And yet I hear a lot of radio conservatives giving Obama a pass on the domestic spying because it is “for our safety.”

[M. Thatcher]

In-freaking-credible.

Jihad is not the same as Terrorism.

Terrorism is an ill-defined amorphous threat to the US gov't.

Jihad is the real threat. Unfortunately we can't even come close to admitting this simple fact.

Islam/Sharia/Jihad/Mo-Ham-Mad is seditious to the Constitution.

[Windflier]

Figures....

Damn it!!

[fieldmarshaldj]

Cue Captain Renault.

[bronxville]

Now that’s disgusting along with our wide open borders. With all the latest developments and now this - they’re trying very hard to get us fighting mad.

But includes churches, synagogues, veterans organizations, Tea Party meetings, pro-life organizations....

[VitacoreVision]

Obama thinks it’s cool to spy on everyone, well except for Muslims, that would be Islamophobic.

[Aria]

This is bizarre. Yeah, Mexicans aren’t most of the illegals and Mosques aren’t where the terrorists hang out and regenerate. So much better to attack the Tea Party.

These people are NUTS!

[Alaska Wolf]

This is particularly disturbing in light of recent independent surveys of American mosques, which reveal some 80% of them preach violent jihad or distribute violent literature to worshippers.

What about the 1rst and 4th Amendment? /s

[Yosemitest]

Did you really expect a stinkin’ muzzl’em to snoop on his fellow muzzl’ems?

[MestaMachine]

The price we have paid for obama was already too high even before he assumed office. The price the next generation will pay for his having been there makes ours look paltry by comparison.

[Jack Hammer]

Obama set out from the get-go to destroy America, and that is precisely what he’s doing.

Let no one say he’s ‘not a successful’ president.

[autumnraine]

What’s up is down, what’s down is up.

Yep, I have officially slipped into the Twilight Zone.

[lonevoice]

It’s like the plot for a really bad novel.

I found this.

But the new guidelines also featured added restrictions on an especially sensitive area of FBI counterterrorism work: mosques. Under the new rules, agents could no longer enter a religious organization without special new approval—in some cases directly from FBI headquarters. Moreover, according to still-classified sections of the new rules made available to Time, any plan to go undercover in a place of worship—a tactic employed by the bureau after Sept. 11, 2001, that drew protests from Muslim Americans and at least one lawsuit from a California mosque—would now need special approval from a newly established oversight body at Department of Justice headquarters called the Sensitive Operations Review Committee, or SORC.

[Maurice Tift]

  Since October 2011, mosques have been off-limits to FBI agents... before mosques were excluded from the otherwise wide domestic spy net the administration has cast, the FBI launched dozens of successful sting operations against homegrown jihadists — inside mosques — and disrupted dozens of plots against the homeland

  Jihadists aren't the real enemy of the current administration. Their real enemy consists of people who support the US Constitution, free markets, private property rights, etc. Their real enemy consists of people who want to live in freedom.

They just have a suspicion and they could do what was called assessments of that situation. In 2011, President Obama revised those guidelines one more time. He actually expanded them in a lot of ways, now these assessments could include database searches of people using public records and things like that.

But they actually pulled back a little on how the assessments could deal with religious communities and mosques and they set up this new committee to oversee that. (Sensitive Operations Review Committee, or SORC) It was part of a White House effort, a broader White House effort, to really build closer ties and cooperation with the Islamic community in the United States around these issues.

No need to spy on what you already know! By heart!
