Monitoring Radiation Levels ... at U.S. Mosques

While I was out of town this past week for Christmas vacation, controversy continued to rage in Washington, D.C. over the Bush administration's surveillance of individuals residing within the United States. The latest "bombshell" came over the weekend, when it was revealed that since 2001--beginning sometime shortly after the 9/11 attacks--federal agents have been monitoring Muslims sites throughout the United States. U.S. News and World Report broke the story, compromising our national security (taking a cue ftrom the New York Times in that regard) in the process :

In search of a terrorist nuclear bomb, the 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, including mosques, homes, businesses, and warehouses, plus similar sites in at least five other cities, U.S. News has learned. 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.

I'll wager that the vast majority of Americans are not alarmed by this revelation--as U.S. News and World Report likely intended. Instead, most are undoubtedly relieved that Muslim sites are being scrutinized closely, since--as mainstream media liberals seem to have forgotten--we're currently locked in a struggle for our very existence against Islamic extremists. For some much-needed perspective on this issue from the editors of the irrepressible jihadwatch.org, click here and here.
