Yeah, we’d have to ignore that the NYPD had been actively monitoring Muslims in NYC and in NJ, including in mosques. Oh, and there are reports that the CIA aided the NYPD in setting up the program.

NYC Mayor Bloomberg said that the monitoring, including in mosques, was vital to keeping New Yorkers safe.

The flip side is that the FBI claims that they got less cooperation from Muslim groups as a result of the NYPD operations.

Hoft, as usual, gets it wrong.
