Feature article today http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/28/national/28pilot.html tells the woeful tale of one Juan Carlos Merida, a Panamanian, who apparently is on a government watch list because he had a number of "innocent" interactions with Zacarias Moussaoui (9/11 Hijacker #20). Apparently Mr. Merida cannot get the private jet pilot license he desires because his name appears on these lists.

Is this the best the Times can do, given all the evil that has allegedly taken place in the name of Bush/Ascroft/Cheny/Wolfowitz/Halliburton and various sinister neo-cons? One foreign national who helped out Moussaoui is having trouble getting a pilot certification? This is the best victim of our unilaterilst security policies that the Slimes can come up with?
Then our government is doing an even better, fairer job than I ever thought possible.
On another Times note, the COUNTERCOLUMN finds a case of the paper of record working feverishly to make good news about Iraq disappear from the public conciousness as quickly as possible http://iraqnow.blogspot.com/2005/03/amber-alert-missing-headline.html
