If you see something, say something.and prepare to get sued? We need John Doe protection. Period. <http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20070510-072407-2388r.htm> The New Jersey store clerk whose tip led to the arrest of six terror suspects needs legislative protection from being sued as a "John Doe" or whistleblower, lawmakers said yesterday. "The events in Fort Dix are just another reminder of the need for this legislation," said Rep. Steve Pearce, New Mexico Republican and author of legislation to protect "John Doe" passengers being sued by a group of Muslim imams for reporting their suspicious behavior. - M. Zuhdi Jasser, director of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, agrees that the FBI's arrests show the need to protect the principle of "see something, say something." "What if this 'John Doe' had contrarily chosen to be silent due to a fear of litigation?" Dr. Jasser said. Republican Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio and Homeland Security Committee Ranking Member Rep. Peter King of New York used a procedural tactic to add the Pearce language to a rail and transportation security bill in March. The amendment passed unanimously by Republicans and had bipartisan support from 105 Democrats. In the post 9-11 world protecting anti-terror whistleblowers from lawsuits ought to be the most uncontroversial thing in the world. But after the (f)lying imams fiasco, it's not. Some Democrats and CAIR are standing in the way. They need to be defeated and humiliated for that. All of us might need this protection some day, because we <http://hotair.com/archives/2007/03/28/i-am-john-doe/> 're all potential John Does.
