He shouldn't have said it. If anything, he could have made a general statement of how SOME people still feel nervous when they see a person with traditional Muslim garb on a plane. Attaching that nervousness to himself was a bad idea.

People need to stop pretending as though having to watch what they say in certain settings is "political correctness." We watch what we say because we wear many hats. In a professional settings, we are not wearing our "personal hat." We are wearing our "professional hat" and that makes personal opinion not distinct from professional commentary.

Juan Williams should've been smarter just as Dr. Laura's dumbass should've been.

On the other hand, Rick Sanchez shouldn't have been fired because even Jon Stewart said the comments weren't offensive; and CNN was using him as an excuse to fire Sanchez.
