Juan Williams Signs Two-Book Deal With Crown

Juan Williams plans to write a book about the importance of free speech in America. He was fired from his job as a veteran reporter for NPR after saying on The O'Reilly Factor that the sight of people in Muslim garb on airplanes makes him nervous. Many believe that the move infringed on William's freedom of speech. His first book will argue that the American people benefit from a debate on hot political/religious issues. One question I have is whether NPR will ever apologize for its decision to fire Juan Williams. Will he be more successful as a writer and pundit than as a reporter for NPR?
