This is of a piece with the former DIA chief's assertion that this regime has been cooking the books on the magnitude of the ISIS threat.A former Department of Homeland Security agent says that an investigation he was conducting into a fundamentalist Islamic group operating in the U.S. may have helped stop San Bernardino jihadi Syed Farook had the government not shut down his probe.During an interview with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly on Thursday, Philip Haney said that in 2012 as an agent with U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s National Targeting Center, he opened an investigation into a Sunni Islamic group called, Tablighi Jamaat, a subset of the fundamentalist Deobandi movement.But Haney said that just a year into the investigation it was shut down by the State Department and the Homeland Security Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.
The reason the investigation was quashed? Because the federal government did not want to profile Islamic groups, Haney told Kelly.In the process of shutting down Haney’s inquiry, the feds also deleted his files, which included information on an organization with ties to Farook’s mosque, San Bernardino’s Deobandi movement-affiliated Dar-al-Uloom al-Islamia.And Farook’s wife and accomplice, Tashfeen Malik, went to school at Pakistan’s al-Huda, which also has ties to the Deobandi movement.
The Most Equal Comrade is so enamored of his selfie stick and his golf clubs, his wagyu beef and his Beyonce command performances that the thought of you experiencing the anguish and horror of your civilization being devastated and your family raped does not enter his mind.
You call that evil.
Headers like "Murdered in your Bed" does not seem merited for a three year old story no further substantiated than by this analyst alone. I think Fox as happens occasionally reports in a sensationalistic fashion (as all media is doing). I see no legal actions, no cross reference of reporting, not even a collaboration from anywhere (at least I see none). Maybe I am stupid (might be the case), yet someone making accusations alone does not seem like responsible news. I truly hope someday people will act more responsibly when they are reporting.
ReplyDeleteWell, anyone who has a substantive dispute with Mr. Haney's claim is free to step forward. News stories often start with a lone whistleblower.
