Stop me if you've heard this one. Six Imams pray together before getting on a flight. The other passengers, too predictably, begin to panic when some ask to change seats or request seatbelt extenders, sure signs that they're terrorists.
The Imams are removed from the flight. Upon investigation, it's discovered that they aren't terrorists, and were not about to hijack the flight, despite their religion.
Yesterday, Republican bigwig Newt Gingrich suggests that they should be "arrested and prosecuted for pretending to be terrorists."
And furthermore, "If you give me any signal in the age of terrorism that you're a terrorist, I'd say the burden of proof was on you."
Unbelievable. Gingrich is now the Grand Poobah of the bed-wetter movement.

I saw enough of the general right-blogosphere coverage of this to understand that the real truth is that the imams were either a) actual terrorists who were merely testing the limits of the system in preparation for the next armed strike, or b) terrorist-sympathisers who were deliberately pushing the limits of the system so as to make it that much harder for the Actual Terrorists to be caught next time.
So, you see, it naturally follows that they should be arrested. CAIR spoke up for them, after all. You just have to know the real truth, unlike the commie leftist version.
