An article on the BBC makes a good example of how FUD have taken over US politics and life. It also shows how stupid people can be:
The Arabic TV channel al-Jazeera will not film a report about the US-Mexico border after a civilian border patrol group condemned the idea.
The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, an anti-immigration organisation that patrols the border in Arizona, called al-Jazeera a “terrorist TV station”.
The group’s leader said allowing al-Jazeera to film would be like aiding an enemy scouting mission.
Al-Jazeera said the group’s reaction was a blow to press freedom.
…..
The station’s proposal to film prompted a complaint to the US Department of Homeland Security, and drew political criticism.
“It is insane policy to allow al-Jazeera to film Arizona’s unsecured border with Mexico and then broadcast it to the very people who perpetrated 9/11,” said Trent Franks, a Republican Congressman for Arizona.
On its website, the minutemen portrayed the decision to cancel filming as an “anti-terrorism victory”.
“The world’s most prolific terrorism television network has cancelled its recon operation at the Arizona/Mexico border,” the group said in a statement.
Minuteman President Chris Simcox added: “I’ll have no part in aiding and abetting the enemy, and will continue to work to protect our country from terrorists who are clearly looking at our unsecured borders as the pathway to destroy America.”
I think no further explanation is necesarry. It’s morons like this that made the world like it is today.
