Indianapolis—
UPDATE: Kathie Smith told Fox59 News this all came about because she told a reporter she was profiled while traveling."I trusted this reporter with a traumatic experience that happened to me while traveling to and from Germany dealing with homeland security. I gave her a detailed account of how I was being abused and being singled out as a Muslim and this reporter just turned it around," Smith said.
She said she is not linked to terrorism, so we asked her why she thinks she is being investigated.
"I believe it's because I'm asserting my first amendment right... Freedom of speech. And, I speak out against this government and what it's doing with the war in Afghanistan and Iraq."
She told Fox59 she is not just doing this because she is Muslim.
"I'm standing up for the underdog, I'm standing up for the child that's oppressed, for the woman that are being raped and abused and neglected in other countries because the oppression of our country (USA), because of our so called freedom that they say they are trying to ignite around the world."
