So it&#8217;s necessary to give credit where credit is due: The Christie administration is to be commended for conducting a fair and objective investigation of the New York City Police Department&#8217;s intelligence gathering efforts in the Garden State, which date back to at least 2007, when Gov. Christie was the state&#8217;s Bush-appointed U.S. attorney. New Jersey&#8217;s state Attorney General Jeffrey S. Chiesa has concluded that the NYPD&#8217;s surveillance activities did not violate state law.]]>Sun, 27 May 2012 08:41:57 -0400<![CDATA[Andrew C.
