Self-inventory of potential terrorists?

Reader comment on item: [Fort Dix and] Jihad in Jersey

Submitted by joyce (United States), May 9, 2007 at 22:53

What is the point of asking potential immigrants about their attitudes towards America and admitting them only if they sound positively disposed towards this country? What terrorists wouldn't lie to pass such a test? After they've detonated a pizza van on a military base or shot up a shopping mall, shall we add the extra charge, "lied in the applicant interview"?
