ACLU sais let suspected terrorists in
In yet another move by the ACLU to undermine the security of our country, today's New York Times reports they are coming to the aid of 2 suspected terrorists in Pakistan. Muhammad Ismail, a 45-year-old naturalized citizen born in Pakistan, and his 18-year-old son, Jaber Ismail, who was born in the United States recently tried to return to the United States after 4 years in Pakistan only to find out they were on the Terrorist Watch List.
Back in April of this year Muhammad's nephew Hamid Hayat was convicted of supporting terrorists by attending a Pakistani training camp. In an interview with FBI agents following his arrest Hayat informed them that his cousin Jaber Ismail had also attending a Pakistani training camp. Apparently the ACLU doesn't feel this is reason enough to have Ismail on the terrorist watch list.
Federal authorities said that the men, both Lodi residents, would not be allowed back into the country unless they agreed to FBI interrogations in Pakistan. Jaber has since met with officials at the US Embassy in Pakistan, however his father refuses to do so. When asked to take a polygraph test, Jaber refused.
Now lets get one thing straight... this is not a case of profiling. The FBI received information that Jaber had attending a Pakistani Terrorist Training camp. Now here comes this young man trying to return to the United States after being in Pakistan for 4 years doing "religious study". I applaud the FBI and Department of Homeland Security for denying him access to this country until he submits to a polygraph test to determine if he has indeed attending a terrorist training camp.
The ACLU on the other hand believes "They want to come home and have an absolute right to come home," according to Julia Harumi Mass a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union. An absolute right?? The term absolute right reflects rights that cannot be taken away, such as Freedom of Speech, and Freedom of Religion. Suspected terrorists DO NOT have an absolute right to enter this country, even if they are US citizens!
Jaber Ismail sais he has never attending a terrorist training camp, the FBI sais take a polygraph test and testify to that affect and we will let you back in the country. Ismail sais no. Does he have something to hide? Has he indeed been attending a terrorist training camp these last 4 years in Pakistan? Is he coming back to the US with intentions of killing innocent citizens? Who knows?
But until we DO know for sure... would anyone feel comfortable letting him enter our country?
