AP Reveals NYPD Investigative Techniques Aimed At Mosques
AP reported yesterday that the New York Police Department has since 9/11 subjected at least a dozen mosques to "Terrorism Enterprise Investigations." By declaring an entire mosque a terrorism enterprise, police under their so-called Handschu Guidelines, can use informants to record sermons, spy on imams and treat anyone who attends mosque services as a suspect. Police have also attempted to infiltrate the boards of Islamic organizations to obtain intelligence.
