Oh and FYI, your colour-coded terror alert system is still in effect, although a review panel created by Bush admin has leveled plenty of criticism about its effetiveness since and is reviewing the system yet again.
Well, you're right. Obama said he was getting rid of it and I guess I should know better than to believe him.
As to our media...are you paying attention? They are very reluctant to use Muslim names when speaking of people who get arrested for terror-related crimes. Whenever possible they use the person's name from before they became a Muslim, such as in the case of 'John Walker-Lindh' whose legal name is actually Sulayman al-Faris.
Myself, I find it ironically disrespectful of the media not to use someone's preferred name when speaking of them.
