Now that Congress has returned from summer recess, it should take up an issue the Bush administration prominently addressed in June: racial profiling. Declaring that it was fulfilling the president's campaign pledge to end profiling, the administration "banned" the discredited practice by issuing a policy "guideline." Unfortunately, the guideline neither bans profiling nor keeps the president's promise. It serves as a first step, but racial profiling will end only if Congress steps in to complete the job.
