Infiltrate, tap phones, surveillance etc. The same as they would in a criminal drug case.
“The people they have removed, the women and children, have not been arrested.”
They are being held against their will. If you or I were to do that, it would be kidnapping.
This whole thing is starting out just like Waco. What would happen if we received an anonymous call from someone at a Mosque claiming a weapons cache? Would we round up the members and invade the religious community and hold them in detention until proven innocent?
It's too early to make assumptions, but something smells fishy here. Jealousy must run rampant among the multiple wives. A jealous ‘wife’ could easily make a phone call accusing her ‘husband’ of everything under the sun. Let's give it some time and see what happens if/when the REAL facts come out. I just can't forget Waco and the cover-up or Ruby Ridge, for that matter.
Are the Amish next? Homeschooling?
Do you know that for sure? And by whom? Their *husbands* or other despot male authorities, or by the government authorities?
Infiltration certainly will not work. Heck, they don't even keep their own sons in there because they are competition; they certainly aren't going to allow any other males join. Kids can't do it. Are any women going to volunteer to join a group like that and be abused and raped by its members? How to you watch a close, tight knit, isolated community like that?
The sorts of ways of usually gathering information aren't going to be very effective with a group like this.
If a weapons cache were reported under a mosque (and I for one don't doubt they exist) it OUGHT to be investigated. Unless one believes that because jihad is part of their religion, it gets protected by the Constitution and we can't do anything to stop it. Do you really, seriously believe that the Constitution should protect that sort of thing?
