#1 --- After a congressional bill drawn up specifically in response to CAIR's and the imams' insistence on suing regular citizens reporting suspicious activity was passed, the passengers were dropped from the case. But Awad wasn't too happy about that, condemning the bill's sponsor, Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y.

"Now the allegation is that we are targeting innocent civilians," Awad said. "What we are trying to do is target those that knowingly made false allegations because of their anti-Muslim sentiments.
Terrorists always attack innocent civilians, otherwise they are not worthy of that designation. Allegations of anti-Muslim sentiments are an essential weapon of Muslim terrorists.
For ONCE, Congress came through on the side of good sense.
--- If everyone is sued, then everyone also gets a chance to force 'discovery', by subpoenaing everybody else remotely connected to the case.

#2 Without seeing the confidential agreement it is almost pure speculation to claim this as either a victory for terrorists or a defeat for terrorists.

The imans may have won a few thousand dollars (or maybe only a few hundred). If so, it doesn't begin to cover their legal costs.

There was no apology from any of the defendants and that is a good thing.

There doesn't seem to be a payment to the imans attorneys and that is also a good thing.

Probably both sides will go back to the drawing board. The law enforcement side will look to do a better job of documentation during their actions and will have to avoid using the word 'arrest'. The imans will look at a way of terrorizing infidels without goading Congress into passing another anti terrorism measure.
