Yeaaaah... uh. Hmmm.In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Michael ChertoffDirector of the Department of Homeland Security., who arrives in Britain tomorrow for talks with John Reid, the Home Secretary, said the US was determined to build extra defences against so-called "clean skin" terrorists from Europe.
Of course, we know what you're talking about, Mr. Chertoff, but after 40 years of wholesale societal repudiation regarding the practice of judging people by their skin color (to which your degree of "skin cleanliness" is naturally misconstrued as being merely a euphemism), perhaps we should find another physical feature to use as a wink wink nudge nudge say no more shibboleth of Muslim terrorists that doesn't have quite the cringe factor.
I mean, seriously: "Clean skin"? Dude, c'mon.
