ray kelly working with david cohen from the cia.hey set out to create basically a map of all new york's ethnic neighborhoods? >> that is with the demographics unit was doing. they wanted to literally map the human terrain of the five boroughs of new york. they went beyond -- they went to new york and new jersey as well. ,hey had this year after 9/11 looking at queens and brooklyn and these other places where there were a lot of muslim americans and thought, we don't know much about these communities and they looked at people like one of the 9/11 hijackers. he had radicalized, grown more religious, and given off the signals in front of the community. they wanted to be in the communities of new york, so if there is anyone like him, -- anyone like that there would be radicalizing -- they could have listening posts. they would have eyes and ears in the community to pick up on that. >> one of the things you write about is how the undercover officers would go to the best arab food restaurants, not coming up with leads, but because the foo

david cohen is in fact, a force of nature.reorganizing its bureaucracy. he came in and built an intelligence division the way he saw fit. >> well, and matt, talk to us about the undercover operation that goes on. bass as you guys write about, the nypd essentially treats the entire muslim population as terrorists. talk to us about the rakers and what you call the listening posts. is there a certain code language that you look out for or do you just -- is what they're doing essentially looking if they're muslim or not? >> what the nypd has done is created the demographics unit. plain clothes officer who's hang out in muslim neighborhoods and just listen and gauge the sentiment of the community. we've seen some of their police files show that these officers would put in police documents that they heard two people talking about their views on the president's state of the union address. that ends up in a police file. and as you mentioned, they did label entire mosques as terrorism enterprises. and by doing that, it allowed them to

officer, a guy by the name of david cohen. he said to david, come and rebuild this. he took a guy whose mission was to break the laws of other countries, and he put him in new york city to rebuild this intelligence division, and that's exactly what he did. >> and you guys raised the issue that it might not have been appropriate. because of the mindset of a c.i.a. officer to come into the law enforcement agency might not have been the best fit, but who would have been a good fit. >> we weren't even having this discussion. after 9/11, we're doing things as a country, as a city, this is unprecedented. bringing david cohen in, and then they brought in larry sÁnchez. >> he was the lie jaso liaison. >> he's teaching people out to go out in muslim neighborhoods, and just listen and observe and write down their rhetoric, what people were talking about in the cafes. some of that stuff was what do people say about the state of the union dress? what does the president think abouthink--who do they think abt the president's foreign policy? what do they think about drone attacks.
