Headline: Mueller says no racial targeting with guidelines
Story:
FBI Director Robert Mueller told Congress on Wednesday that the bureau’s domestic surveillance guidelines are being used properly and that agents are not employing them to target people for investigation based on race.
The FBI director’s defense of the guidelines at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing followed criticism by civil liberties groups that the guidelines unfairly target innocent Muslims.
The guidelines “do not target based on race,” Mueller said.
So is it the press or the legislature in this case that is the blockhead who thinks a religious choice is a race?
False dilemma. It could be both.
