I disagree, there are certain limitations that any journalist is expected to abide by. I would like to know what would happen if a "journalist" was to express the opinion that when they stepped on a plane, and witnessed someone holding the bible they got nervous. Or if someone stepped on a plane and saw a black man. How would Juan have reacted to that kind of statement? The firing was justified and good riddance to Juan Williams. The mistake NPR made was to slither on their stomachs after they made the decision because a couple conservatives on fox news got their panties in a wad.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I�
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
