4. The Arab American Institute's position on the war on terror, as stated on its website aaiusa.org, is "The U.S. should not use these terrible actions [on Sept. 11] to impose policies on other countries and avoid discussing how U.S. policies have contributed to conditions that encourage terrorism."
How seriously should this organization's accusations that the NSEERS program has "created chaos and fear" be taken? Explain your answer.

5. Does the statement that "14,000 [foreign visitors] were placed in deportation proceedings" lead you to believe that the program is doing a good job of turning away potential troublemakers and terrorists, or that the program has unfairly denied 14,000 innocent foreigners the right to visit the U.S.? Explain your answer.

6. Some would say "It's unfair to target people from specific countries." Others would say "We're on the right track - we should have been registering people from these countries long ago." What do you say? Why?
