Obama's Snooping Excludes Mosques, Missed Boston Bombers

[Jesse]

Snoop on billions of phone calls and emails, no problem.
Pat down little 5 year old girls in wheelchairs at airports, great idea !
Use the IRS target, sanction and punish political enemies, done deal.
But snoop on mosques, the breeding grounds of radical islam, no thats
out of line, that would hurt muslims feelings, and we can't have any of
that !
Typical move from these low intellect shills, these guys aren't
qualified to run a post office much less a country.

The White House assures that tracking our every phone call and keystroke
is to stop terrorists, and yet it won't snoop in mosques, where the
terrorists are.

That's right, the government's sweeping surveillance of our most private
communications excludes the jihad factories where homegrown terrorists
are radicalized.

Since October 2011, mosques have been off-limits to FBI agents. No more
surveillance or undercover string operations without high-level approval
from a special oversight body at the Justice Department dubbed the
Sensitive Operations Review Committee.

Who makes up this body, and how do they decide requests? Nobody knows;
the names of the chairman, members and staff are kept secret.

We do know the panel was set up under pressure from Islamist groups who
complained about FBI stings at mosques. Just months before the panel's
formation, the Council on American-Islamic Relations teamed up with the
ACLU to sue the FBI for allegedly violating the civil rights of Muslims
in Los Angeles by hiring an undercover agent to infiltrate and monitor
mosques there.

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.

If only they were allowed to continue, perhaps the many victims of the
Boston Marathon bombings would not have lost their lives and limbs. The
FBI never canvassed Boston mosques until four days after the April 15
attacks, and it did not check out the radical Boston mosque where the
Muslim bombers worshipped.

The bureau didn't even contact mosque leaders for help in identifying
their images after those images were captured on closed-circuit TV
cameras and cellphones.

One of the Muslim bombers made extremist outbursts during worship, yet
because the mosque wasn't monitored, red flags didn't go off inside the
FBI about his increasing radicalization before the attacks.

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 other five-alarm jihadists are counterterrorism officials missing
right now, thanks to restrictions on monitoring the one area they should
be monitoring?

In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and
hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then
it costs nothing to be a patriot.
