Why is The NYPD spying on Muslim students?

The New York Police Department is spying on Muslim students.  The Associated Press is out with a new investigation exposing the NYPD for keeping tabs on Muslim students and professors across the Northeast – at universities as far away as UPenn and Yale.  Detectives tracked websites belonging to the Muslim students – spoke with local authorities about professors – and even sent an undercover agent on a whitewater rafting trip to document how many times Muslim students prayed.  

No one under NYPD surveillance was accused of any wrong doing – indicating that the police’s spying was a blatant breach of civil rights.  It was also recently discovered that the NYPD is monitoring innocent Muslims where they eat, shop, and pray, as part of a program designed by the CIA. 

We can thank George Bush and Dick Cheney for this irrational and unconstitutional police behavior.  Through fear mongering – they turned America from the Home of the Brave into the Home of the Terrified and Paranoid.
