Subject: [K-list] very short reply to Yahoo O'Clery

I was bothered by his post -- both re its limited/narrow perspective
and also its inaccuracies -- but decided it wasn't worth the time
and energy to respond . . . but then I read a marvelous review
and sidebar in today's LA Times on the subject
[ go to www.latimes.com and search for West+Wing+Rosenberg ]
and decided to share just a few thoughts.
The White House staff person who was detained
had the same **name** as a known terrorist.
This point was brought out in an early scene.
Perhaps O'Clery missed that data item.
His detention wasn't based on his *appearance*.
The plot device allowed for regular character Leo [John Spencer]
to offer him an apology after the misidentification was cleared up,
something his character does not, as a rule, do . . .
as well as some marvelously insightful dialog
re what "Arab-looking" people are faced with these days.
The various pronouncements made by White House staff
were each in character.
The statements were not "of a piece" but were portraying
their own personal points of view, in character.
There's more but I have more important things to do this morning.
