Un mozo denuncia que no le dejaron servir la mesa a Bush sólo por ser musulmán - A waiter claims that he wasn't allowed to serve Bush only because he is Muslim

So read the headline in an article in Argentina's Clarin today. The article continues (with my translation following):

Agentes del servicio secreto presidencial de EE.UU. impidieron que un mozo sirviera la mesa en un hotel de Baltimore en la que se encontraba el presidente George W. Bush. La única razón, según denunció el camarero, fue su condición de musulmán, algo que no llegó a “compensar” cuando mostró sus credenciales de ciudadano estadounidense.

El hecho se produjo el viernes de la semana pasada, pero recién se conoció públicamente hoy cuando Mohamed Pharaon, el camarero presuntamente afectado, realizó la denuncia judicial. En el texto acusó a los agentes secretos de comportamiento "discriminatorio y racista".

U.S. Presidential Secret Service agents, impeded a waiter from serving the table at a Baltimore hotel where President Bush was seated. The only reason, according to the waiter's lawsuit, was that he was Muslim, something that didn't seem to matter when he showed his credentials as a U.S. citizen.

This happened on Friday a week ago, but it only became public today when Mohamed Pharaon, the waiter supposedly affected, produced the lawsuit. In the text, he accuses the Secret Service agents of "discriminatory and racist" behavior.

At first, I was surprised not to have heard about it. Was this a case of Evil Bush and his handlers squelching protest? I then did a Google search and came across this Chicago Tribune article from last Sunday, December 7th.

Muslim hotel waiter sees bias in removal

This article claims that Mr. Pharaon was asked by a hotel manager not to work - it doesn't mention that the Secret Service had anything to do with the decision. It also obviously was known almost a week ago, not yesterday as Clarin claims. I'm interested to see if we hear more about this, but it seems that Clarin is showing some anti-Bush or anti-American bias here, I'm not sure which.
