New York Police Monitored Muslim College Students Far From City

The Associated Press reported on Saturday that the New York Police Department had monitored Muslim college students throughout the Northeast, including at Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania. The police reviewed student Web sites daily and recorded student names in police files. According to the AP, in one 2008 case, an undercover agent joined Muslim students on a whitewater-rafting trip, noting in intelligence files how often the students prayed. The AP had previously reported that the NYPD had placed undercover officers in Muslim student associations at New York City colleges.

I read in the Guardian (or was it the NYT) that they prayed 4 times a day which the cop decided was highly suspicious. He expected good Christians to pray at least 8 times a day over those dangerous waters. Jews would have prayed 13 times as the nb 13 is mystical in the Kabalah, Buddhists would have been in constant meditation ready to really become one with the universe through a watery death, while atheists, I suspect, would have been constantly cursing themselves for embarking (literally) in this crazy expedition!

So the NYPD thinks that potential terrorists are going white rafting? And they also appear to believe that the have jurisdiction in other states and cities.

Or rather, could it be that the undercover cop saw this as a golden opportunity to take a fun vacation at the expense of New York City taxpayers?
