Bush Angry About Airline’s Treatment of His Guard
CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) – President Bush said on Friday he was angry that American Airlines removed an armed Arab-American Secret Service agent from a flight and would be ‘’madder than heck’’ if the man was a victim of racial profiling.
The man was en route to protect the president at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, when he was pulled off a flight on Tuesday after the pilot questioned his credentials. The airline allowed him to fly on Wednesday.
I’m glad Bush is standing up for the guy, the Airline has been trying to spin the story that it was the Agent’s fault. I could be wrong, but I think there was some strong discrimination going on here.
