. They held a gun on you?!?!

They didn't?

They had supoenas?

They didn't?

Then kindly explain to the rest of us non-elites how two soldiers sworn to uphold the Constitution intimidated you.

And by the way dearie; It was Muslims who used the element of surprise on 3,000 of your fellow American citizens. I wouldn't use the word surprise with reference to simple questions.

#2  Ooohhh, so skeery! Hold me Jessica! You too, Sahar (Aziz)! Closer! Even closer! Lol! Okay, now you put your ankle here and you put your head there and... Yeah, that's the ticket!

These people are, per the fear-mongering academia script, playing out their outraged LLL parts, just as the Army Intel is doing its job. Melike what the intel guys are doing.

Profiling = good sense. When we are attacked by the Anasazi or the Atlanteans, they will get interviewed, as well. Thanks, guys.

Meanwhile, Muslims, you can choose to cooperate with the Gov't's logical attempts to gather intel and protect America - or not. Cooperation will get you an interview and honesty in it will get you a clean bill of health. Not cooperating or being dishonest will get you a proctology exam. So many choices! 'tards.

Isn't that what freaking lawyers try to do to everybody else. Turnabout is fair play I always say
