Well, then! Nothing to worry about:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The CIA says its inspector general has found nothing wrong with the spy agency's close partnership with the New York City Police Department.
The inspector general concluded that no laws were broken and no evidence exists that the CIA was conducting forbidden domestic spying.
The inspector general decided to do a preliminary investigation after a series of stories by The Associated Press revealed how, after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks the CIA helped the NYPD build domestic intelligence programs that were used to spy on Muslims.
The revelations troubled some members of Congress and even prompted the U.S. director of national intelligence, James Clapper, to remark that it did not look good for the CIA to be involved with any city police department.
The close NYPD-CIA relationship continues.
Members of Congress called for an investigation the day before the results were released:
WASHINGTON — More than two dozen members of Congress are calling for investigation into the CIA's relationship with the New York Police Department.
The members of Congress want to know more about the CIA's collaboration with the police department to monitor Muslims after an Associated Press investigation.
A letter signed by 34 members of Congress was sent to the Department of Justice and House Judiciary Committee asking for a thorough probe.
Rep. Judy Chu, D-Calif., says: "We cannot allow the explicit profiling and targeting of Muslim Americans by the very people who are tasked with protecting and serving their community."
