Just ten days to the annual Army-Navy game. It's an event steeped in tradition, a healthy rivalry, and... bad movie knock-offs.

CNN is reporting that a former Army infantryman and National Guard helicopter pilot, Erich Scherfen, and his wife are on an unspecified government that limits or bans their air travel—and may result in the end of his career as a pilot with Colgan Air, Incorporated. The Schuylkill Haven couple may have been targeted because Scherfen converted to Islam when he married his Pakistani wife, Rubina. They sell books and DVDs about a pretty standard, harmless brand of Islam. So that's really it—you just have to be a Pakistani Muslim or married to one, and suddenly you're a terrorist? Really? That's the best they can do? There have been no accusations, no charges, no evidence whatsoever. Luckily, a judge looking into their case has asked Scherfen's employer to postpone his termination one month, which they agreed to do.
