" I was not surprised when so many of my fellow citizens lost their minds in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 atrocities. I wasn&amp;#039;t even surprised when so many of our elected leaders lost their minds in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 atrocities. What alarms me now is that it seems like everybody and his damn brother went out of their minds in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 atrocities. Being of Irish descent, the concept of cooler-heads-prevailing is rather foreign to me, but, Jesus H. Christ on the severability question, who thought it would be a good idea to counter a modern, transnational terrorist threat by throwing together a rancid old stew made up of racial and ethnic stereoptypes that had passed their sell-by dates around the time that Dr. John H. Watson was medevac&amp;#039;ed out of Afghanistan and packed away home to England? Leave aside the obvious fact that the Bill Of Rights was rather an afterthought here, it can&amp;#039;t have been a good idea to inculcate FBI trainees with notions of the wider world apparently drawn from old Republic adventure films. A sample of that possibly harmful training comes from a document on &amp;quot;Establishing Relationships,&amp;quot; which instructed: &amp;quot;Never attempt to shake hands with an Asian. Never stare at an Asian. Never try to speak to an Arab female prior to approaching the Arab male first.&amp;quot; Another document, titled &amp;quot;Control and Temper,&amp;quot; contrasted the &amp;quot;Western Mind&amp;quot; with that of the &amp;quot;Arab World.&amp;quot; The &amp;quot;Western&amp;quot; mind possessed an &amp;quot;even keel&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;outbursts&amp;quot; of emotion were &amp;quot;exceptional.&amp;quot; In the &amp;quot;Arab World,&amp;quot; by contrast, &amp;quot;Outburst and Loss of Control [is] Expected.&amp;quot; A bullet point below asked, &amp;quot;What&amp;#039;s wrong with frequent Jekyll &amp;amp;amp; Hyde temper tantrums?&amp;quot; Bear in mind that we now have a generation of FBI agents whose basic training included this nonsense. It is part of who they are as law-enforcement agents. I&amp;#039;m surprised that the FBI didn&amp;#039;t hire consultants who taught trainees to look for Chinese agents in a laundry.
