Excerpt:
The Obama administration is working to calibrate policies in the fight against terrorism that ensure Americans are "never" profiled, stated President Obama's counter-terrorism advisor, John Brennan.
Speaking at a question-and-answer session for Muslim law students last week at New York University, Brennan declared himself a "citizen of the world."
"We need to be looking at ourselves as individuals. Not the way we look or the creed we have or our ethnic background. I consider myself a citizen of the world," he said.
Brennan told the audience the Obama administration is trying to "make sure that we as Americans can interact in a safe way, balance policies in a way that optimizes national security but also optimizes the opportunity in this country never to be profiled, never to be discriminated against."
