back in two thousand and six you became frightened when i was he said for a syrian is true islam tell me how did that happen when i was successful as an informant from two thousand and three to early two thousand and six. working on murder for hire operations robbery is trading life for this is groups. and one day i said as i was speaking to my handler her name was facing head when i said i think. i'm interested in it for trade mosques and she said. oh my god that. amazing new to gold the man a specific kind of man. a certain man who can. with the proper training can adapt in the end to the muslim community learn the language learn the religion and use the religion and the culture against

the muslim community the f.b.i. supplied me with sophisticated surveillance devices they were called key fobs it's like a remote control car book control. maybe between five and six of them. they're always charged and i left them around the mosques where i would frequently pray. ahead when my pocket the entire time always on and i had the other key fobs just laying around in certain places where they wanted me to target like in mom's offices. certain board members offices. certain worshippers cars in their homes so those devices were pretty much used on daily basis some believe that entrapment is

a necessary evil it is a part of the price he paid for national security do you agree with. i don't agree. in retrospect especially because again i. i use those hats on daily basis for over a year. but i disagree. and the reason why disagrees because entrapment methods. never stop it always grows there's no boundaries for it if i can seek out an individual and get them. coerce them in some way to do something they normally wouldn't do. that behavior. from the informant. only grows into more of

a violation more severe violations of the civil rights of americans so i think it traveling the world must be stopped e.g. use dangerous nation that you require you create other informants yes yes that was part of my role on operation flex for example in my conversations or in their private conversations. with say certain things would come up like if the a muslim man was married and he had a girlfriend the mistress the f.b.i. would use that information to blackmail that individual to become informant. or if someone perhaps has a different sexual orientation. the f.b.i. would use that information. to blackmail them to become an informant or

a certain youth if they had recreational drug use. or desire to use certain narcotics and a misdemeanor level. the f.b.i. would use that to blackmail them to become informant you've said early on in one of your injuries that one time you thought you were in touch. because i was protected by the f.b.i. under the bracket of national security so that is the most untouchable bed individual can be where the local police or the federal officials cannot arrest them because of transactional immunity and that times you have any constraints about which we grown yes i did. but.

i was being paid a lot of money at the time. and i was assured by my handlers. that the information that i was gathering and the method that i was using to gather it. was far more important than the violation of anyone's rights. so i continued my handler karen armstrong had serious concerns about the method in which i was test to use to gather information but he was overruled by the operational. reader paul allen to keep me using entrapment types of methods together information how widespread entrapment and law enforcement agents is in the us in my experience and i work with. several federal

agencies and several local police departments. as informants. and i'll say this on each and every operation in case i work on. a large degree. a large degree of entrapment. is the. best justice better the grave injustice. and i believe this the f.b.i. bust rethink their policies and procedures. because i believe that entrapment creates. any. because the impression really is is the bottom line it is setting someone up then the us entrap people who tried to. bribe him yes. i

question flex began in the united states operation flex expanded into beyond the borders of the united states and there were people who were against them in a certain few in iraq. a few in yemen. who were. entrapped. but they would use that method and trap it was used to blackmail them to become informants not lead to an arrest it was to blackmail them now in regards to be complicit he was. implicated somehow in dealing with charles taylor. when he was a present liberia. he was accused of having ties with. our you have been serially. among

other areas in the in the world of africa rather where he was accused of providing arms. and usually when they want you they needing federal authorities the a.t.f. f.b.i. they will arrange some type of operation will lure you in an entrapment manner where you may be innocent of that particular crime but they'll use that arrest to pressure you to plead guilty on other arrests so having known the methods of the f.b.i. the a.t.f. which i work as an informant. with those individual agencies not only that.

i would say entrapment is definitely there are other minority communities in america targeted asked in concert think absolutely no i think muslims today are what the after americans were in the fifty's sixty's and seventy's. i think the order of today. where the f.b.i. needs an enemy. they found it in islam and i think unfortunately the last a long time religious war yes but they will never say that because they can't apply lation of one's constitutional rights. but that's exactly what it is. a war on terror is a war on islam thank you you're welcome. filmmaker

a great champions league sunday's final with holders gas alone after a late two on win over ten men at stamford bridge but this goes through three one i guess and they can manage it and that's a team can't wait to face possible. be exciting to play some games against. any one of the best teams in the world. with some of the strategy. that will suit close and the team to face barcelona well frank lampard first half penalty put chelsea two no up on aggregate. and then feed them has captain actually pereira sent off but the blues and yet another spin are they are to how they got the years ahead but the visitors one goal away from winning the tie but a last gasp blast from substitute roll better with chelsea into the last four for the sixth time in nine years says a repeat of the two thousand and nine sunday final but it's barcelona want to madrid because they are now though scored twice as. well five two and

use the first set to give russia seven hundred million dollars to help the country states the twenty eighteen world cup the cash injection and makes up the bulk of the world cup budget according to russian sports minister told him of course and is similar to the amount south africa received to host the last tournament the remaining one hundred million dollars will come from sponsors the funding will be monitored by a special you body called arena twenty eighteen currently thirteen russian cities are bidding to be among the eleven which will host matches and inspections of those will take place over the next few months. or more in april we're getting just elected all of the news and they will all be named disappear we have decided it's going to be twelve eleven cities so more likely to offer cheeriness or meanwhile is not every russian football fan can go to poland and ukraine this summer to watch euro two thousand and twelve for the first time in a decade big screens work up across the country to show all the games found signs

were set up in last person petersburg and five other cities where supporters who watch every game at the championships on during the day they'll be sporting activities for the kids enjoying evening matches that will be beer on sale for adults former russian midfielder alexis merton thinks the zones will generate a great atmosphere. when a fan wants to watch a football match we want to go with friends normally to a club can choose. almightiness of all of the this summer i'd recommend supporters come to found zones sit in the stands and feel like a possible action and i think this is the best alternative try should be in poland ukraine. and meantime the russian women's football team has had that year a twenty thirty patients high percentage off the last two notes that the group. reports. board by resoundingly win over macedonia last weekend russia's women were in the mood for result against group leaders italy but that prospect was never going to be easy the italians won all of the previous five group games including a comfortable two nil win over russia and it's early and there was also the small

matter of the story look conceding a single goal in the process while registering twenty three but russia's group record only one defeat in five meant they seemed well prepared for the challenge however from the get go it was clear russia was in for a tough ninety minutes just a few seconds in the italian should have scored and this ily oppurtunities set the tone for the remainder of the hof eight minutes on and italy went ahead through veteran patricia penney call who headed home from a deflect across a goal down early on russia failed to get their rhythm when they did get forward it was brief and ineffective but they did manage to keep the italians at bay going into half time trailing by the sole terry goal despite it being a weekday over five thousand people were on hand to give the russian team their focus towards the second ha started with a flurry with both sides coming close to scoring but if that was a sign of things to come it flattered to deceive. the game became weary with the

russians running out of ideas and italy content to sit on the lead but when it looked like russia was finally step of the game they will once again called on the break and found themselves to kneel down. this result of course suited the talents and even though the russian side huffed and puffed until the final whistle the results remained unchanged despite his team's dominance italy's coach had. consider russia to mean group rivals and said the difference between the two sides was simply confidence we are the same but. i was a little bit. more confident about the game russia's coach was understandably disappointed but adamant his team would still qualify for next year's european championships we must think does we could do it for me i have in my head low questions and no negative thinking that we can do it it's impossible we must be

a good place and the people to sweden russia remain second after the defeat two points ahead of poland while having played the same amount of games with a win would have set them up well in the fight with italy over first sports they will now surely have to settle for runners up position which is still far from guaranteed in the end it was too much for the us in the women's national football team the italians willing to kneel on the day but it was a fantastic day of corps ball sun is shining always all of them good performances from both sides and now for the russian team it's up to them to think you're the runners up close to call of choice for next year's european championships and that starts with greece on the sixteenth of june. i visit boxing now where russian cruiserweights tinnies lebedeff has defended his w.p.a. interim title in some style after knocking out sean cox early in the second round in front of his home crowd here in moscow they were there was the clear favorite

before a punch was even trying and although coach looks competitive in a clean round the russians with a stop him in the second this was the thirty two year old first defense of his belt the seventeenth as. now stands at twenty three wins and one defeat and he feels he did everything right on the night. when michel martin yelling as soon as the historic moving bed. during my feet to the edge he was still drawing punches but he could learned and lost confidence you can be the judges where he was the world you poor me i just did my best and i will do them better in the next bellows. well you started the first of the second round i was sure that you would knock him out because. it was obvious that first of all he. found a hole in his defense and it was a matter of i don't know general fifteen seconds if you didn't learn this punch you would have learned it fifteen seconds later so now golds first major of the year

match but there was a dramatic finale truck some pulled one up in some form again can address the minutes ago and they then replaced they go times over the outfield player to try to snatch an equaliser but it was our guys launch it into who took advantage of the light and matter that final score again three want to add one task for now three one up in the best of seven series and one more win to join in on the must vote in the final. and that's all sports news i think.
