Six imams removed from a U.S. Airways plane said they would not sue the passengers whose concerns led them to being kicked off the flight.
In federal court Tuesday, the attorney for the imams said, "We don't contemplate naming any private passenger as a defendant."
After the November flight, the imams sued the airport, the airline and 'John Does,' which left open the possibility of suing anonymous passengers.
The attorney for one of the passengers says the imams' offer comes only as congress is about to give immunity to those reporting suspicious behavior.
"The offer is only made after congress passes the immunity provision with the threat of assessing fees and costs against parties suing those making reports in good faith," Gerry Nolting said.
U.S. Airways and the Minneapolis- St. Paul airport will ask a judge to dismiss the imams' lawsuit next month.
“Flyin’ Imams” Ping........
On or off this ping list..FRmail me. All requests honored.
These a**holes are going to lose the other suits too!
Yep.
Forgot to mention that there is video at the link.
That would just make my day, if they lost it all. Icing on the cake would be lawsuits against them for scaring the socks off a plane load of people.
Ping......
Is this congressional immunity thing tightly worded enough to prevent a leftist from reporting a conservative as a “terrorist” and escaping any legal responsibilities???
Because the Partiot act powers will eventually fall into the hands of the liberals...
They should be in jail!!! Gitmo sounds about right.
Great question.
Shameless link....

Gee...that’s mighty white of them....
Well, I certainly hope so, for our sake.....
They’re friggin’ cowards ... they should be publically spanked ... by a woman.
With a pork chop??
;-)
Does Michael Jackson suffice?
"Ann...Condoleeza! Which one of you wants to do the honors?"
Flying Imams are grounded.
The saudis lost this one, but they will continue to bankroll the weakening of this country for the islamic takeover.
I hope this whole thing has backfired on the Imans. If they were trying to see just how far they could go, then they found that the public is well aware of what is happening around them, and will not allow themselves to be muted. They simply brought more attention to themselves.
