[Infowarrior] - Investigative look at FBI's use of informants in terror cases

[Richard Forno]

Via BB:  Michael from Mother Jones sez, "This is a yearlong investigation by Mother Jones and the Investigative Reporting Program at UC-Berkeley explores the network of thousands of informants the FBI employs in its domestic counter-terrorism program, operating in gray area where the snitches don't merely observe and report, but actively push their targets (in many cases hapless losers who never would have acted otherwise) to pursue their darkest fantasies. In the process, MoJo created a searchable database of 509 terror prosecutions."
