Soldier who served in Iraq tackled by fliers after bizarre incident

Very sad. And I fear a sign of what George Bush and the Republicans have done, not only to our military preparedness, but to an entire generation of Americans preparing some day to come home and integrate back into society.

A frightening incident on a New York to Florida flight, where passengers tackled another flier they say rammed the cockpit door.

And it turns out the suspect is a U-S Army solider who served in Iraq.

This happened last night on a Delta flight to Tampa, where an airport spokeswoman says the soldier is in custody. Authorities are using a state law that lets them hold someone without charges if they pose a threat.

She says the soldier's brother told investigators he has mental problems related to his military service.
