The Quote of the Day comes from the overlong feature in the Washington Post by Dana Priest and William M. Arkin on “Monitoring America:"

“Members of our team have been involved in training programs for several years now, many of which have been focused on local law enforcement, intelligence, homeland security, state police, National Guard units and the like. We’re seeing a considerable ramping up of interest in getting this kind of training.”

Frank Gaffney, neoconservative extremist and Islamophobe, whose Center for Security Policy recently published “Sharia: The Threat to American,” a wildly distorted and alarmist attack on Islam and Muslim Americans. Don’t you feel better that Gaffney and his “team” are helping to train our police and intelligence officials?
