Remember Rick Santorum?

The former Pennsylvania senator, It Takes a Family author and one-time poster-boy for the conservative Christian movement appeared on Fox News yesterday with a few suggestions about how the Western World should go about identifying the terrorists in our midst. And here’s a hint: It’s got nothing to do with warrantless wiretapping.

From the transcript:

The bottom line is, we need to identify who this enemy is. You know, I’m an Italian-American. If all the people that have been doing all these things were Italian-Americans who look like me, you know what?

Then we should identify them as Italians who are the folks who are behind all this, and that there’s something involved in this particular group that we should be aware of. We should study them. We should understand what they’re all about. And we should then just have that frank discussion with the American people, and we’re not doing that. And as a result, we’re letting our guard down, in my opinion, and we’re not focusing on where the problem is.

Nothing like a little racial profiling to bolster our standing in the world…
