Can you post a link to the complete unedited video? Be nice if posters could make a reasoned decision minus some crafty editing designed to skew opinion.

Negative ghostrider. Just what is it you do to pay the bills?

I don't make any attempts to glam up the IRA. I see them in the same light as I do any other terrorists. Just the same a measure of a democracy is not how it treats the average citizen, its how it treats its worst. The happenings at H block speak to that concept, just the same as it does with the current scandel.
As to the general tone of your text. Do a little research in to Hamas funding that originates in the UK. Israel in the past had asked the UK govt to crackdown on terrorist fundraising efforts as the UK was the largest overseas source of funding. You mention extradition. I will look up your example if you look up
DR.Robert Kleasen. For 29 years the US sought his extradition for a double murder. He recently passed of natural causes and thus escaped proper justice. I dont know if Usama Bil Laden will be captured. I only hope your guys dont get him as its been said by high officials in the UK that he wont be extradited to the US if the death penalty is a possible outcome.

Thanks for the clarification. The article you pasted, do you know anything about it other than having read it? Trying to figure out what your burden of proof is.
Being a commuter out of San Diego I underwent the same as the 747 pilot you mention. Far from the drama queen like sob stories, my experience has been less traumatic. I fit the same profile as he did for the same reasons. Received the same scrutiny, yet came away less scarred. On my way in a few minutes.
Security dimwits...nope no terrorist would ever think of dressing up as a pilot. I am probably treading on thin ice by even saying this much but a number of US airline crews have been surveiled while overseas. And not by local authorities either. Hotel rooms have been broken in to and uniforms and more importantly airline ID stolen. Enough said, this comes from info in the public domain.
As to the tourists picking destinations other than the US, smaller crowds for me when I venture to Disneyland in a few weeks. Been to Honolulu lately? The amount of tourists there has only increased by my man on the street observations.
