#1 It's not mission creep for the NYPD. New York is the (home) front line in the war on terror and his experience in Israel is very important. Boots on the ground, eyes and ears and all that.

#2 I remember reading that NYPD types were involved in raids in Pakland early in the WoT. The NYPD probably coordinates with the FBI more closely than the CIA does. Its anti-terrorism unit is almost a de facto Federal unit (I think it is funded by the Feds). And Rudy G. and former Commissioner Kerik have been advising on anti-terrorism and security matters in a number of countries (Kerik was in Iraq for months shortly after Saddam's fall). NYC (and therefore the NYPD) is on the front line in the WoT.

P.S. - I wonder if there are any donut shops in Tel Aviv.

#3 If I were an islamofascist bad guy, the last people I'd want after me would be the NYPD . . . or the FDNY!
