No, they were not treated fairly. I am not sure how that can be misconstrued to them somehow breaking the law.

Give me a break - of course they should be tried! We live in a Post-911 world now and that sort of BEHAVIOR is not acceptable anymore. The PC crowd should wise-up and ask what they would want done if they were ont he same flight as suspicious acting Imans. I know I would either get off the flight or demand a more serious security check for them before boarding.
Disrupting hundereds of passengers by this behavior is not acceptable. It is also not acceptable to yell 'Fire' in a crowded theater - this too is punishable by law.

No. True, they did not use good judgment-------but, they did nothing wrong.
And, who knows the true story-different newspapers said different things. One said an Arabic speaking man turned them in because of their conversation-but, I only heard that once. Why wasn't it made well known? There were too many rumors (even by the newspapers) for us to make a call on it.

It does not sound as if they were treated fairly. Keep in mind that the Washington Times is a biased conservative and somewhat trashy newspaper so I would not consider it fair and balanced (although it's not as bad as some newspapers)
