Bloggers Rescuing "John Doe"?

That's according to the Washington Times:

Public pressure is mounting on Capitol Hill Democrats to include
the "John Doe" provision into a written conference report of the final 911
Commission bill.
The provision would protect the public for reporting
suspicious behavior that may be terrorist connected, and is the result of a
current lawsuit against U.S. Airways and "John Doe"passengers filed by a group
of imams who were kicked off a flight...Some Republican aides are attributing
the mounting pressure to support the provision to press reports and the
blogosphere, where bloggers turned bloggyists are posting phone numbers of
Democrat congressional leaders and urging readers to call in with their
support.

The recent bill passed by Democrats in favor of suing whistle blowers will likely come back to haunt them as we near the elections. How can they say they are tough on terror when they pass a bill protecting these enemies of America?
