#1 We can't tell you about anyone whose first and/or middle and/or last name is Mohammed, Muhamad, Mohamed, etc etc etc, lest we be accused of "profiling".

Of course the NEW census employees at the NEW location outside Washington may have REFORMED opinions after the old employees are dying of radiation poisoning in a building which glows in the dark.

#2 I note that the "sensitives" are on the job early to make certain they hinder law enforcement as much as humanly possible. I hope they are sorely disappointed and scream their bloody heads off when push comes to shove and various US agencies finally get the funding and political cover to cooperate.

It sure as hell won't be easy, it's hasn't happened since WWII, but it will be made possible when some asshole kills a bunch of Americans with something other than a gun. I don't want it to happen - but that won't affect the fact that it will happen. Then I see all the apologists and human rights specialists starting the usual litany of defensive claims, retreating from one line to the next, until there is no cover left. And shit finally happens - to them.

Like a lynching, maybe?

#4 Problem with non-defense civil service is that so many of them came to government service under Clinton and think he's still president. You can't fire the rank & file, but you can certainly clean house in the senior ranks. Long overdue. Remember these are the people who wanted to "adjust" the census numbers to account for minorities who were undercounted to make sure that these people who weren't there got their fair share of federal handouts.

#5 But the assistance sparked complaints from ethnic, privacy and civil rights groups that the Census Bureau was using its powers to aid law enforcement.

However, these same groups have no problem with using slack methods of census-taking, so that the Bureau can be use to benefit them...
