The patriot speaks some truth... westerners are being recruited to slide through national security. However youre talking about USA and its world respected freedoms that it offers. But isnt the freedom to worship and practise faith one of those freedoms that USA is world respected for? So to ban all religion.. wouldnt be free thing to do..would it? sounds like communism... what would happen to one that would practise religion if you run the show Bachrach. Like ive written in articles further down the page Islam and chirstianity as well as judaism can live in peace. History proves so. The idea we cant is a new established ideology played on its called.. the clash of civilisations..

Gen. Hayden is not the only U.S. official to comment in recent months on the growing threat posed by terrorist recruits with European backgrounds. These suspects may carry European passports, which make them eligible for instant U.S. tourist visas simply by showing up at an American entry port. Earlier this year Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff told the BBC, "I have to say the biggest threat comes from overseas, and one of the places we are increasingly worried about is Europe."
U.S. officials have been trying to come up with new ways to gather additional information on European travelers that won't cause headaches or delays for those coming to the United States. One idea under consideration: requiring foreigners to apply online for tourist visas several days in advance of their flights to the United States. This would give authorities more information about visitors and more time to check them out before they arrived. But the idea is controversial. In addition to gathering intel on possible terrorists, it would also give U.S. agencies a means of building vast new databases of personal information on all foreign travelers.
