US man hid brother's intent to be suicide bomber
Indicating perhaps a certain ideological sympathy. From AP, with thanks to Kemaste:
A grocer of Palestinian descent pleaded guilty to misleading FBI agents about his brother's intentions to leave the United States for Israel and become a suicide bomber.
On the day before his trial, Muhammad Subeh, 43, acknowledged in US District Court he deceived federal agents when he denied seeing a letter from his brother that indicated he was going home to the West Bank to join the Aksa Martyrs Brigades.
Prosecutors said Subeh destroyed the letter, but not before investigators had the opportunity to photocopy it and have it translated.

CAIR monitors airport treatment of Muslims
The Council on American Islamic Relations continues its campaign to stigmatize all scrutiny of Muslims in airports as discrimination. From UPI, with thanks to Web:
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 (UPI) -- A U.S. Muslim organization said Thursday it was monitoring the treatment of American Muslims returning from the hajj pilgrimage.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations said it would be organizing interviews with American Muslims who were coming home from the annual pilgrimage to Mecca "to spot-check their treatment by airport security personnel and border protection authorities."
CAIR said an estimated 10,000-15,000 American Muslims went on the hajj to Mecca in Saudi Arabia this year. The group set up a toll-free hotline for travelers who felt that their civil rights had been ignored or over-riden.
