US monitored Muslim sites for radiation: report
5 minutes ago
U.S. officials have secretly monitored radiation levels at Muslim sites, including mosques and private homes, since September 11, 2001 as part of a top secret program searching for nuclear bombs, U.S. News and World Report said on Friday.
The news magazine said in its online edition that the far-reaching program covered more than a hundred sites in the Washington, D.C., area and at least five other cities.
"In numerous cases, the monitoring required investigators to go on to the property under surveillance, although no search warrants or court orders were ever obtained, according to those with knowledge of the program," the magazine said.
The report comes a week after revelations that the Bush administration had authorized eavesdropping on people in the United States. U.S. President George W. Bush has defended that covert program and vowed to continue the practice, saying it was vital to protect the country.
Senior U.S. officials, including FBI Director Robert Mueller, have repeatedly said Islamic militants appeared intent on acquiring weapons of mass destruction for an attack against the United States.
Mueller said in February he was "very concerned with the growing body of sensitive reporting that continues to show al Qaeda's clear intention to obtain and ultimately use some form of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-energy explosives material in its attacks against America."
An FBI spokesman declined to confirm or deny the U.S. News and World Report article and said, "We can't talk about a classified program."

They went into a place where the public was welcome and did not in anyway attempt to examine confidential documents, etc.
No warrant needed!
Talk about a MSM blowing another great intel operation.... and giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Of course, the Left doesn't think Islamics with nuclear weapons on US soil are "the enemy..."

Yeah, but at least if they get lucky the story will be damaging to Republicans. I mean, we have to keep our priorities straight.

It's been obvious to me that this has been going on, but I don't think I've ever mentioned it except privately. The fact is that this is a useful way to locate Islamic Swine, but maybe the Swine didn't know this was going on. They do now.

I am so sick of these a**holes making statements like these. You'd have to be a fool to think our government was not keeping an eye on the most-likely to attack after 9/11. NOTHING was revealed. This is what our intelligence agencies DO. Idiots.
Thank you, W et al. for protecting us from these murderers.

I'm so glad this is SECRET so the terrorists don't decide to move the nukes to NON-MONITORED SITES...

"I pray that we are monitoring every mosque in our nation."
I hope we've infiltrated every one of them, myself.
To: Sub-Driver
Monitored? Poor slimes must be outraged.
Sucks to be them.

Find the person who leaked this and hang him or her (after trial of two minutes of course). They are traitors who are providing TOP Secret intel information to supporters of the terrorist and must be stopped. Another left-wing democrat in the federal government who hates Bush and loves the terrorist.

Not to mention the only purpose in leaking and reporting information like this is to turn the moderate Muslims against the US and our WOT.

Racial profiling!
They should have been monitoring an equal number of Lutheran sites.
Darn! That was going to be MY comment!

another item the Dims will complain about....and when the next attack occurs they will continue to complain about the negligence of the government and it's failure to prevent the attack.

And the point of reporting this is what?
Isn't this another instance of the press violating security?
