A Potentially Dangerous Lawsuit

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is suing the store clerk that alerted the authorities about the intentions of the Fort Dix, New Jersey, terrorist plotters. The One News Now article does not say what the suit is about but my hunch it's about violation of privacy. I am thinking CAIR is saying that the clerk violated the terrorist plotters civil rights. Just a guess.

For those who don't know CAIR is the Islamic version of the ACLU. Unlike the store clerk CAIR is definitely not looking out for America. They are only looking out for interests of militant Muslims.

This store clerk should be given a commendation from the city, state and federal gov'ts for his patriotic act. Good for him. This behavior should be encouraged not discouraged. Then you have the New York Times implying that the clerk is an informant and that informants cannot be trusted. First, informants usually work for law enforcement and even newspapers and TV news stations. This clerk did not work for either. He was just an alert person doing his civic responsibility. Two, it's funny when New York Times criticizes informants when they probably use them too. If informants (the news media calls them sources) cannot be trusted then what does that say about news stories that use them for information? Especially, if the sources are unnamed. If people are afraid to report suspicious activity like this then we are all in trouble. The Islamofascists are playing for keeps.
