The FBI shares your outraged concern about non-Christian religious fanaticism. We also share President Bush's opinion that this time of national mourning provides a golden opportunity to market our religious beliefs to a public yearning for reasons to explain this tragedy – and, apparently, too shell-shocked to quibble over plausibility.

Because the Bureau specializes in generating after-the-fact paperwork, we already have the answer to your question: "What would a potential terrorist most likely look like, dear?" After viewing over 18 hours of surveillance camera tapes from a convenience store in Boston and a "Chadors & More!" shop in Amman, a Bureau sketch artist has generated the following composite of what a typical male from the Middle East looks like. Please keep it in your expensive handbag, next to your firearm, for reference.
