WTF?? FBI arrests & detains Malcolm X's grandson as he travels to Iran? <-- Stinks to high heaven

So, has this young man -- an American citizen of some notariety -- simply been "renditioned"?
i.e. disappeared to be detained indefinitely, with no trial, no charges, no access to legal
representation, etc.? This is more than a little chilling, especially since the FBI appears
to be unwilling to even talk about it publicly.
