‘John Doe’ protection: Schumer hesitates, Hillary evades

by  • 

The New York Sun reports:

Senator Schumer would not commit to backing legislation that would give added legal protection to people who report suspicious activities, but he said yesterday that he “generally supports protecting whistleblowers.”

City lawmakers are pushing Mr. Schumer and Senator Clinton to support a measure that passed in the House giving civil immunity to those who report possible terrorist activity. Rep. Peter King of Long Island introduced the motion, known as the John Doe amendment, after the Council on American-Islamic Relations filed a lawsuit on behalf on six imams who were removed from a USAirways flight in November.

“I’d have to give it a look,” Mr. Schumer told The New York Sun. “I generally support protecting whistleblowers.”

Mrs. Clinton’s Senate office has not responded to requests for comment on the matter.

Islamofascists, War on Terror

Heeding the terrorists’ cry

Cal Thomas sees the plot by the ‘Fort Dix 6’ as a growing domestic threat and offers some advice in the San Antonio Express today:

The usual groups issue the predictable statements condemning the alleged terrorist plot at Fort Dix, repeating that Islam is a “peaceful religion.” Recall that the late Yasser Arafat, chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization, repeatedly condemned terrorist attacks he either helped instigate or inspired.

It is more prudent to pay attention to what terrorists say and do rather than to what the sophisticated, media-savvy conveyers of disinformation tell us.
