Found a good "Word of Caution" link? Let Us Know!
It is easy to jump to
conclusions in the heat of the moment, but sometimes those conclusions are
wrong. Sometimes those conclusions are dead wrong, and "Oops!" or even "I'm
sorry" does nothing to alleviate the circumstances and experiences of the
victim. I can think of few things worse than the intentional destruction of
person(s) or property - only to find out later that the motivation for this
destruction was in error. Once done, it must be lived with... can your
conscience handle that?
Mistaken Identity of Sikh, Sikhs
The Sikhs suffered the most when the angry Americans harassed them
considering the Sikhs the followers of Osama Bin Laden who according to the
Americans is the manipulator of the terrorist attacks in U.S. In this book
an effort is made to clarify that the Sikhs do not belong to Laden group and
they are mistaken as such because the Sikhs also keep beards and tie turbans
as Laden and Taliban do. This small resemblance has made the Sikhs target.
The Sikhs on a whole are very much different from them and are the nicest
people, cooperative and helpful. They should be viewed from a wider angle
and should not be made a prey of hate wave against Taliban or Arab
terrorists because the Sikhs have a separate, distinct entity and identity.
A Run on Terror - The rising cost of fear
itself Posted on Thursday,
March 4, 2004. Originally from Harper's Magazine, March 2004. By Luke
Mitchell. Terror, like ecstasy, tends to magnify perceptions. Just as
affection becomes adoration in the physical act of love, so too does
vigilance sometimes become morbid obsession in the face of spectacular
violence. To be effective, this normal function of survival must also be
temporary. It is now more than two years since our own national incident of
spectacular violence, however, and although the United States remains
obsessed, it is not unfair, or even insensitive, to begin considering the
events of September 11 from a more detached perspective.
FBI Problems Led to Wrongful Terror Arrest Inspector General's
Report Blames Faulty Forensic Analysis, But Says Patriot Act Was Not Misused
By JASON RYAN: WASHINGTON, Jan. 6, 2006 — A Justice Department inspector
general report found that problems with FBI forensic analysis and
performance led to the mistaken arrest of an Oregon man as a suspect in the
March 11, 2004, Madrid train bombings.
Mistaken Identity: After 9/11, the Transportation Security
Administration started compiling a list of people with possible ties to
terrorist organizations. If they tried to fly, they would be flagged in a
database, questioned and detained. Problem is, a lot of people who've ended
up on the "no-fly list" have no connection whatsoever to terrorism, but get
questioned and delayed all the same.
