A change of pace

“A declassified FBI memo revealed today that the bureau kept a senior ABC News journalist as a potential confidential informant during the 1990's. The journalist, who was not named, was repeatedly questioned for information about the Oklahoma City bombing.

“The journalist not only cooperated, but provided the identity of a confidential source, a drastic breach in journalistic ethics. The source had provided an uncorroborated tip to ABC during the network's early coverage of the bombing.”

Use of a journalist as a confidential informant “is a drastic breach in journalism ethics,” but no one seems to care that a nationally known, non-profit civil rights organization also works with the FBI to keep track of political opponents.

Southern Poverty Law head Morris Dees “confirmed the presence of an informant at Elohim City at a recent press conference, the paper reported.

"’If I told you what we were doing there, I would have to kill you,’ Dees replied when asked to explain.”
