Man Bites Dog

In journalism, before it was called the "media," a story with a reverse twist was and perhaps still is called a "man bites dog" story. Here's one such story. A former FBI agent has joined the American Civil Liberties Union to advise the organization on national security matters because he is so disturbed by the Bush regime's attack on Civil and Constitutional protections.

According to GlobalSecurity.org in the early 1990s, "Mike successfully infiltrated white supremacist groups in Los Angeles that were engaged in a bombing campaign against racial minorities and stockpiling weapons in preparation for a race war. In the late 1990's, after the Oklahoma City bombing, he again went undercover against right-wing militia groups that were conspiring to harm federal agents. Both cases disrupted multiple terrorist cells, leading to criminal convictions that prevented terrorist acts."

Now he is doing the same against the terrorist acts of Bush and Cheney that are attacking the very foundation of American society.
