Democratic NYC Councilman Hiram Monseratte and supermarket businessman John Catsimatidis, who is eyeing the GOP nomination for mayor of NYC in 2009, will call Wednesday at City Hall for a non-binding resolution in support of Rep. Peter King's bill intended to "protect the rights of Good Samaritan whistleblowers who report suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities."

We support Peter King and this piece of legislation!
That's all well and good until YOU are singled out for "suspicious behavior" because of your ethnicity or religion.
If you are falsly accused, congress cannot and should not attempt to prohibit a redress of grievences.
If the rpeorting of activities is done in good faith and not malice, then those reporting have nothing to worry about.
Oh and this is all about ONE incident. There is nothing that compells the need for this legislation.
