the f.b.i., we know now that the f.b.i. will not agree to amend the m.o.u. which is why the chief issued the bureau order. however, a significant problem is that the f.b.i. special agent in charge has told us all in separate meetings that the f.b.i. will continue to block key parts of local policy central to accountability and oversight. this is what this is about. but more than that there's a solution and it doesn't necessitate a divorce from the joint terrorism task force. there are now two ways for local law phone ersment to participate in the jttf. this is -- this has been a chance even since the last time we spoke before the commission. one of the ways is the ways we're currently engaged. an m.o.u. in which sfpd resources are put into the hands of f.b.i. with relatively no local control. the other way is via a resolution which was just approved by federal government in portland. which allows participation in the joint terrorism task force but provides much better protection for civil rights

the f.b.i. has these broad powers but surely they understand that the community trust is an important key to effective law enforcement. well, as someone who regularly represents innocent americans who are approached by the f.b.i., i can tell you with great confidence that they do not. the f.b.i. has sewn the seeds of anger and distrust, in the muslim community in particular. let me give you a few examples. right here in the bay area the f.b.i. opened an assessment investigation on an arab american student. this is mr. afifi right here. he found a tracking device on his car. a few days later half a does f.b.i. agents -- dozen f.b.i. agents swarmed his apartment building demanding it back. one agent told him, we have all the information we need, you don't need to call your lawyer. don't worry, you're boring. he is now suing the f.b.i. i should note that this investigation was a joint terrorism task force investigation. the same jttf that sfpd officers are currently assigned to. in southern califor

the f.b.i. look like? i want to empathize again that neither the asian law caucus nor the aclu are suggesting a divorce between these agencies. we all collectively believe that sfpd can be effectively involved in the joint terrorism task force activity under sfpd rules and regularlations. but to protect the sfpd from highly criticized f.b.i. practices that amount to indiscriminant intelligence gathering and racial and religious profiling, sfpd officers must be bound by this which the f.b.i. special agent in charge sig blocked significant portions of. unlike the f.b.i., the sfpd is not a national security organization. this is thankfully still a local public safety, crime-fighting agency operating appropriate standards designed to serve that mission. there has been no public discussion by any governing body of transforming the sfpd into a national security organization. dd when the sfpd signed up to work with the joint terrorism task force under an m.o.u. that preserves local control and policies

the f.b.i. also engages in what they call domain management, otherwise known as ethnic mapping. for each city the f.b.i. is required to map ethnic communities and ethnically owned businesses. even some f.b.i. officials as reported by "the new york times" have found this practice troubling. but it's part of their guidelines, it's part what have the f.b.i. does and it's what we know they're doing in san francisco. the message that this kind ofagetivity sends is that the f.b.i. considers certain communities more suspect and less american than others. the practice is alienate communities and strain law enforcement relationships. the san francisco police department cannot afford to participate in these practices. we need community trust to keep all of our communities safe. thank you. >> i'm john crew for the american civil liberties union and rather than take too much time, i want to just echo the thanks that veena already offered. briefly ac knowledge -- acknowledge chief suhr. we really appreciate

a few days later half a does f.b.i. agents -- dozen f.b.i. agents swarmed his apartment building demanding it back. one agent told him, we have all the information we need, you don't need to call your lawyer. don't worry, you're boring. he is now suing the f.b.i. i should note that this investigation was a joint terrorism task force investigation. the same jttf that sfpd officers are currently assigned to. in southern california an f.b.i. informant, also part of the jttf , the man at the far left, came forward and shared his work with the f.b.i. entails. he said that he was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to pose as a muslim convert and collect the names, email addresses and personal information of as many devout muslims as possible. particularly those who are particularly devout. also a joint terrorism task force investigation. and these are just two of dozens of stories that we're aware of. in addition to overtly targeting members of the muslim community for investigation, the f.b.i. also engages in what they call domain management, o

some concern that the f.b.i. here states that whether there's a conflict between standards or requirements of the participating agents in the f.b.i., the standard or requirement that provides the, quote, greatest organizational protection or benefit will apply. unless the organizations jointly resolve the conflict otherwise. is it your intention in the part of the command staff that to the greatest extent possible that where it is appropriate for them absent the factor of the jttf being present that they would have the same access and the ability to investigate whether or not to sustain charges in the event of an allegation of officer misconduct? >> with regard to the san francisco police officers, yes. that's the reason why we asked the officers to identify themselves as sfpd, where then the ordinary complaint process that all officers are subject to would kick in. commissioner chan: that brings me to section 6-a of the m.o.u. wherein it states that jttf members are strictly for biden from disclosing any classif

in fact, the f.b.i. recently acknowledged they have over 70,000 investigations open just in the past four years that are not predicated on any suspicion of criminal activity. these are investigations on innocent americans. given these massive shifts in f.b.i. activity, the question is, what should the relationship between the sfpd and the f.b.i. look like? i want to empathize again that neither the asian law caucus nor the aclu are suggesting a divorce between these agencies. we all collectively believe that sfpd can be effectively involved in the joint terrorism task force activity under sfpd rules and regularlations. but to protect the sfpd from highly criticized f.b.i. practices that amount to indiscriminant intelligence gathering and racial and religious profiling, sfpd officers must be bound by this which the f.b.i. special agent in charge sig blocked significant portions of. unlike the f.b.i., the sfpd is not a national security organization. this is thankfully still a local public safety, crime-fi

the f.b.i. and the c.i.a. medals. we gave theeaders medals for meritorious service and no one blinked an eye. what did we do? we passed the patriot act and said, come and take our liberties, make us safe. we have to protect what we read, to protect what we view, to protect what -- where we go and who we associate. we shouldn't allow government to patrol willy-nilly through millions of records. you've heard of warrantless wiretaps. a lot of these things are unknown because they're so secret that nobody knows, even many of us don't even know the extent of these things. but i can tell you that there's a great deal of evidence that we are looking at millions of records and that millions of innocent u.s. citizens are having their records looked at. now, are we doing anything, are we imprisoning innocent folks? no, i don't think we're doing that. i think they're good people. i think the people i've met with the fib f f.b.i., the people i't in our government, they want to do the right things. but what

commits to and what -- writing that the f.b.i. commits to and they've said, as long as you're under the m.o.u. options, as long as you don't transit into the resolution approach, they're going to enforce the m.o.u. and block that very important decision or that access that is fundamental to the commission oversight and the o.c.c. reports and the public reporting. so the other things that the attorney general said, in the end, when you talk about addressing these concerns, he said, actions speak louder than assurances. we're getting assurances, they're wonderful, i understand you're getting assurances from the f.b.i., with you we need actions and words in writing that the f.b.i. commits to, that will be something that we can count on and this order unfortunately the way it's constructed, simply coming from the sfpd, doesn't achieve. that i'm happy to give you more detail on the bureau order but i'm also happy to provide chief suhr. commissioner dejesus: thank you. what i would like to address is the -- this is a great start. i want

destroyer according to one f.b.i. informant well no according to all of the serious investigations of it including the nine eleven commission so i think. it would be naive to think that al qaeda will now change its ideology when it's been committed to attacking the u.s. since before we even went into i think i understand jordan thank you for coming out ok think again what i see clearly bin laden's death will be a game changer in the region figuring out just how that game is going to change it's going to be hard. enough there was joy and celebrations in the streets across the nation when news of osama was osama's death broke the little party continue with a possible threat of the public are going. into the only military making them.

another different view a rise of her profession by the homeland security using the f.b.i. using the federal grand jury not only against peace activists at the announced the us war in afghanistan and iraq but also against. american muslim community here in the united states they've been suffering this repression for many years and now the federal grand jury is being used to expand it to activists who stand in solidarity with the people in the middle east people in colombia who fight for freedom and peace. do you think that you mentioned department of homeland security that of course was created in the wake of nine eleven there's been a lot of counterterrorism bureaucracy built up in the post nine eleven united states apparatus why do you think they're being very targeted now if you think it's to justify this kind of money being spent. just to justify this kind of money being spent but also to attack us as. being outspoken against the u.s. policy of intervention and u.s. policy of condemning people movements throughout the world the protest movements are directly exposing an

f.b.i.on how the respective agencies have heightened their defensive posture over just these very concerns. so clearly this is a time where every legal counterterrorism and intelligence gathering mechanism should be available. it is also a time to seize the opportunity to further disrupt al qaeda. the assault on the bin laden compound netted a cache of valuable information: papers, videos, computer drives and other materials about al qaeda's vision and al qaeda plans. the intelligence community established an interagency task force to go through that material as quickly as possible. and i am hopeful that previously unknown terror plots will be identified and information leading to the location of terrorists found. authorities like the three provisions set to expire this friday may well prove critical to thwarting new plots and finding terrorists. they must be renewed. let me describe the three provisions in more detail. first, the roving wiretap provisions. roving wiretap authority was first

f.b.i., and that letter -- quote -- "we urge congress to reauthorize the expiring provisions of the patriot act permanently and without restrictions as the three expiring provisions are essential to the security of our country." end of quote. mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that these letters be a part of the record. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. grassley: in addition to agents on the ground, we've heard strong support for extending the expiring provisions of the patriot act from members of the bush and obama administrations. we've heard testimony from the director of the f.b.i., the attorney general and the director of national intelligence about the strong need to reauthorize these provisions. these same offices have recommended extending the provisions regardless of political ideology, as both republican and democrat administrations have backed the extensions. the four-year extension we're voting on today is a step in the right direction. extending the three expirin

that that the f.b.i. is actually infiltrated in places like boston more praise of quakers who are going down the street these are quakers you know very peaceful people and inspecting to see if they're really terrorists but they're more they're an imitation tactic so that's what we're seeing and i think what they really want to point out here with ron wyden the senator from oregon recently he's on the senate intelligence committee he just announced that there is a class there is a class or that it's much broader than what we see happening the government's doing much more invasive things that we thought he would say what. and yet you mentioned that americans don't really opposed the ideology has changed so my question to you bigger picture is have that communist ideology some of that this united states with so fiercely fighting against decades ago really ten traded american laws and the psyche of this country as witnessed by the patriot act if you use common as much they were more like china today then chin

the f.b.i. was allowed to track them. but american laws shouldn't be public only when government officials think it's convenient. they ought to be public and public all the time. and the american people ought to be able to find out what their government thinks those laws mean. now, earlier this week, mr. president, i filed an amendment along with my colleague from the intelligence committee, senator mark udall, and that amendment would require the attorney general to publicly disclose the united states government official interpretation of the u.s.a. patriot act. the amendment specifically states that the attorney general should not proscribe any particular -- should not describe any particular intelligence collection programs or activities but that there should be a full description of the legal interpretation and analysis necessary to understand the government's official interpretation of the law. now, this morning, senator udall and i had the help of several colleagues, senator merkley, senat

policy and speaking out and exercising our right of freedom of speech in the right to protest the f.b.i. is trying to stop our movement but we're not letting them we national mobilization and we formed a committee can step in ira pressure. and we've had demonstrations so it's that they're trying to stop us but we're not going to let them do it that was careless nonsense co-founder of the ground arranged economy. all right this is going to be fun it's time now to talk about the war on our t.v. if there is one we're wondering because now everyone has a right to their opinions we would never deprive anybody of that we would never decry that right but we are t. feel that it's time to address some of the criticism that's been directed against us directed at us to correct the misinformation that we feel has been put out there for example politico has called us a quote russian propaganda arm but that aside today i want to address criticism that centers around our guests our guest selections the frequent people there appear on the show our chief frequently quotes us extremists as authorities on
