    never said you would. but the person i originally quoted was acting like those posters were put up so people could look around their neighborhood for the wanted men. if that was the case, the posters would most likely be put up in convenience stores, not airports.

    that was sarcasm. becos no, i dont think the chances of an american spotting any of those people exist at all. they are not in countries where americans will be travelling for the holidays. and i honestly think to the majority of american, they all look alike anyway. nobody's going to be chilling at jfk, see that poster, touch down in san juan and go "son of a bitch! it's number 32! call the cia!"

    this is fucking ridiculous.

    yeah, the whole idea of the posters is rediculous. and i agree with you, the chances of someone looking at those posters and then seeing one of those people are next to nil...............but even if there is the slimmest chance and it happens to nab one of them, then that'd be good, no?

    i'm just having a hard time understanding why people would be upset about this issue. seems childish to be starting a stink about it.

    Because it boosts an irrational fear for political reasons and makes it seem as if it should be at the top of the priority list. Why are there no posters warning about the dangers of the tons of other things out there that are much more deadly and more likely to effect us?
