Confidentially Speaking...

The Hutaree snitch, the infiltrator of those Occupy loons with the Ohio bridge (which is just five miles as the crow flies away from me, by the way), the Miramontes brothers...I keep waiting to find out the Colombian hookers were CIs too...

It really does seem much of the LE self-justification scam business model revolves around agents provocateur egging on the low-hanging fruits and then swooping in to become big headline heroes, so we can all know what they just saved us from.

You can always tell the FBI/CIA snitch. He's the one wanting to blow something up or kill someone.
