Today's Philosophical Bon-Bon

Ponder the following bit of mental gymnastics, provided courtesy of the Democratic Party this past week:

It is wrong to wiretap phone calls or other forms of electronic communication made from Dubai and the United Arab Emirates to the United States or other countries because it is unreasonable to assume that, because a person or business is based in the UAE, that they support and/or have links to terrorism.

However, it is wrong for a person or business based in the UAE to manage ports secured by the US military because it is reasonable to assume that, because they are based in the UAE, they support and/or have links to terrorism.
