F.B.I. Official Faults Police Tactics on Muslims NYTimes.com

Chief of F.B.I. Newark Bureau Decries Police Monitoring of Muslims - NYTimes.com

  Michael B. Ward, the special agent in charge of the F.B.I.’s Newark office, said on Wednesday that the New York surveillance tactics were not an effective form of intelligence gathering and, in effect, were harming the fight against terrorism by fomenting distrust among New Jersey’s Muslims.
“When people pull back, when people pull back cooperation, it creates additional risk, it creates blind spots, it hinders our ability to have our finger on the pulse of what’s going on around the state,” Agent Ward said at a news briefing in Newark. “It makes the job of the Joint Terrorism Task Force much, much harder.” 

Comment....Like Italians and spaghetti, Latinos and Tacos, Irish and Corn beef, its Muslims and terrorism...My Mom used to to say, "Its the pot calling kettle black". Dan Rather said. If it walks like a duck, if it quacks like a duck...Anyway you know what I mean...
