Скачать или смотреть Trevor Aaronson discusses his Mother Jones investigation about FBI informants

DemocracyNow.org - The FBI has built a massive network of spies to prevent another domestic terrorist attack. But are they busting plots—or leading them? That's the question addressed by a year-long investigation in Mother Jones magazine. It suggests FBI informants are not only busting terrorist plots, they are actually leading them so the FBI can later claim victories in the so-called "war on terror." In collaboration with the Investigative Reporting Program at the University of California-Berkeley, reporter Trevor Aaronson examined more than 500 terrorism-related cases and found that nearly half the prosecutions involved the use of informants, many of them incentivized by cash rewards up to a hundred thousand dollars per assignment. Democracy Now! interviews Trevor Aaronson.
