Re: Welcoming new terrorists every day

Before you read the column below, I heard Sen. John McCain on the Don Imus show this morning say that only two countries are refusing to give us the passenger lists of their commercial jets that come into the USA: Saudi Arabia and Egypt. McCain said that we should prohibit such flights from landing here if they won't give the lists. My question is: Why are we allowing any commercial flights from these countries and a bunch of other Mideast countries that sponsor terrorism to land her at all, passenger lists or not?
