Newark, N.J. (AP) -- Newark Mayor Cory Booker and his top police official say the city was misled by the New York Police Department and never would have authorized such wholesale spying on Muslims if they had known about it.

Booker, a rising star in the Democratic Party, says he was offended to read a 2007 NYPD report that catalogued all his city's mosques and Muslim businesses.

“rising star in the democratic party” and he’s black, so he’ll be a presidential candidate one day. Or he’ll have some high-ranking position or television show.

Presidential candidate only after the Moocher gets elected Queen for 2 terms.

wow, that could go anywhere: soon to be charged with r@pe, murder, drugs, prostitution, fraud, bribery. Up for a job with GM, Unions, DOJ, DNC...

The fundamental problem here is well in the background ~ the NYPD got caught GUNRUNNING IN VIRGINIA at the request of Mayor Bloomberg.

They lost whatever reputation they had for honesty in that deal.

No Conservative should get caught up trying to justify anything those guys do ~

If the NYPD recorded the JDAM coordinates of all those sites -- and passed them along to the USAF, the study might rate as a genuine public service...
