A well-known political pundit on NPR was fired for comments he made on a televised talk show. The comment had to do with muslims dressed in native clothing on the same plane that he was on. His comment was essentially that he was concerned about  the safety of the aircraft with muslims in native dress on the plan. I understand that the NPR folks would take exception at his televised comments but his concern may be one shared by many Americans in light of the past 10 years of war and the tragedy of 911. While I certainly would not advocate  against any organization  having  a code of conduct as to  what its employees offer as information to the public. This journalist is a well known pundit who apparently was hired for his analysis of the politics and his own spin on the same.  The real tragedy is that Mr. Williams voiced an opinion held by many but unsaid. When considering the uneasiness in America and other countries about Muslims, I would be concerned to see some one in Muslin dress on a plane even though it may be an inappropriate concern.It is true that some convicted Muslims were not in Muslim garb but were attempting to affect the same destruction as if they were. The situation we have is fear and  not knowing the face of the enemy .Now there is no Juan  speaking the truth and we all know it.
