Leprechaun, I think it's easy to fall into the 'us versus them' kind of thinking. And in this mode, it is you who is us and we who are them. (Follow that?)

You assume that we would cry foul and worse if 'you' were to pluck the investigated suspects off the street. (The operative word here is 'investigated'.) I don't believe that to be true. If the FBI, et al, had arrested anyone, whether Muslim or Buddhist, and told us what they found and on what grounds they had suspected villainy, I believe we would support them.

Look at Robert Hansen- we, the people, accepted the premise that he stole secrets for profit from his own country, because we were informed of the trail of evidence that led to him. I don't see much difference in our willingness to support them now.
