police work

[Michael Eisenstadt]

I must say that the FBI letter to all the legal Arab
residents seems to be good police work. Hundreds are 
leaving, some out of paranoia, others because they 
would flunk the interview. 

The first batch of questions will be to compile
a dossier of the location of all of the 
interviewee's family including phone numbers.

Then they will be asked about their friends'
identity.

Those who were active fundamentalists BEFORE 9-11 
will refuse to answer lest the cops roll up their 
networks.

Those that merely knew fundamentalists BEFORE 9-11 
may provide useful information about the activists.

Just as Irish Americans contributed to the IRA in
Irish bars, Arab Americans also contributed to 
their analogous IRAs throughout all the Arab hoods 
in the country.
