Oh that makes me excited to fly. So if you were a muslim cleric, would you ever possibly consider showing sensitivity to the feelings of the people around you? Not if you were connected to a terrorist group and friends with Bin Laden you wouldn't. Notice how those connections never quite find their way into the news though.
Grrr. One of the most civic minded things that any of us can do between now and 2008 is to squeak and whine and wail and kick shins and send letters, to get these problems fixed. We do too have the technology to have a secure and transparent election system. Witness: Powerball tickets. The fact that these problems exist at all in this country indicates a lack of will, or worse.
