It’s wall to wall Foley on the evening news, but for those who care about protecting ourselves and our friends from terrorist threats, this is a much bigger scandal: Terrorists’ mail still not monitored. (Hat tip: LawHawk.)
WASHINGTON - Convicted terrorists locked up in U.S. prisons can still use mail and verbal communications to conduct terrorist or criminal activities, according to a report issued Tuesday by the Department of Justice’s inspector general.
The inspector general launched a review after a series of NBC News Investigative Unit reports in February and March 2005 revealed that jailed terrorists — even those responsible for the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center — were continuing to support jihadists and encourage violence around the world.
“We found that the BOP (Bureau of Prisons) has not effectively monitored the mail of terrorist and other high-risk inmates,” concludes the 122-page report.
