Basically, because they can't account for the real terrorists, they're grabbing anyone they can. When we all know that the REAL terrorists aren't the ones that are going to get caught in something like this.



I guess, the INS works on the principle that even expert terrorists have to have support teams backing them up and gettng them money for their operations via "underground cells" such as visiting foreign students, visitors etc..

So, their logic goes, if we lock up anyone who's not a known terrorist, but who might be sympathetic to their cause, then we are "destroying" all these underground terrorist support cells, and thus staving off more attacks...

I'd bet they don't have enough internment camps in the entire US to lock up the entire "suspect sympethiser" population in the US, but it seems they are going to have a jolly good go at doing exactly this.

It sounds like the Vietnam war rheoteric - "I have to burn this village to save it"
