Each instance and, therefore, just closed out that investigation. for instance, they never went to his mosque. never spoke to the imam, to a number of his relatives and, also, there were certain matters in his file that they chose to look the other way on or said there was nothing there. >> what did they look the other way on? >> his name came up in several instances and they said there was nothing there. if you have three independent references to someone possibly having terrorist connections, ...

And we are still apologizing for it. >> were talking about following the constitution. what the nypd is doing, they have 1,000 cops working on counterterrorism, 16 plots against new york have been stopped. if any of those had gone through hundreds or thousands of people dead. >> where does political correctness get in way with surveilling terrorists? >> why didnt they talk to the mosque, to the imam? >> he was a legal, permanent resident. does that have something to do with what the fbi is capab...

The japanese interment is a national stain on our country, and we are still apologizing for it. >> were talking about following the constitution. what the nypd is doing, they have 1,000 cops working on counterterrorism, 16 plots against new york have been stopped. if any of those had gone through hundreds or thousands of people dead. >> where does political correctness get in way with surveilling terrorists? >> why didnt they talk to the mosque, to the imam? >> he was a legal, permanent resident...

His mosque. never spoke to the imam, to a number of his relatives and, also, there were certain matters in his file that they chose to look the other way on or said there was nothing there. >> what did they look the other way on? >> his name came up in several instances and they said there was nothing there. if you have three independent references to someone possibly having terrorist connections, when do you stop saying its just a coincidence? >> there are reports now about his mother, talking ...

Local muslim groups, the more likely those groups are to provide useful information about potential jihadis. an attack in canada apparently inspired but perhaps directed by al qaeda was foiled for just this reason an imam in toronto noticed one of his congregants was acting strangely. they followed the man and got him before he could execute his plan. before briefing reporters on their collaboration, canadas top counterterrorism official invited torontos islamic leaders to a meeting and thanked ...

Sometimes with their kids in tow. i mean, we have to change that. >> this language of anchor babies is interesting, andrea. as ive been thinking of the sister citizen text which is really just about black women. but that language of the notion of who is the mam i has shifted. it was in the early 20th century about black women domestic, now latina domestics, right? when we think about who doesnt control their fertility, it was the welfare queen and still is. now also the anchor baby language. wha...

Data base environmentalist. how can this government be expected to keep track of 745,000 people? he was apparently was one of them. >> they have to do more than just have a list. when the information was made available to the f.b.i. they gave them the name of the older son. i think they were holding back somewhat. for instance, as far as i know, they never spoke to boston police. they never went to imam or the mosque or the people on the ground who would have had the knowledge whether he had bee...
