CIA Helped NYPD 'Mosque Crawlers' Investigate Muslim Communities
I heard this story yesterday from conservative radio host Michael Savage. He bashed the Obama administration for investigating why the NYPD was used to investigate these mosques as a pre-emtive measure against any terrorist activity. Being that NYC was the center of 9/11 attacks many convervatives spoke about how this was a great idea to prevent any terror plans before they could be implemented. Is this a good idea considering the history of the NYC police department and is this invading on people's rights who attend these mosques? I don't like a plan such as this because we don't know where it will end and if so well then investigate all other churches, temples and synagogues. Things are bad enough already....a police state we do not need.
The New York Police Department, with help from the CIA, is running antiterrorism operations outside of their jurisdiction that target ethnic communities in a way the federal government can't, Adam Goldman and Matt Apuzzo report for the Associated Press.
Undercover officers known as "rakers" and undercover informants known as "mosque crawlers" are sent into minority neighborhoods, the AP reports. The NYPD denied that it targeted ethnic neighborhoods, saying that it only followed leads.
The program, the AP reported, was started by David Cohen, a retired 35-year veteran of the CIA who started at the NYPD in Jan. 2002. He, like police commissioner Ray Kelly, thought that the NYPD couldn't just rely on the federal government to protect the city from a future terrorist attack. CIA Director George Tenet tapped Larry Sanchez to help out Cohen. Sanchez, still on the CIA payroll, schooled officers in the art of intelligence gathering, said the AP.
Cohen started a secret squad that would infiltrate Muslim communities, several current and former officials involved in the program told the AP. One of the biggest issues for the CIA is that their intelligence officials are overwhelmingly white. But the NYPD didn't have that problem thanks to their diverse pool of officers, and were able to find the right fit for their undercover officers:
