"A Virginia man was indicted Wednesday on charges that he left threatening messages at an Arab political organization in the U.S. during fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in the Middle East last year.
Patrick Syring left phone and e-mail messages last summer with the Arab American Institute saying, ?The only good Lebanese is a dead Lebanese. The only good Arab is a dead Arab,? federal prosecutors said."
"Syring faces charges of threatening and violating civil rights laws. The indictment was signed by Assistant Attorney General Wan J. Kim, the Justice Department?s top civil rights prosecutor, and U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Taylor."

INSTEAD HE GETS PUT IN JAIL!
"threatening and Violating Civil Rights Laws"?
The guy did not threaten to hurt anyone...
He was expressing a political view and he sent it to a political organisation.
