US Supreme Court Allows 3 Muslim Men to Sue FBI Agents in 'No Fly' Case

Masood Farivar

   WASHINGTON - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously Thursday that
   three Muslim men who were put on the U.S. government's no-fly list for
   allegedly refusing to serve as FBI informants could sue FBI agents for
   monetary damages.

   Conservative Justice Clarence Thomas, a staunch champion of religious
   liberty, wrote the majority opinion, saying the men may sue the agents
   in their personal capacity under a 1993 religious freedom law.
