\_ boo hoo, terrorist boy gets nabbed by the FBI. That is exactly
how it is supposed to work.
\_ yup. China had that all worked out for DECADES.
\_ Only a russian jew would trade freedom for a "safe" and
"fair" system he can find the loopholes in.
\_ All I can say is it's a good thing she didn't call anyone a
"nigger" or call her roommate a "wetback" she would've gone
to jail for that.
\_ I must be missing something here, because it starts off with a
story about a girl and "Metal Gear Solid" then suddenly
switches to some guy from Yemen. Huh?
Not to meantion, so people from terrorist countries are checked
out more thoughorly nowdays. Big whup.
\_ Yemen is a terrorist country? I thought they were one of our
"important allies". Funny how muddled all this gets. Hey,
wasn't that federal building bombing in Oklahoma done by U.S.
citizens. Maybe we should start looking more closely at them
too. I know. Let's just start rounding up students. They
think about alot of different things, and some of those things
must be dangerous.
\_ A) Just because the goverment likes us, doesn't mean
everyone in the country does. Case and point: Saudi
Arabia. (The opposite is also true, say, Iraq.)
B) I didn't see you whining back when all the "militias"
we're getting checked out. Or even when Waco went down.
\_ this writer needs to go back to journalism school. they never
introduce "Kamal" until a paragraph AFTER referring to him with
third person pronouns...totally fucking confusing shit article. --aaron |

| www.aclunc.org/911/backlash/wu.html But the 22-year-old sophomore never imagined the trouble her talent would bring in the wake of Sept. Her story illuminates a paranoia so deep it even reached into a phone call between friends on the UC Berkeley campus. In the fall of 2001, Charlotte spent an early evening playing "Metal Gear Solid" with her roommate and some friends. But she had to leave early, and at around 9pm, she headed to her ground-floor dorm room, leaving the others in intense combat with the videogame gods. One of her friends was stalled at one of the game's more daunting levels. Charlotte told him, "You have to press this button and that button. She and her friends make macabre quips about their phones being tapped, but deep down they wonder if the government really is listening in. Her roommate answered a knock on the door as Charlotte headed for the bathroom. Thinking her roommate had forgotten her key, she opened the door wearing only her bathrobe. The officers allowed her to get dressed - with a female officer standing guard outside her door - then they headed across campus where the matter was resolved. Charlotte still doesn't know why the police visited or who brought them. Did someone walk by and hear the word bomb' through the open window? Charlotte learned later that the resident adviser told her roommate to leave the apartment. The police questioned that roommate, who is white, about Charlotte and her other roommates, one of whom, like Charlotte, is of Asian ancestry, the other Hispanic. Charlotte is leery now of what she says and how she behaves. She and her friends make macabre quips about their phones being tapped, but deep down they wonder if the government really is listening in on friendly conversations between videogame fans. |
