The Federal Aviation Administration has been asked to investigate, the Saudi Arabian government is denying it discriminates against Jews, and Delta Air Lines is getting incinerated by critics on its own website as the dispute over the airline's plans for a cooperative program that would ban Jews from certain flights heated white-hot today.
WND reported two days ago on the plan to have Saudi Arabian Airlines join the SkyTeam Alliance with Delta, a move that would require the American carrier to ban Jews and holders of Israeli passports from boarding flights from New York or Washington bound for Jeddah.
Now at least two legal organizations are reviewing the possibility of legal action, and Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., reported he wrote to FAA Administrator J. Randolph Babbit requesting an investigation to determine "whether Delta violated American law."
"I request your investigation into this matter to determine whether Delta Air Lines violated U.S. law or regulation and to ensure no U.S. citizen is denied their right to fly solely on the basis of their religion," Kirk told the agency. "Since a core mission of the FAA is to promote civil aviation, I would expect the FAA to use its full statutory and regulatory power to ensure that America's civil airways are not restricted for persons regardless of faith."

Obviously a Joan Rivers , you are not.
Laura: Who is Esther, your ugly cousin who was put up to commenting on your dismal blogsite. How do you pay her, by the word.

"Anonymous" why do you come here and on Israpundit to pretend being other people and post comments in other people's names with views they don't hold. If my blog is so dismal, you are certainly free to ignore it.
