He attended Klan rallies and meetings of buttoned-down intellectual racists in business suits in the most upmarket hotels. He met and hosted Holocaust deniers like German- Canadian Ernst Zundel and British author David Irving. He was there at cross-burnings and street marches, waving a picket sign or a Confederate battle flag and always shouting the loudest of any among his White supremacist cohorts. He drank beer with Skinhead gangs, swapped jokes with them about African-Americans, Hispanics, and Jews, and heard them plot hate crimes and racial assaults. He cruised the Internet, posting racist messages to computer bulletin boards and newsgroups, making contacts with neo-Nazis and nationalist extremists the world over. He infiltrated the inner councils of almost every top hate group in the United States and even in Europe. He even filed a libel suit against another White supremacist who claimed he was an FBI informant. But he was. Last month FBI Special Agent James R. Finchley, a decorated Vietnam veteran and "one of the best and bravest men ever to graduate out of Quantico" according to a former instructor at the world-famous FBI academy who knew him and trained him, came in from the cold at last, after successfully carrying out the longest-running deep-cover infiltration of any criminal or terrorist underworld in the history of American law enforcement. Finchley's fourteen years in the White racist underground produced only a handful of actual prosecutions, but "that wasn't his primary mission," according to the former director of the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit at Quantico, Kenneth M. Lanning. "He was there to listen and learn, and the wealth of information he obtained for us is beyond price." "It is not too much to say that we now know virtually everything there is to know about organized race hatred in this country. These guys [White supremacist activists and leaders] couldn't go to the can without us knowing about it," Lanning said. FBI Director Louis Freeh was not available for comment, but U. S. Attorney General Janet Reno told a reporter, "We usually do not make any public statement on covert operations of this nature until all criminal cases associated with an investigation have been brought to a conclusion, but I will say that Special Agent Finchley displayed uncommon courage, resourcefulness, and initiative in a very complex and often dangerous situation." Finchley's cover was so deep he is reported to have actually married one woman who was involved in a White supremacist group he wanted to penetrate. On that occasion he went to St. Petersburg, Russia to meet and bring to America a Russian woman who was to be the "mail order bride" of a nationally known White supremacist leader who was banned from entering the country because of his views. Finchley was so taken with the woman that he persuaded her to marry him instead, allegedly in order to keep her out of the clutches of the racist leader. Soon afterwards he and his Russian wife amicably divorced and Agent Finchley arranged for her to get a green card and relocate to Florida. Justice Department sources are close-mouthed about many of the details of Finchley's fourteen-year odyssey into the murky underworld of racism and hate. "There are still some loose ends to be tied up, and once this gets out there are going to be some very angry White supremacists out there," said a spokesman for the Department. The source refused to say whether Agent Finchley had been moved into the Witness Protection Program or what measures were being taken to prevent retaliation by Finchley's former comrades in the racist movement. Possibly the most bizarre event of Finchley's long- running undercover operation was when he was accused of having been involved in the Oklahoma City bombing as "John Doe Number Two" by the editor of a racist newsletter who had long suspected Finchley of being a Federal agent. Finchley took an absolutely unprecedented step: he sued the editor for libel and obtained a 110,000 default judgment when the defendant didn't show up in court to try the case. "I don't know if he's been successful in collecting any of the money the judge awarded him," said Lanning.

There's the part that caught my eye. His primary mission wasn't to produce successful prosecutions? IOW, his primary mission wasn't to gather the evidence which would put these dangerous, murderous, white supremacists behind bars where they couldn't hurt the citizens WHO WERE PAYING FINCHLEY'S SALARY?? So then what WAS his primary purpose?? This "wealth of information"--if it was not to be used to GET these dangerous people, what the heck good was it?? IMO, his "primary purpose" was to be an inner link, to link the government with the workings of these groups who knew how to blow people up, create mayhem, scare the populace, create threats which could cow the population into submission--because all of those things are things the government likes to do from time to time, and they figured they might as well harness a few "bad guy" groups to use as fronts for their dirty work. That way, when the disaster du jour happened, the government could reap the "benefits" from it, while avoiding the blame for it.
...and they figured they might as well harness a few "bad guy" groups to use as fronts for their dirty work. That way, when the disaster du jour happened, the government could reap the "benefits" from it, while avoiding the blame for it. Dead on! The FBI, CIA and US attorneys like Chrtoff also "harnesed" a few Islamic terrorists in the US to do their dirty work too-like the 1993 WTC bombing and the OKC bombing. The Siddiqys, Chafti, Melvin Lattimore were involved in the 1993 WTC and OKC bombings! And the Iraqi suspect Al Hussaini worked for the CIA (brought to OKC by James Woolsey and HW Bush) to encourage and help McVeigh and the FBI never touched him despite many witnesses placing him with McVeigh Oops, I almost forgot, we are supposed to think that 1993 WTC was a failed sting operation just like OKC , right?? No complicity by the Feds here, right??
