Comments about ‘Muslim students across Northeast monitored by NYPD’

I see not problem with them trolling web sites. If the kids do not want this read by the public then they should be posting it on public sites. What's the difference in me reading it and the cops?
I feel that it is better to be prepared, then to morn a horrible loss.

Ask yourself just why would the New York Police Department monitored Muslim college students far more broadly than previously known, at schools far beyond the city limits, including the Ivy League colleges of Yale and the University of Pennsylvania?.

LIGNET, the global intelligence and forecasting service, reveals that reports Iran is working with al-Qaeda to engage in a "spectacular" terrorist attack on the U.S. or Western allies are "credible."

LIGNET assesses the serious risk in a new special analysis.

Iran is capable of supporting serious terrorist attacks, LIGNET says, including those involving biological and chemical weapons. But Iran also faces serious risks ahead.

With news this weekend that Iran will soon be banned from the SWIFT financial banking system, the threat of Iranian retaliation is rising.

Reports that Iran is cooperating with al-Qaeda on plans for a pectacular attack on the West have to be taken seriously, particularly in light of the attempted assassinations of Israeli diplomats last week and the revelation last year that al-Qaeda had begun using Iran as a transit point to its bases in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

It's to assert itself as a serious threat to security in the world.

We complaint when the terrorists attack. We also complaint when law enforcement tries to stop terrorism attacks. Political correctness led to Major Hasan Fort Hood shooting, let's not make that mistake again. Thanks to the law enforcements for keeping us all safe.

If that is all they really did maybe you could make that case but from the article "Police talked with local authorities about professors 300 miles away in Buffalo and even sent an undercover agent on a whitewater rafting trip, where he recorded students' names and noted in police intelligence files how many times they prayed." As someone that actually lives and works in NY and has to live with he daily reality that there are people with a great interest in attacking out city again, I do not support law enforcement breaking the law and engaging in tactics that violate peoples civil rights. If we throw our rights away then we have already lost and there is no point.
