IT'S PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT TO RESPECT THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF MUSLIM
AMERICANS AT A TIME WHEN U-S TROOPS ARE FIGHTING TERRORISM IN THE
MIDDLE EAST.
CHERTOFF SPOKE TONIGHT AT THE N-DOUBLE-A-C-P'S NATIONAL

HE SAYS THAT MAKING MUSLIMS FEEL FULLY INCLUDED IN THE WORK AND
SPIRIT OF AMERICA IS PART OF MAKING THE NATION A BETTER PLACE, AND
IMPROVING U-S MILITARY EFFECTIVENESS.

WOMEN IN ALL BRANCHES OF THE U-S MILITARY.
EARLIER TODAY, HE VISITED A SHIITE MOSQUE IN DEARBORN, A DETROIT
