Citizens of America, prepare yourself for Operation: Irani Freedom. Apparently, in a dejavu-performance in front of the senate, Porter Goss (doesn't his name sound like he should be a character on The O.C. or Dawson's Creek?) stated that Iran is our biggest enemy in the Middle East. Check it out:

CIA, FBI Warn Panel of Top Threats to U.S..

What I find very amusing in a sad and pathetic way is the fact that not only are we supposed to fear the Iranians and the Iraqi insurgents (Syria is on our shit list too) we must fear the Muslim people in our country as well. Even the ones that have been here for years and years. You know that family that lives next door to your for 20 years and your kids play together? They could be a sleeper cell!!!

"FBI (news - web sites) Director Robert Mueller cautioned of the risk posed by radicalized Muslim converts inside the United States and said he worries about a sleeper operative who may have been in place for years, awaiting orders launch an attack. "I remain very concerned about what we are not seeing," he said in his prepared remarks.

The phrase "radicalized Muslim converts" is very problematic to me. Does that mean that the Black Muslims that sell oils and incense in the subway are to be feared also? The Nation of Islam are terrorists also? This is getting into weird territory. If we go after anyone that is Muslim then we go after Black people, then Asian people, Latinos can't be far off (or will Bush keep them around to do the jobs the white people don't want to do? Like become Mrs. George W. Bush?) Also, how do we know which Muslims are radicalized? Who becomes the judge on the criteria for radical Islamic belief and behavior? Our government? Perhaps that might anger Muslim people a bit if we start putting out a list of characteristics for radical Muslim terrorists. Jeff Foxworthy could deliver the public service announcement on television. For example, "You might be a radical Muslim convert if...." or "You know you're a Muslim terrorist sleeper cell when..."

The choice of words the CIA and FBI use are very important. The fact that Robert Mueller said, "I remain very concerned about what we are not seeing" tells America and the Senate that we must live in fear. Tragedy is around every corner and no one Muslim (and all its stereotyped population) can not be trusted.
