US monitored Muslim sites for radiation: report

5 minutes ago

U.S. officials have secretly monitored radiation levels at Muslim sites, including mosques and private homes, since September 11, 2001 as part of a top secret program searching for nuclear bombs, U.S. News and World Report said on Friday.

The news magazine said in its online edition that the far-reaching program covered more than a hundred sites in the Washington, D.C., area and at least five other cities.

"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," the magazine said.

The report comes a week after revelations that the Bush administration had authorized eavesdropping on people in the United States. U.S. President George W. Bush has defended that covert program and vowed to continue the practice, saying it was vital to protect the country.

Senior U.S. officials, including FBI Director Robert Mueller, have repeatedly said Islamic militants appeared intent on acquiring weapons of mass destruction for an attack against the United States.

Mueller said in February he was "very concerned with the growing body of sensitive reporting that continues to show al Qaeda's clear intention to obtain and ultimately use some form of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-energy explosives material in its attacks against America."

An FBI spokesman declined to confirm or deny the U.S. News and World Report article and said, "We can't talk about a classified program."

[Blood of Tyrants]

I am outraged! If they want to keep a nuke in their home or church, why it's their RIGHT!

[GSlob]

"another item the Dims will complain about...."
Well, and I would be complaining if such obvious steps had not been taken.

[Wristpin]

Seem prudent to me.

[FormerACLUmember]

Oh how horrible. The evil Republicans protecting us from nuclear attack. Its all Bush's fault.

Vote democrat and put a complete end to such atrocities, like monitoring IslamoNazi sites for nuclear materials.

The more of this stuff the MSM reveal, the more Americans who are not predisposed to like Bush approve of his actions.

[TChris]

Another treasonous leak of likely classified information?

If so, I ask, when do traitors get arrested? What do they have to do to really ruffle any DOJ feathers? This is really, REALLY starting to tick me off.

Would someone kindly tell these MSM idiots we're at war?

The editors and reporter(s) of U.S. News resposible for this article should be charged with treason.

Another leak????

[voletti]

I would be outraged if they didn't do stuff like this!

Am sure hoping Sam Alito gets confirmed soon and good sense returns to the highest courts in the land!

[Iconoclast2]

It sure is dangerous. Now the last place they'll hide the bombs is in something connected to Islam.

[voletti]

Precisely.
Now the muslimes will know better than to keep dirty bombs in their basements. They'd rather rent warehouses instead, I guess...

[ncountylee]

MSM will continue until someone has to pay the price for treason.

[rhombus]

U.S. officials have secretly monitored radiation levels at Muslim sites...

Another secret? Not now. Time to move the nukes around.

[Wristpin]

I almost forgot....Arrest the filthy leaker. Enough is enough...perhaps it's time for another Commission on UnAmerican Activities!

[Restorer]

Racial profiling!

They should have been monitoring an equal number of Lutheran sites.

[RegulatorCountry]

Oh, so there's now a new "right" to radiological privacy, hidden in that penumbra somewhere?

Who knew?
