8:13 p.m.: FBI forum addresses civil rights

By Justin Schneider

ANDERSON Better understanding yields better results.

Representatives of the Indiana FBI hoped to lend some transparency to the agencys practices Friday during a forum on civil rights at New Hope Life Center, 812 W. 13th St.

More than 50 people, including members of the public, police and others working in criminal justice, were in attendance throughout the seminar, which ran from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event was coordinated with the Madison County Branch NAACP.

We have members from several police agencies here today, said Rosetta Minnefield, first vice president of the NAACP. They are treating this as a training session.

Thomas Gancarz, assistant special agent in charge of crime in Indiana, said the FBI considers civil rights issues its No. 5 priority; the first three priorities are related to terrorism, while the fourth is fighting public corruption. He said a knowledge of FBI values can foster improved communication between the bureau and the public.

In order to address the problems and issues, we have to communicate, Gancarz said. Thats why were here today. Were trying to put a face on whats going on out here.

The FBI has nine field offices, or divisions, in addition to its Indianapolis headquarters. Those offices can be found in Terre Haute, Fort Wayne, New Albany, Bloomington, Muncie, Lafayette, Merrillville, South Bend and Evansville.

Supervisory Senior Resident Agent Bradley Bookwalter, of the Merrillville division, said the FBI in Indiana is the primary investigator of civil rights cases.

He said cases often begin with the victim, but can also arrive in FBI hands through referral, news media reports and even congressional inquiry. Contrary to popular belief, victims of civil rights crimes need not submit a sworn statement.

One of the biggest, recurring things youre going to hear today in our conversation is communication, Bookwalter said. Having open, honest lines of communication is the only way. If we get nothing else across today, I hope we establish that.

The bureau may choose to open a preliminary investigation or a full investigation. Preliminary investigations usually last 45 days and need no corroboration, where a full investigation requires evidence, and a quick investigation. Agents can call on state and local partners for additional resources.

Indiana remains one of five states with no hate crime legislation in effect. Bookwalter added that the FBI had started a civil rights cold case investigation, for cases prior to 1969, where new technology or investigation techniques could yield results.

Special Agent Daniel Glavach, the only full-time civil rights investigator at the Indianapolis office, spoke in detail about human trafficking on Friday.

Human trafficking has received more press lately, and the issues that come with it are very unique, he said.

He differentiated between human trafficking, which often involves women and girls forced into servitude, and alien smuggling, the transport of illegal immigrants across borders. Glavach said force, fraud and coercion are used in cases of human trafficking, not simply an illegal transport for hire with alien smuggling.

Eyes to My Soul: The Rise or Decline of A Black FBI Agent

by Tyrone Powers

" One of the most readable and important of ....Powers is a compelling writer."

William Jelani Cobb - Washington City Paper

" The significance of this literary masterpiece has compelled me to violate my most sacred rule: never expose your battle plan to the enemy...with this work of art by Mr. Powers, my collection is now complete."

James Wm. Morrison, Esq., Civil Rights Attorney

About Eyes to My Soul

Former FBI Special Agent Tyrone Powers, a veteran of the Maryland State Police, spent nine years as an FBI agent, with posting in Cincinnati and Detroit. He resigned in August 1994.

The picture of the country's top law enforcement agency that emerges from Powers' eloquent prose reveals an organization beset by the same problems of racism that plague the rest of American society. Powers describes sheet -clad students at the FBI Academy impersonating Ku Klux Klansmen. He reports on FBI agents in Detroit raising funds for white Detroit policemen charged with (and later convicted of ) second degree murder in the death of Black motorist Malice Green.

A Black Insider's View of the FBI --

Not a Pretty Picture

New Memoir by Former Black Special Agent

Former FBI Special Agent Tyrone Powers' new book, Eyes to My Soul: The Rise or Decline of a Black FBI Agent (The Majority Press, 1996), is a first of its kind in the history of African American writing. Powers, a veteran of the Maryland State Police, spent nine years as an FBI agent, with postings in Cincinnati and Detroit. He resigned in August 1994.

The picture of the country's top law enforcement agency that emerges from Powers' eloquent prose reveals an organization beset by the same problems of racism that plague the rest of American society. In a recent class action suit brought by African American special agents against the FBI, it was statistically demonstrated that one in four Black agents was under some form of internal investigation. Agents deemed to be too outspoken are harassed and unfairly evaluated. Acts of petty (and sometimes serious) racism within the agency are frequent.

Powers describes sheet-clad students at the FBI Academy impersonating Ku Klux Klansmen. He shows, in an appendix to the book, a flyer which was posted in several locations within the Detroit FBI field office. The flyer publicized a fundraiser for white Detroit policemen charged with (and later convicted of) second degree murder in the death of Black motorist Malice Green. This murder case received extensive national media attention, which makes all the more startling the agents' act of wanton bigotry. White agents on one occasion substituted the face of an ape on the photo of an African American agent's children, displayed on their Black colleague's desk.

White agents, according to Powers' narrative, urinated on photographs of President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore. Powers provides eyewitness evidence of the agency's extralegal harassment of African American mayors Coleman Young (Detroit), Marion Barry (Washington, DC) and Harold Washington (Chicago).

His story parallels similar complaints of harassment voiced in recent years by the Congressional Black Caucus and in the 1960s by Civil Rights workers. The FBI's Counter Intelligence Program of surveillance, disruption and assassinations against the Black movement of the1960s and1970s (COINTELPRO), has received wide coverage in recent years.

Former Special Agent Powers grew up in inner city Baltimore and his autobiographical recollections combine the sociologist's insight with the novelist's flair for storytelling. The problems of the inner city are presented in all their unvarnished starkness. There was drug dealing, violence, gang feuds and incest in the experience of an inner city youth growing to manhood. Some of it was very close to home.

But there was also love, friendship and hope, much of it emanating from a close knit family. The despair and hopelessness of other rags-to-riches tales of urban African America find no place in Eyes To My Soul.

Tyrone Powers immersed himself in the writings of Malcolm X, John Henrik Clarke, Niccolo Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King, Jr. and many others. He earned a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice at Coppin State College in Baltimore and a Masters of Public Administration at the University of Cincinnati, the latter while serving with the FBI. He set himself the task of lifting up his community from its pain, rather than condemning it for its misfortune.

Much of his quest revolved around the figure of his brother Nate, a strong, intelligent African American man, hastened to a violent death by the overwhelming forces of the ghetto. The relationship between Tyrone, the FBI agent and Nate, the brother on the block, provides an intense dramatic quality for the book. Tyrone, with much encouragement from the older and wiser Nate, triumphed over his environment. Nate, aware of the dangers of his environment but too deeply enmeshed in it to escape, died a young and violent death.

Tyrone Powers' experiences on the firing line of American racism have propelled him towards an even greater commitment to helping his people. To that end he is currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree in Sociology/Justice at The American University. He still encourages African Americans to join the FBI, as it is his hope that a fairer, more tolerant FBI will emerge.

Eyes to My Soul is an American classic. It is an epic of the human spirit and its relentless pursuit of dignity, even in the face of overwhelming injustice.

Art Buchwald Couldn't Make This Man Laugh

CBSNews.com Exclusive: Famed Columnist's FBI File Shows J. Edgar Hoover Was No Fan

J. Edgar Hoover, left, and Art Buchwald (CBS/ AP)

(CBS) By CBSNews.com's Daniel Carty

Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Art Buchwald poked fun at the powerful during his storied career - but one frequent target, longtime FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, wasnt laughing.

Hoover, who ran the federal law enforcement agency for nearly a half century, ordered agents to keep close tabs on the humorist - even having one G-man report on a Buchwald interview in Playboy, the columnists FBI file reveals.

Buchwalds columns - including one in which he suggested Hoover didnt exist and was a phantom named after the vacuum cleaner company - apparently rankled the FBI boss. Hoover repeatedly referred to Buchwald as a sick comic, according to the file, amassed over nearly two decades.

The 239-page file was obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, which allows such documents to become public after the subject dies. Buchwald, whose Washington Post-based column was syndicated for decades, died in January 2007.

Editor's Note: CBSNews.com producer Daniel Carty obtained the FBI file on Art Buchwald last year while a student at the City University of New York Graduate School of Journalism.

Buchwalds file dates back to June 18, 1956, when an unnamed FBI informant told agents the writer had received a visa to visit the Soviet Union while working for the New York Herald Tribune.

The informant, whose name was redacted from the FBI files, had been interviewed by Buchwald two years earlier and apparently held a grudge against the columnist for making him, in his words, look like a fool. The informant described Buchwald to agents as a screwball.

The bureau launched an investigation into the Soviet Union trip and found that Buchwald, who was traveling with a contingent of Air Force officials visiting an air show, had committed no acts of disloyalty and no further action was taken.

Buchwald reappeared on the bureaus radar in 1961 when, in a satirical column, he claimed to have uncovered the Orlov Plan. Buchwald often created fictitious characters, and in this column said Soviet agent Serge Orlov revealed a plan to cripple the United States by using right-wing anti-communist groups to sow seeds of distrust in the nation.

When I proposed the plan in Moscow the Kremlin thought I was crazy. But they figured they had nothing to lose. Well, you can see the results for yourself. The seeds of doubt about America are being planted by their own people and weve been making more progress in wrecking the U.S. Constitution in the last few years than my predecessors have been able to do since the Revolution, Buchwald quoted Orlov as saying.

Read Key Documents From Buchwald's FBI File

Not all readers got the Cold War-era satire. Some sent letters to the FBI inquiring about the Orlov plot. John Lindsay, a New York congressman who would later become the citys mayor and run for president, sarcastically praised Buchwald for the "reportorial know-how plus the good sense and good humor to uncover the Orlov Plan. He even beat J. Edgar Hoover."

Hoover, spurred by readers letters, renewed his interest in Buchwald. There is a handwritten note from the agency director in the margin of a clipping of the Orlov column: Let me have summary on Art Buchwald.

The following year, after moving from Paris to Washington, Buchwald visited FBI headquarters and met with Cartha DeLoach, a high-ranking official who rose to deputy director by the end of his 28-year career in 1970. During the visit, DeLoach criticized Buchwald for a column that suggested one-fifth of the 8,500 registered communists in America actually were undercover FBI agents.

According to a memo prepared for DeLoach, Buchwald apologized for having written in the vein he did but noted that he meant no harm and was sorry that it was misinterpreted.

In December 1964, Buchwald turned his pen directly on Hoover, joking that then-President Lyndon Johnson couldnt fire the FBI director - because the lawman didnt actually exist.

What happened was that in 1925 the Readers Digest was printing an article on the newly formed Federal Bureau of Investigation and as they do with many pieces they signed it with a nom de plume, the column read. They got the word Hoover from the vacuum cleaner - to give the idea of a clean-up. Edgar was the name of one of the publishers nephews, and J. stood for jail.

The column attracted much attention, with citizens ranging from Nebraska housewives to Indiana high school students writing to the director seeking the truth, according to correspondence in the bureau's files. In many cases, they received notes personally signed by Hoover, often with enclosures like Communism and The Knowledge to Combat It!

The column did not endear Buchwald to Hoover. In June 1965, an unnamed ABC News correspondent called DeLoach to inform him that Buchwald would be at his house one evening for a monthly poker game, in which the humorist had won money in 17 out of the last 18 sessions. The goal of the call was to set up a prank to throw Buchwald off his game. Hoover was to place a call to Buchwald during the evening informing him that agents had been ordered to pick him up following the article questioning the director's existence.

The crowd of would-be card sharks, which was to include key U.S. diplomat Llewellyn Thompson and officials from the White House and U.S. Information Agency, optimistically dubbed the game Buchwald Will Lose Tonight.

Hoovers response: I most certainly would have nothing to do with such a motley crew.

Besides tracking poker games, agents also filled out their Buchwald files by perusing the April 1965 issue of Playboy magazine. The columnist told Playboy, Youre allowed to make fun of the FBI because they have such a good sense of humor. The FBI agent who read the interview was careful to note the rest of magazine was typical trash, according to internal memos.

Through the years, Hoovers responses to Buchwalds work got more colorful and personal. In response to one 1966 column predicting that communists would win the 1984 elections and actor George Hamilton would be the president overseeing the crisis, Hoover responded, Who is the author of this tripe? On a number of occasions, handwritten notes in the file labeled Buchwald a sick, alleged humorist.

In 1975, three years after Hoovers death, Buchwald requested his own file, at which point the FBI stopped compiling information about him. In subsequent years, Buchwald continued to entertain audiences with columns and numerous books.

In 2006, when he started experiencing kidney failure, he chose to discontinue dialysis treatment and opted instead to live his remaining few weeks in hospice care. Even then, Buchwalds humor was irrepressible.

Still alive five months after entering the hospice, he claimed to have earned the nickname the man who would not die. He even left the hospice in July 2006 to return to his Martha's Vineyard home, where he completed a book titled "Too Soon to Say Goodbye," which included eulogies from family and friends that had not yet been delivered.

He finally passed away on Jan. 17, 2007.

I sent in an FOIA request for the snitches name. The agency sent me all the forms on the complaint but left the snitches name and number off the forms. They did this using the excuse to protect the privacy of the individual. Is there any other ways for me to find out the identity of the snitch.

FBI AGENT TOPPLES PRESIDENT AFTER JOB APPLICATION DENIED

Nixon passed "Deep Throat" over for top FBI job, new documents show
Story by CNN

11:23 a.m. Thursday, November 29, 2007

Oh, the secrets he spilled. Deep Throat's insider information, which he leaked to reporters with The Washington Post, helped lead to a president's resignation.

But why did Mark Felt, a top official at the FBI, become "Deep Throat" and leak the story of Watergate?

His family offered this:

"My grandfather, Mark Felt Sr., is a great American hero who went well and above the call of duty at much risk to himself to save his country from a horrible injustice," said Nick Jones.

New documents released Wednesday by the National Archives show that in 1973, Nixon received a stack of letters from supporters of Felt, recommending Nixon promote him to lead the FBI.

For example, one agent wrote, according to The Associated Press, "Mr. Felt is a man of outstanding loyalty, character, reputation, habits... the fidelity, bravery, and integrity of Mr. Felt are unquestioned."

Instead, Nixon passed him over, and Felt left the bureau soon thereafter.

That rejection might look like the cause for Felt's exposure of Nixon. But, "Deep Throat" began leaking Watergate information a year before Nixon passed him over for the top job.

"Quite clearly he hoped to be appointed head of the FBI. Perhaps by revealing the information in this way, he kept the flexibility of being able to pursue his ambitions while at the same time getting important information about serious misconduct into the public domain," said former Watergate prosecutor Richard Ben-Veniste.

Although Felt waited decades before divulging his identity as "Deep Throat," the unmasking brought old animosity to life.

"Mr. Felt was a sworn law enforcement officer, who divulged to others the confidential files of the FBI," said G. Gordon Liddy, a Watergate conspirator.

Inmate's lies mean 10 more years

ARGUS LEADER
May 21, 2008
by Matthew Gruchow

A prison snitch who admits he faked an accused murderer's confession was sentenced Wednesday in Union County to 10 years in prison for two counts of perjury.

Aloysius Black Crow, 38, pleaded guilty to lying to a Union County grand jury last May and again at a January motion hearing.

Black Crow received a five-year sentence on each count, with the sentences to run consecutively and concurrent with his Montana prison sentence, according to Sara Rabern, spokeswoman for the Attorney General's Office.

Black Crow is serving time for a Montana conviction of first-degree robbery and commission of a felony while armed.

Black Crow's testimony helped indict David Lykken in the suspected slayings of Vermillion teens Pam Jackson and Sherri Miller in 1971. Prosecutors dismissed those charges last month after learning the recorded confessions thought to be Lykken actually were those of a third inmate pretending to be Lykken.

The lawyer for convicted murderer James Strahl, 40, filed a motion in March for a new trial based on Black Crow's perjury.

Black Crow testified against Strahl in a case last summer in which he described in detail how he killed William O'Hare at his Beresford home in 1998.

Phil Peterson, Strahl's lawyer, said Black Crow's prison time probably will have no effect on his case.

"It really was (Black Crow's) plea, and not the sentencing that could have the impact," he said.

An answer to Peterson's motion for a new trial should come soon, he said.

"We expect a decision on our motion in two weeks," Peterson said.

FBI chief comments on El Paso public corruption case

FBI chief comments on El Paso public corruption case
May 22, 2008

EL PASO, Texas - The director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation said Thursday he's taking a personal role in overseeing the agency's investigation into public corruption in El Paso.

"This area has given rise to many issues which this office has moved to act on, public corruption being a prominent one," Robert Mueller said.

But if it's so prominent, why are investigators being so silent about the investigation?

"Until there are public charges, we are precluded from discussing the aspects of the investigation," he said.

It's been several months since we've seen a guilty plea in this case, but Mueller has been staying up-to-date on the case and said this investigation is right on track.

"It's not unusual at all, it's a grand jury investigation, the rules under the federal rules of criminal procedure require and mandate that the investigation be kept confidential," he said.

So far, seven people, including county commission Elizabeth "Betti" Flores and Travis Ketner, the chief of staff to the county judge, have pleaded guilty to being on the take.

Sen. Eliot Shapleigh has been a vocal proponent of the investigation.

"Absolute bribery, that's what's going on," he said. "People aren't going to come here if you've got a corrupt city, they're just not going to do it. I think it's the issue of the era."

Mueller says that's why the Bureau has busted close to 2,000 corrupt public officials in just the last two years.

"What is happening in this investigation is no different than what's happening in other public corruption cases around the country," he said.

FBI AGENTS DO TORTURE

joeb — Wed, 21 May 2008 15:35:22 GMT

FBI staff silenced over torture

Eric Lichtblau and Scott Shane in Washington
May 22, 2008

AS EVIDENCE of prisoner mistreatment at Guantanamo Bay began to mount in 2002, FBI agents at the base created a "war crimes file" to document accusations against American military personnel, but were eventually ordered to close the file down, a Justice Department report has disclosed.

The report, a 437-page review prepared by the Justice Department inspector-general, provides the fullest account to date of internal dissent and confusion within the Bush Administration over the use of harsh interrogation tactics by the military and the Central Intelligence Agency.

In one of several previously undisclosed episodes, the report found that US military interrogators appeared to have collaborated with visiting Chinese officials at Guantanamo Bay to disrupt the sleep of Chinese Muslims held there, waking them every 15 minutes the night before their interviews by the Chinese. In another incident, a female interrogator reportedly bent back an inmate's thumbs and squeezed his genitals as he grimaced in pain.

The report describes what one official called "trench warfare" between the FBI and the military over methods used on prisoners.

The report says that officials at senior levels at the FBI, the Justice Department, the Defence Department and the National Security Council were all made aware of the complaints of FBI agents, but little was done.

The report quotes passionate objections from FBI officials, who grew increasingly concerned about practices like intimidating inmates with snarling dogs, parading them in the nude before female soldiers, or "short-shackling" them to the floor for hours in extreme heat or cold.

Such tactics, said one FBI agent in an email to supervisors in November 2002, might violate US law banning torture.

"Beyond any doubt, what they are doing (and I don't know the extent of it) would be unlawful were these enemy prisoners of war," Spike Bowman, head of the FBI's national security law unit, wrote in July 2003.

In 2003 an FBI official ordered the "war crimes file" closed, because "investigating detainee allegations of abuse was not the FBI's mission".

FBI officials, including Pasquale D'Amuro, then the bureau's top counterterrorism officer, believed the physical pressure being used by the CIA was less effective than non-coercive methods, and "was wrong and helped al-Qaeda in spreading negative views of the United States", the report says.

The inspector-general, Glenn Fine, found that in a few instances, FBI agents participated in interrogations using tactics that would not have been permitted in the US. But the "vast majority" of agents followed FBI legal guidelines and "separated themselves" from harsh treatment, the report says.

My Apologies to the Law Enforcement Community (The GOOD Cops)

MY APOLOGIES TO THE LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITY (THE GOOD COPS)
I was thinking about this post and reviewed one of Dave Lawson's books it explain so much how is it that the Community Watch GangStalkers duped me into believing that they were Law Enforcement Officials. So you are right we NEED the police and the District Attorneys in our side. I bet that many of them know nothing about this Extremist Vigilante Out-of-Control community Watch Organized Stalking mess. Below I wrote about Lawson observations.

-No matter what has happened to me with the police, I know that we need to have the police on our side. I can see too much anger directed towards the police. I think they have a hard job and they will not be helpful if we continue to accuse them of being involved, Yes there may be a bad apple, but not the whole apple barrel. They are comrades, as I think we are, and they have to stick together, just like we do. we do not want them to become our enemy. I have sent police to sites and if there are other people just monitoring this site then you need to be aware of what you are saying and who is a passive participant. Some of them already have looked at the website so I am sure at least one of them will be looking around at links. so far in the past week, I have told five RCMP http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/ about my stalking, but no formal complaint.

"Pretending to be police officers is a favorite... At the first meeting I attended, one young man flashed a phony police badge at me. This was my introduction to the creepy world of extremists... They will have the demeanor of police officers and they will talk about "police matters". Many of them will give the impression that they are police without showing a badge or stating that they are police officers, but others will claim to be police officers... some carry phony police badges... They were talking about arresting people, I heard someone complain that an African American man was crossing the street. "All we could get him for is jaywalking" responded the leader... A common ruse used by these groups is that they are a "citizens group" which assists the police and they are "just keeping track" of a certain individual, for whatever reason. The illusion is reinforced by the case files they carry which are complete with photos of the target and look like those used by police.'
