Why is someone like Rep. Howard Coble (R-NC), who thinks the Japanese internment during WWII was a good idea — because it was for the Japanese-Americans’ own safety — the head of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security?
Is that what he thinks homeland security is all about?
More on this here, with numerous posts further up the page.

Perhaps it’s something in the water, but another R-NC, Sue Myrick, is in hot water for drawing the 7/11-9/11 connection.
Myrick’s comments came during a speech to the conservative Heritage Foundation last week about what she called Americans’ lack of readiness to deal with future terrorist attacks. During a question-and-answer session, she spoke about danger within the country.
“You know, and this can be misconstrued, but honest to goodness (husband) Ed and I for years, for 20 years, have been saying, `You know, look at who runs all the convenience stores across the country.’ Every little town you go into, you know?”
