US: FBI Monitors Muslim Sites For Radiation Content
My first question is, what kind of treasonous scum leaked this to the press? Feds sniffed for nukes at Muslim sites
WASHINGTON - Federal counterterrorism agents secretly have tested the air for radiation near hundreds of Muslim sites in New York, Washington and other major cities since 2002, officials confirmed yesterday.The daily radiation testing near Islamic mosques and other sites was a response to intelligence that Al Qaeda sought to detonate a nuclear or radioactive "dirty" bomb, U.S. News & World Report said.
Two U.S. counterterrorism officials confirmed to the Daily News that the "sniffer" program is run by the FBI and the Department of Energy's Nuclear Emergency Support Team.
"It was all intelligence-driven," a U.S. counterterrorism official in Washington told The News. "And it is legal."
Of course it is legal, and moral, and sensible. But there are still strangely well-regarded folks, such as CAIR's Ibrahim Hooper, who oppose this measure. If there was any doubt about Mr. CAIR's status as an anti-American, anti-life organization, their stance on this matter should leave no doubt.
