Chase Must Hire From The Same Pool As AOL...And The Shallow End At That

Army Vet Gets 'Bomber' Credit Card Offer

CORONA, Calif. (AP) - The address was his, but the name on the credit-card offer took Sami Habbas by surprise: "Palestinian Bomber.""I thought it was a joke or something," said Habbas, 54, a Palestinian American who served in the U.S. Army. Habbas opened the letter, and the salutation read "Dear Palestinian Bomber."
When he called the company, JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), provided his ZIP code and invitation number, two operators said to him: "Yes, Mr. Bomber, what can we do for you?"
The Council on American-Islamic Relations in Washington, D.C., has asked Chase for a formal apology.
"The most important thing is to make sure this doesn't happen again, to any American, regardless of their race or religion," said Sabiha Khan, spokeswoman for the Muslim civil liberties group in Southern California.

This'd be funny...come ON now but who hasn't received something ridiculous in the mail...were it nor for CAIR getting it's little head-chopping-virgin-craving self involved. Chase will formally apologize, but if it were MY company I'd ask CAIR to first formally apologize for the horrors perpetrated by the cult it so fervently serves. Just a thought.
