A Fairfax County police sergeant was sentenced yesterday in federal court in Alexandria to two years' probation for his admission that he checked police databases for someone who was the target of a federal terrorism case. [...]
The three vehicles were undercover FBI vehicles, according to a letter from the FBI filed in court yesterday, and Rasool's message "likely alerted the subject of the FBI investigation which had a disruptive effect on the pending counterterrorism case." Prosecutors said the vehicles were listed with a leasing company, which an experienced officer might have known was an indicator of law enforcement vehicles.
The target was arrested in November 2005, then convicted and deported, according to court filings in Rasool's case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeanine Linehan said that the target and his family were already dressed and destroying evidence at 6 a.m. when agents arrived to make the arrest, indicating that they had been tipped off.

Unbelievable. Muslim police tipping off suspects has been a big problem in England, and now it’s come to our shores. And it’s treated like a tiny lapse in judgment. Why do Muslims get to get away with things like this?
He just couldn’t lie to a fellow muslim and say that nothing turned up when he knew that those cars probably belonged to law enforcement—and then turn over that info to the FBI. And this guy is a police sergeant?

(What are we doing in this handbasket - and where the heck are we going??)
“Lt. Susan Lamar, the assistant commander of the McLean station, where Rasool worked. Lamar wrote that, compared with similar computer violations by Fairfax officers, Rasool’s “seems to be the least significant.”
What seems to be the least significant is the judgement of Lt Susan Lamar, almost certainly another product of multi cultural diversity.
The muslim administrative judge, Mohamhead in the case thought that the poor defendant had learned his lesson.
If this one is the least significant, what the hell is going on that we haven’t heard about?
