The government refused to tell his lawyer where the doctor was; "and after 13 days in jail, 13 days of humiliation, he was released," with a terse Justice Department statement that "he's been cleared."

I saw this man interviewed after he was released. (I believe they said that some of the hijackers were using his credit card, which had been stolen.)

He did not fault the FBI at all. He said he was a loyal American and felt the FBI was just doing what they had to do to protect the nation. He said, while he was relieved to be cleared, he thought their behavior was justified; and he didn't resent it at all.

Interesting that this person, picked up, held for questioning and then released, said he understood why the FBI did what they had to do. This person understands that it's not about him, that there are more people affected here than just himself. How different is the attitude in the American Muslim communities where it seems, in every interview I've seen, that the only thing that matters from Sep11 is how it affects them personally. No concern for the dead 6,000. No concern about ongoing and future attacks. Only whining and moaning about "how difficult it is to be Muslim in America".
