Report: FBI paid controversial blogger for help

I'll repeat what I've said before. We need a new agency that is set to fight terrorism, domestic and international. The FBI doesn't know how to fight terrorism. They butcher it every time. Fort Hood is the latest example.

in reference to:

"A New Jersey blogger about to stand trial on charges he made death threats against federal judges apparently was paid by the FBI in its battle against domestic terrorism, according to a published report. The Record of Bergen Countyreported Sunday that Hal Turner received thousands of dollars from the FBI to report on neo-Nazis and white supremacist groups and was sent undercover to Brazil. Turner also claims the FBI coached him to make racist, anti-Semitic and other threatening statements on his radio show, but the newspaper also found many federal officials were concerned that his audience might follow up on his violence rhetoric. The newspaper reviewed numerous government documents, e-mails, court records and almost 20 hours of jailhouse interviews with Turner. He goes on trial Tuesday in New York, accused of making death threats against three Chicago-based federal appeals judges after saying in Internet postings in June the judges "deserve to be killed" because they had refused to overturn handgun bans in Chicago and suburban Oak Park."
