It's a relief to hear that so much more was being done that what appeared at the time.I hope their is more going on in the background now and would like to see an investigation of who leaked this top secret information.

[Zechariah11]

OLD news!

[rrrod]

I need to clean my glasses....at first I thought it read nuking muslims.....oh well

[Alouette]

Nuclear fishin'

[Thombo2]

USNews is all worked up(chest thumping indignation)because the gov didn't get warrants.They'll change their tune if a nuclear devise or dirty bomb goes off here.Then they'll say GW didn't do enough to prevent it.We're in a lose lose situation as far as the msm is concerned.

[SoFloFreeper]

GOOD. I'm glad.

[Tax Government]

...federal government since 9/11 has run a far-reaching, top secret program to monitor radiation levels at over a hundred Muslim sites in the Washington, D.C., area

This is absolutely correct. Any person who obstructs should be jailed for impeding the war effort.

[blackdog]

Sounds like some good work being done! After all.....My county sewage control board snoops around my farm without a warrant or even asking for permission to come onto my farm, which is a felony according to the federal USDA biosecurity laws. The local DNR game warden seems to think he can take strolls around my acreage as he pleases. Even the state cops seem to think they can snoop around my out-buildings after a teenage kegger party got busted in the woods nearby, thinking the kids were hiding in my barn/s. The USDA Farm Service Agency comes around whenever they want and like to check up on things. The FAA likes to come visit and write down plane serial numbers when the mood strikes. So does the state DOT also.

And I have a gated entrance! Only the guardian dogs bring all this to my attention..............

Maybe if Islam didn't frown on dogs as pets..............

[Dont Mention the War]

As far as I'm concerned, this is no different than the long-established garbage rule: Once you throw it out, anyone else is free to go through it.

The truly hilarious thing is that Bush's approval numbers have gone UP since this story came out, and I saw more than one talking head on TV make the argument that it was precisely because of this story.

[Sender]

I am shocked, shocked I tell you. How dare we monitor for deadly radiation weapons? This just shows another side of the Bush culture of corruption.

[McGavin999]

Man, no wonder we haven't been hit since 9-11. Thank God our government is doing all this to protect us.

Looks like the media is doing all in it's power to make sure that the protection ceases so they can increase their circulation when the next attack hits. I believe that is called aiding and abetting the enemy.

Anyone for filing a class action lawsuit against these media types for reckless endangerment?

[TommyDale]

And are we expected to be upset by this news?

[Bogey78O]

Next cops will need warrants to look at muslims.

[Phsstpok]

there can be no reasonable (or even unreasonable) expectation of privacy that would require a warrant to conduct radiation detection when the authorities are operating on the public right of way.

It's like complaining about someone confessing to murder on live TV and then saying that the police needed a warrant to watch the person on TV in order to use the confession as evidence. Don't get me started on how this same dufus in the MSM would probably argue that the confession couldn't be used since the murderer wasn't read his Miranda rights before he volunteered his confession!

Logic 101 should be a required course for anyone who wants to get into the journalism profession. Hell, we license doctors and lawyers before they can practice, we should make the same requirement of MSM journalists. Not ideological tests, just simple ones about the ability to reason, present facts accurately, spell, things like that.

[BigMacGOP]

GOOD!!

[HawaiianGecko]

 

Oh My God!  The Bush administration is monitoring the air for nuclear radiation! How dare this Hitlerite to attempt to keep a terrorist from cooking my family with cesium radiation.

Does this mean that the environmental wackos can no longer measure pollutants in the public air without a warrant too?

 

[Logical me]

Great that something is being done to protect us. Can anyone imagine that there would be any objection. I wish they could monitor the entire Country and without any warrant. Who in the hell would care. Oh, I forgot the lame brain dead.

[Pedrobud]

You are 100% correct. Can you imagine that limp wristed Kerry being in office not following up these leads. Bush will win this arguement hands down if the politically correct libs want to fight it. If these people are a risk, kick them the hell out (Islamists). See how happy they are living back in the 7th century. There is no doubt the president has the power to do this, and if not, the SCOTUS will allow it. To hell with congress. Separation of powers. The senate wants to control all, sorry guys ! You lose !!

[Pedrobud]

Legal scholars ?? Which side do you think they are on ??

[Thud]

We gotta do this to the junior mad scientists too.

I want to know when some teenager with WAY too much time on his hands in my neighborhood decides to win a Boy Scout merit badge in atomic energy by building an honest-to-god breeder reactor in his back yard, before a NEST team knocks on my door and tells me to grab my kids and run.

"... After the moon-suited workers dismantled the shed, they loaded the remains into 39 sealed barrels that were trucked to the Great Salt Lake Desert. There, the remains of David's experiments were entombed with other radioactive debris.

"These are conditions that regulations never envision," says Dave Minnaar, radiological expert with Michigan's Department of Environmental Quality. "It's simply presumed that the average person wouldn't have the technology or materials required to experiment in these areas."

As Uncle Albert would say, "Be thankful happen every day something like this does not.'

"David Hahn is now in the Navy, where he reads about steroids, melanin, genetic codes, prototype reactors, amino acids and criminal law. "I wanted to make a scratch in life," he explains now. "I've still got time." Of his exposure to radioactivity he says, "I don't believe I took more than five years off my life."

Nuclear Monitoring of Muslims Done Without Search Warrants
