Interesting. Not too long after having to reveal documents showing that
the NYPD surveilled practically every protest group that they could
think of as likely to commit terrorist acts during the RNC, no matter
how peaceful the group and whether or not they even planned to attend
the protests, they now publish this document in which it seems only
Muslims are potential terrorists. Odd how they changed their minds.
