Mike recently sent out an email on interviews with young middle eastern men
scheduled nationally in the US-- I replied that this smacked of racial

make these interviews resemble simple information gathering, and they are
supposed to be "voluntary"--yet if a person doesn't comply at all, that
would certainly put one on a "suspicious persons" list. In addition, the
interviews ask that the interviewee turn over frequently-called numbers,
which then can easily go on a "wire tap" list. The men are allowed to have a
lawyer present (I don't know what happens if they can't afford one-- maybe
they provide a public defender. Some states and are currently debating how
far they want to comply with this controversial program. I thought you might
like to see the interview guidelines to judge for yourselves rather you
would find such an interview scary if you were among the 5000:
