ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Mayor Bloomberg is being asked to dismiss from the city’s Commission on Human Rights the lawyer involved in a lawsuit that could discourage ordinary citizens from reporting what they believe to be suspicious activity.

He is also suing any passengers on the flight who alerted authorities to what they regarded as suspicious activity by the imams.”
