Two thoughts came to mind when I first heard about this:
U.S. officials have secretly monitored radiation levels at Muslim sites, including mosques and private homes, since September 11, 2001 as part of a top secret program searching for nuclear bombs, U.S. News and World Report said on Friday.
The news magazine said in its online edition that the far-reaching program covered more than a hundred sites in the Washington, D.C., area and at least five other cities.
Of course, not everyone reacted this way. An unnamed spokesman for the Council for Blowing Smoke Up The Infidels' Asses American-Islamic Relations had this to say:
"All Americans should be concerned about the apparent trend toward a two-tiered system of justice, with full rights for most citizens, and another diminished set of rights for Muslims," it said in a statement.
That's more than a little ironic. Switch "most citizens" and "Muslims" in that sentence, and you get the current state of affairs in EVERY Muslim country.
