Napolitano retorts, "You've got to use actual intelligence that you receive...All you've given me is status, not a technique, a tactic, a behavior."
Of course, Al Qaeda is also aware of profiling and has tried to make a point of recruiting people who are not Arab-looking. Think blond hair, blue-eyed American Colleen LaRose (aka Jihad Jane), American and Al Qaeda senior operative Adam Pearlman, or American and Taliban soldier John Walker Lindh.
