| PJs Media: Police Report, Passenger Reveals That Flying Imams Were Up to No Good |
| 2006-12-02 |
| Link was pretty slow but may be better now. More interesting links at article link such as original police report, passenger complaint letter, and some blogging. Verrry interesting indeed. The case of U.S. Airways flight 300 gets stranger by the minute. When six traveling Muslim clerics were asked to deplane last week, it looked like another civil rights controversy against post-9-11 airport security. Now new information is emerging that suggests it was all a stunt designed to weaken security…. Yesterday I spoke with a passenger on that flight, who asked that she be only identified as “Pauline.” A copy of airport police report, which I also obtained, supports Pauline’s account - and includes shocking revelations of its own. In addition, U.S. Airways spokeswoman Andrea Rader also confirmed much of what Pauline revealed….. The passenger, who asked that she only be identified as “Pauline,” said she is afraid to give her full name or hometown. She is spending the night at “another location” because she does not feel safe at home. She credits reports that one imam is apparently linked to Hamas. “It is scary because these men could be dangerous.” |

| #23 No problem, I just wanted to make sure that anyone arguing a case of profiling could be slapped down in an instant. |

| #22 Zenster, I was unaware of any other muslims on board. I only heard about the imams. |

| #21 Not everyone knows about Rantburg, sad to note. Knowing that most americans vote based on what they read in the local papers and local TV is frightening. Yes the media should be held accountable for reporting the whole truth, without embellishments. |

| #20 IIRC the price of biased reporting was 20% drop in NYT stock, no? |

| #19 To date, the best we can do is boycott those news sources which we deem as untrustworthy. The reduced viewing numbers and loss of advertising revenues will eventually result in replacement of those news anchors who prove unpopular and finally reach down to the programming teams and script writers who come up with this unadulterated horseshit. Farther downstream, there may well be much more serious repercussions at the hands of a betrayed and angry public when the unmitigated treason committed by these talking heads finally comes to light. Then the price will likely be far more costly than just job security. |

| #18 With freedom comes responsibility. When does the press face the consequences of their tilted reporting and lies of omission? Who can hold the press responsible in a meaningful fashion - i.e. fines, jail terms? |

| #17 you know they'll scream loudly For what a pack of spineless craven wankers they are, they'll probably scream like a bunch of little girls. |

| #16 CrazyFool: My definition of 'Press' (as in freedom of the press) includes presenting unbiased reporting. Thank You! That is a very interesting distinction, and one that I think the courts needs to define. What I wouldn't give to be able to classify most of the MSM as "Not Press", but Infotainment/Opinion Mongers/Propagandists. The harm that the media does is appalling, and you know they'll scream loudly when it all starts to come back on them. |

| #15 It does seem they all knew each other, doesn't it? Maybe, maybe not. |

| #14 like the passengers cheering the removal of these clerics from the plane. Don't leave out the important details, Broadhead6: Other Muslim passengers were left undisturbed and later joined in a round of applause for the U.S. Airways crew. “It wasn’t that they were Muslim. It was all of the suspicious things they did,” Pauline said. I'm confident that this important fact will be omitted in the media's rush to paint this as yet another case of Muslim profiling. We are rapidly approaching the time when a government sponsored "Media Fairness" agency will need to be set up whereby commerically broadcast media can be assessed for bias or omission of fact. The government can rightfully use its own channels to disseminate accounts of when and where mainstream media has distorted or left out vital details that skew the public's perception of key issues, especially those related to national security. Dan Rather's utterly biased and untruthful (to be polite) attempt to smear Bush during a presidential election cycle must forever stand as a watershed moment in when the media became a public enemy. |

| #13 I heard Pauline on Hannity this week. Pretty composed & well spoken lady. She talked about the seat belt extenders and the passengers cheering when the six klingers were escorted off that bird. As for the MSM, I wish there was a way to sue them for everytime they publish a story that omits key pieces of info - like the passengers cheering the removal of these clerics from the plane. |

| #12 Maybe they can get together with the good folk from Westboro Baptist to compare notes on handling unruly crowds. It'd be a match made in heaven. |

| #11 There is no doubt at all that this was premeditated. Probably cooked up at the conference they attended. The good news is this has backfired on the f**kers. Most people now days know they can not rely on MSM for any reliable information. I fully expect that shortly, incidents of this sort will result in brawls, whereby the "peaceful" muzzies will be beaten to within an inch of their worthless lives. And, when the cops arrive, no one will have seen anything. |

| #10 Mick, My definition of 'Press' (as in freedom of the press) includes presenting unbiased reporting. It does not include being a government announcer (that's Snow's job) nor does it include being an enemy propaganda outfit who spew unfiltered and unverified 'news' from enemy sources as the MSM has proven time and time again all to willing to be. I don't think the allies would consider Tokyo Rose as part of the press. She would have been arrested on sight (and indeed was tried for treason wasn't she?). Neither should we consider most of the MSM sources and outlets as part of the 'press' (nor should they enjoy the additional benefits) |

| #8 Dry run. Testing for openings. Pushing for relaxation of security practices. Also at Reagan? Target-rich environment real close. And remember, AQ likes to repeat until they succeed - WTC had to be hit twice, and somewhere in DC (White House?) was not hit on 9-11. Five years is pretty standard cycle time for them. |

| #7 The "media" appears to be deliberately omitting facts that are unsympathetic to the Mohammedans. The media are the enemy also. We'll have to clean out that nest of vipers at some point. There has to be some way to force the media to adhere to some kind of standards, that do not violate the First Ammendment. If not, then the media will need to be on the receiving end of some direct citizen action. Traitors. A side note: An acquaintance sent his intelligent level-headed daughter off to college (Journalism School) and four years later got back a foaming at the mouth Liberal with a head packed with insane notions. Just sayin'. |

| #6 far more suspicious than praying Everybody is entitled to their religious beliefs but stay in your damn seat and pray quietly. The last thing I want to experience during an airline flight is a bunch of arab men standing up and prostrating themselves chanting about allah... I'm sorry.. I used to be far more tolerant.. until I read more about islam.. And this is post 9-11 |

| #4 “It was almost as if they were intentionally trying to get kicked off the flight,” Pauline said. Yeah... trying to gin up outrage, which would lead to a lawsuit, which would then (they hope) loosen up procedures for a future run. |

| #3 And to think that these bastards were here last week at Reagan Natioinal Airport defiling the place with their smelly presence. |

| #1 In some law statutes the offense of "Mischief" covers the conduct of the mad mullahs. They can go back where they came from. |
