Will someone please give me even a little insight as to why faith based organizations are required to be included in the monitoring? I don't know how to find out why and I don't see any answers where I've been looking on the site?

2) Who's faith? [by Anonymous Citizen on June 17, 2005]
What faith based organizations will be included in this? There are too many faiths for this to not be a shady deal. And I'm assuming the majority of them will not be included.
