Some of you may have read my piece on how the `John doe' Amendment, a commonsense piece of legislation designed to give immunity from lawsuits to people who report suspicious activity like the Fort Dix video or the behavior of the jumpin' Imams was killed in committee by the Democrat leadership.
Well, thanks to Senators Joe Lieberman and Susan Collins, the chairman and ranking minority member, respectively, of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and Representative Peter King, the legislation will shortly become law.
The language will provide protection against the sorts of harassment lawsuits filed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a front organization for the Muslim Brotherhood and an unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorism-financing plot.
What happened,of course is that the amount of light shone on the attempt to bury this - and the amount of heat it generated from bloggers, the new media and of course you, the public - made certain people think twice.
