and the f.b.i. over the powers that the f.b.i. had exerted for decades, under hoover, to gather political information, conduct wiretapping, plant bugs, hidden microphones in people's homes and offices, break into their homes and offices and steal their personal effects. and this was part of the great battle of the 1970's that resulted in the fall of richard nixon. the investigations into government misconduct by the c.i.a. and the f.b.i. and eventually passage of new laws that restricted the f.b.i. >> in that same chapter, you have the following quote. "reverend drinan started shouting. they shoot to kill, they shoot to kill he recounted. i figure the guy had gone completely bonkers, healy said." who is healy and what were -- >> here was an f.b.i. agent who had worked under hoover for decades hunting communists. and he had the job of giving congressmen a tour of the new f.b.i. headquarters which is down the street here across from the justice department. and the f.b.i. headquarters which was located

the f.b.i." >> tim weiner, in your new book "the history of the f.b.i." i want to read this paragraph. "the demand and to see what else the bureau had on him and became one of the first americans granted the request to see his own f.b.i. file. it includes a letter that a suspicious nun had sent to hoover four years before calling father drinan, a communist plant inside the catholic church." what were the circumstances? >> well, this was a congressman, father, robert drinan, from massachusetts. very anti-war pacifist. a liberal massachusetts democrat. and in the files, including those files was a letter from a suspicious nun. saying that father drinan was a tool of the communist party. well, this was in the beginning of a long battle after j. edgar hoover died. between congress and the f.b.i. over the powers that the f.b.i. had exerted for decades, under hoover, to gather political information, conduct wiretapping, plant bugs, hidden microphones in people's homes and offices, break into their hom

or the or the nixon era f.b.i. for that matter i think a lot of it's motivated by this you know what happened in the in the two thousand as the bush administration said our top counterterrorism domestic counterterrorism priority is animal rights and environmental extremism that was the number one thing . and domestically and a lot of resources internally in the department just in the f.b.i. went to the environmental and animal rights extremism and you know as of two thousand and five there are one hundred fifty active federal investigations and i think what happens is just agents who want their careers to succeed look to what their bosses priorities are and they go with it and i think that's what's behind a lot of it and there's not a tremendous amount of of indications that any of this intelligence was was used. in in a pernicious way was just it's just sort of the the the just kind of run amok although the one thing that is there definitely was in chilling i think that went on there was a deliberate effort in in

devices the f.b.i. was denied it weren't for well that would seem to be a signal that they shouldn't be using them if you did not have probable cause to attach a tracking device to monitor somebody twenty four hours a day then you should do it that's just a thought and the same f.b.i. lawyer who said the ruling caused a sea change in the way of the f.b.i. track suspects which is clearly not true he told n.p.r. that the ruling made it hard for the f.b.i. just by saying if you require probable cause for every technique and you're making it very hard for law enforcement and i think it.

to working with the f.b.i. during this trip or week. still that that what happened in a day and the you know if you look on twitter facebook a lot of people are very angry i mean there is a huge following and a lot of people are angry at this. parenting i mean what do you think is going to be do you think we'll see more fallout do you think i don't think so it's a very huge loose knit collective in that you know scattered all across the world but a lot of people that are heavily involved really consider themselves a family and they're saying so just a traitor is just like horrible you know how could you do this to your own brothers and i think that i mean obviously you're going to have some people that are going to want to part ways with the group regardless of what happened but let me put a tweet up from the anonymous you have that you actually showed me but we can put it on the screen for our viewers. trust us you think you've seen the four muscles of anonymous up to now now you ain't seen nothing yet get ready march twenty twelve so

f.b.i. now involved in the search for a missing south bay teenager who disappeared one week ago today. f.b.i. agents set up a roadblock in morgan hill where 15-year-old sierra lamar is believed to have vanished. terry mcsweeney joins us with the newest developments. >> reporter: 15 f.b.i. agents were right here stopping cars asking questions, it was about 7:00 when they arrived. that is about one week to the minute that 15-year-old sierra lamar disappeared. right now they are out looking for clues in case where there are precious few. >> you come through here every day? >> they asked drivers if they travel here often and did they see anything peculiar, anything at all. drivers of all vehicles were questioned. the agency says the f.b.i. is assisting the santa clara county sheriff's office and we doing what we can to support the investigation. we have f.b.i. personnel canvassing tonight and this morning. this follows by one day the all out ground search by rescue personnel including five canin

an f.b.i. training presentation which claimed mainstream muslims sympathize with militants training material saying things like islam transforms a country's culture into seventh century arabian ways in a series of slides and titled strategic themes and drivers in islamic law it says the prophet muhammad the assassinations and executions of his critics the mohammad's mindset is a source for terrorism guy for world nut daily is now doing training for the f.b.i. for the f.b.i.'s counterterrorism officers the view is that there can be no peace between islam and others until darl islam conquers and assimilates its adversaries . now unwired first broke that story can't say that it was huge news it was not every network but look it was covered and that's impressive considering we rarely see the other side of things as they are not how many homegrown terrorists we need to fear but it's in how there are fake terrorism experts were raving around training our law enforcement agencies and bigotry and what'

attacks on muslims in terms of the f.b.i. has been actually sent their informants into wasn't communities because for some reason the f.b.i. thinks that muslims are more suspicious they're a minority group and they're easier to target those women particularly because they often know where he shops are they dress a little differently and. they're easy targets the issue of the f.b.i. i know that in actually new york city the new york city police department has been sending informants into muslim student association and i think this is an outrageous file relation of civil liberties that we have this alleged entrapment pace of the pittsburgh man he says he was a little worried and so making his comments and as you just mentioned the n.y.p.d. they have been accused of racial profiling muslims to what extent do you think racial profiling occurs within u.s. law enforcement. well in terms of these pieces of what we call them is there prosecution or prosecution without a crime it seems to me that we would the united states of america

f.b.i. now involved in the search for a missing south bay teenager who disappeared one week ago today. f.b.i. agents set up a roadblock in morgan hill where 15-year-old sierra lamar is believed to have vanished. terry mcsweeney joins us with the newest developments. >> reporter: 15 f.b.i. agents were right here stopping cars asking questions, it was about 7:00 when they arrived. that is about one week to the minute that 15-year-old sierra lamar disappeared. right now they are out looking for clues in case where there are precious few. >> you come through here every day? >> they asked drivers if they travel here often and did they see anything peculiar, anything at all. drivers of all vehicles were questioned. the agency says the f.b.i. is assisting the santa clara county sheriff's office and we doing what we can to support the investigation. we have f.b.i. personnel canvassing tonight and this morning. this follows by one day the all out ground search by rescue personnel including five canin

of the f.b.i. is trying to say you know we chop the head up because anonymous certainly you know if there was no hope yet there is going to tell about that because that a lot of people don't understand this they see this as sort of an organization and now you know the president has been taken down so the rest will fall and that's not how it is that all the difference different and i were quick to point out that the mainstream media was reporting that to this the leader of this movement was shut down but did you mean to call it a movement is even one thing that i would argue but there is a good anonymous itself calls itself a movement ok well they say that hacking group for a movement and what they're doing is the idea and you can't just. second you think of five guys as we seen within hours of the news earlier this week web sites were already being attacked and like you mentioned security is that it can and this is all in the three or four days since this happened and you know you would think that

they're easy targets the issue of the f.b.i. i know that in actually at york city the new york city police department has been sending informants into muslim soon associations and i think this is an outrageous trial ration of civil liberties that we have this alleged entrapment case of the pittsburgh man he says he was a little worried and see me as comments and as you just mentioned the n.y.p.d. they have been accused of racial profiling muslims to what extent do you think racial profiling occurs within u.s. law enforcement well in terms of these cases or what we call them is a preemptive prosecution or prosecution without a crime it seems to me that we would be united states of america and that once words should not become interested in you of us you are actually criminal acts and we have had instances where muslims were doing anything wrong absolutely nothing on and the f.b.i. has and informants and make hundreds and hundreds of hours of tape recordings to make a case they spent months if not years making a case against these

and when the f.b.i. found out about it they came knocking and wanted to know what was going on and when they did there were good men and women in law enforcement and in the defense community you know from the city who told the f.b.i. who i was and that they thought that my case was was fraudulent. and they did d.n.a. tests it was me. on the on the evening of an execution about an hour beforehand. everybody goes to the back of the cage and takes their shoes off and starts beating on the toilet if you get on it with a shoe it's insanely loud inside the building so all the debt. and maids would do that they would do it a lot but they would do it. this way let a guy know that. he was being thought of it we were going to forget it it wasn't really meant to be disruptive or anything but just to let the people in the building know we're here and we're alive and we know what's going on so usually for twenty thirty minutes or so people beat on the toilet and they stop doing it and give that man some peace and qui

own server to keep all the information and as the guardian points out this would mean that the f.b.i. would be able to search and possibly amend the info that was shared so we could also give the u.s. the key that it needs to bring charges against making leaks because remember there's still a grand jury investigation underway in alexandria virginia so the obvious question here is what do these arrests mean for the group as a whole both anonymous and also proven resilience to previous arrests which is one of the major reasons that they've always stuck with a format where members are loosely affiliated and last week we saw alleged members of anonymous get arrested by interpol they retaliated or after an important us to gauge and they retaliated with attacks on interpol's website as well as police websites in the countries where those hackers were arrested so all the f.b.i. figures out what to do with the hackers they've arrested we're just going to sit back and wait for them to show us what their next move might be. now what we know there are seven hundred seventy nine prisoners who wer

guess i guess that that's what make us feel any better if it's a family is doing it it's just the f.b.i. don't worry they're going to be judged can we even be so sure it's. sometimes we can be. even the better car was we seem so overused on privacy issues well before so really what we're looking at is you know how a lot of you are concerned about who your service is an individual privacy contracts well this is kind of like that sort of u.s. government u.s. government's intelligence apparatus for sharing information now so it could prove or even. in order to enable an n.s.a. system but wired. but we don't know but it's not just the government agency is right but we found out is that this is private industry that's also involved not only the companies out there that are actually creating some of these technologies but it's the telecoms that worked with the n.s.a. you know to help in this in the past then who were given legal immunity and so now if you think about it if you look at whatever it is written to the telecoms are still helping them monitor all of your communications every step o

was that we don't do this at home we have capability and if somebody wants to do it at home it's the f.b.i. that fills up the paperwork that goes and gets the warrant and so in that sense i mean i guess we just it has both make us feel any better if it's a somebody is doing it it's just the f.b.i. don't worry they're going to judge can we even be so sure. sometimes we can be but even then it's not that accountable as we seem to have. over recent privacy issues before so really what we're looking at is you know how a lot of you were concerned about who burgeoning older services and doing away with individual privacy contracts well this is kind of laid back to us government u.s. government's intelligence gathering apparatus has or sharing information now so it could very well be going through yet in order to enable an n.s.a. system the wiretap somebody but we don't know but it's not just a government agency is right what we found out is that this is private industry i thought though in pop and i don't like the company is out there actually creating some of these technologies but if the telec

based firm and of course there is always after the f.b.i. fridays are the aim to expose the feds every single week perhaps the most successful ever being when they managed to record a conference call between the fans and scotland yard while they were discussing ways to take down anonymous but the surgeon that was really got run clearly various sure of course on the fringe. we're looking to try our groups and taurine in. origin on. their own also on water. but what's all this part seems that any attempts to take down anonymous have been huge pile of bets so as to whether or not the latest the wrestle effect the hacktivist collective mission i should say that i have my doubts . now is the presidential campaign heats up auditions will be looking to connect with their base there's always gun rights and the sanctity of the second amendment will be used as a rallying point for republican voters when it comes to another right surrounding or another right scuse me surrounding a very making of a democracy that is the right to vote well we're going to

based firm and of course there's always after the f.b.i. at friday's where they aim to expose the feds every single week perhaps the most successful effort being when they managed to record a conference call between a parent and scotland yard while they were discussing ways to take down anonymous but the search and arrest was really run clear it is very very first year of course on the trail from here. we're looking to try our roots and hard in. origin. for on your side but what's. what's well thus far it seems that any attempts to take down and miss have been futile the best so as to whether or not they've laid at the wrestle of fact the hacktivist collective's mission i'll just say that i have my doubts. now is the presidential campaign heats that politicians will be looking to connect with their base there's always gun rights and the sanctity of the second amendment will be used as a rallying point for republican voters when it comes to another right surrounding or another right scuse me surrounding the very making of a democracy that is

for the f.b.i., it's a bit of revenge.he suspects nabbed in ireland is accused of hacking into this f.b.i./scotland yard conference call. >> reporter: the suspect, who goes by the name palladium then taunted law enforcement by posting the call on the internet. now he and five other suspected hackers have been arrested, including a new yor man who prosecutors say led a cyber attack on the u.s. senate. hector xavier monsegur who sweets antigovernment messages under the alias "the real sabu" is accused of hacking the senate's sensitive files to download confidential information. monsegur, described as a lulzsec leader was arrested last year and sources say he began corporating with the f.b.i. his help led to today's arrests of the others who are now charged in a series of computer attacks on corporate and government systems. lulzsec is accused of hacking the web sites of sony pictures, fox, and pbs, often leaving behind this victory message. vie, is a mastercard and papal were alspaypalwere hit by disru. prosecutors say one o

f.b.i. has joined the search and police reveal they have found a piece of her property not far from her home. that is where terry mcsweeney joins us live from morgue hill with the latest. >> reporter: this is the epicenter with everything going on with regards to sierra lamar. this is the family home and last place we know for a fact she was. she left for a school bus pickup a little after 7:00. she did send a text message and that is it. that led to yesterday's search for her. take a look the pictures. it inspired by the discovery of her black and pink juicy brand purse. we found out about the discovery yesterday even though it was found we are told sunday afternoon. search and rescue teams including five canine crews fanned out yesterday. she is believed to be on her way to the school bus stop. she sent a text a little after 7:00 in the morning. it was standard text and that was it. her phone, the one she sent that text from found by the side of road on saturday a few blocks away from wher

now it's funny that bloomberg added f.b.i. is robert mueller interest speech because the f.b.i. was actually involved in this case at all in fact the f.b.i. was aware the n.y.p.d. had been tracking him intel for two years but the feds never felt that he was a serious threat because he was mentally unstable and they declined opportunities to take the man down so that's why the family was the defendant was arrested by the n.y.p.d. process in a state court whereas usually terrorism cases are handled on a federal level with the f. and prosecuted in the federal court system but the f.b.i. wanted nothing to do with this case so yesterday tell us back in new york state court so he could enter a not guilty plea now defense lawyers think they have enough information to prove that business an example of police overreaching they said we think that when a jury hears both sides of this case they'll see it for what it really is that's not the only thing that might work against prosecutors according to the new york times the suspect got some help and his help came in the form of from intel's n

local law enforcement or the threat something which is contributing to a growing rift between the f.b.i. and the n.y.p.d. now these are clear civil liberties violations if you go after somebody solely for their religion and outcries cause the justice department to look into it but there is a group of muslim journalists activists out there some people that only support a painting and y.p. for their actions to talk about this division within the muslim community here to discuss it with me here is progressive journalists lonnie and. standing alone an american woman's struggle for the soul of islam i want to thank you guys of both for joining me tonight and so also i want to start with you because i think that this is maybe the minority view or definitely the view that we hear a lot less up and so why is it that you want to defend their actions you know i've been a muslim that's growing up here in america and i call one number if i'm in trouble and that's going on because we are not a police state we're not a state where we have to worry about police i think we do in other countries and i t

the f.b.i. is involved and they are say there may be another search tomorrow and no search planned tomorrow for today. live in santa clara county, terry mcsweeney, "abc 7 news". >> kristen: a search of the mother of an iraq war veteran is over. they bound the body of martha gutierrez yesterday. it was spotted off the freeway police say she had been shot. the bodies of april gutierrez and sister was found. she was dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder. they believe he killed his mother and killed his sister and then himself. >> in antioch they are investigating a police shooting. undercover officers spotted the 28-year-old suspect and attempted to pull him officer. the suspect was wanted for stolen property. there was a brief is your suit that started and ended at hillcrest avenue at about 4:00 p.m. officers and suspects' vehicles made contact prior to shooting the suspect. >> kristen: the staff sergeant who went on a deadly shooting spree in afghanistan is expected to be charged at a u.s.

hundred twenty four years in prison whatever ludicrous amount of years it is turns a snitch to the f.b.i. it's not surprising at all you know i guess you could i mean you so-called had his group sort of these attacks on the f.b.i. the cia public backing do they have. none whatsoever look they see themselves as the ideological leaders of the internet freedom movement nothing could be further from the truth what we actually need is a proper debate amongst ourselves as users of the internet and of the users of the entertainment industries as to how the two can co-exist and actually what the anonymous movement does is assume that it speaks for the rest of us soon is that we all agree with them in fact there's absolutely no public backing whatsoever and i think that that debate is actually stifled by the anonymous movement assuming that position now i'm not i'm all up for you know having a serious rigorous debate about the ideas that go behind what they're arguing you know discussing what the status of intellectual property should be discussing how that should interact with the freedom that i

>>shepard: the f.b.i. director answered a question about attacking american citizens on our own soil. >>guest: that is correct he was asked by republican congressman if attorney general holder's three criteria for the wrongful targeted killing of americans asupplied to citizens in the united states and both times he deflected to holder. >> that only apply to u.s. citizens overseas or does that apply to citizen that is here? >> i have to go back, i'm not certain if that was addressed or not. i will defer that to others in the department of justice. >> we asked for clarification this afternoon from the justice department whether it applied to citizens in the united states, the justice department could not imagine a situation where that could take place but we are clearly seeking more clarification. >>shepard: like you could not imagine where it was murder of american citizens outside of our country. >>reporter: valid point. first time we have done that and, i add, in the space of a month three americans were

i actually read the twenty five flyers that the f.b.i. underneath the communities against terrorism passed out and they actually encourage people to call paul in at any number and mention a secret phrase tripwire so it's reeks of kind of the secret stasi reporting on your fellow citizens and here's some of the businesses of a targeted with those fires hobby shops if you're interested in remote controlled aircraft if you're at a hotel and you don't want need service if you're at a mall and you will ride with a group of individuals split up but are still communicating by phone that could be a dry run for a terrorist activity i feel like a lot a lot of us are guilty of some of those things that some point in time. watch next time you go to the car rental shop and you rent a car watch the questions they ask you i've talked with a couple of my subscribers of my you tube channel they want to know where you're going they want to know what you're doing and they're going to question you if you pay cash these are not anyone's concern with your priv

that encourages members of the public to keep watch on well other members of the public according to f.b.i. pamphlets distributed to local businesses potential terrorist activity indicators include always paying with cash wearing backpacks and badly quote and the discreet and prolonged use of cameras or not taking in the cybercafe owners are encouraged to keep a watch on any customers overly concerned with privacy even just trying to shield your screen from others can make you a suspect. first thing government policies or making anti-war statements can also land citizens on the u.s. watch list as a two thousand and nine us defense department categorizes public protests as a low level terrorism we live in a military dominated society. the people are unaware. terrorism is a french you know in nine eleven is clearly. has been exploited and. sustained by encouraging a state of public surveillance some new yorkers of hughes the governments of fostering more paranoia and security alone we are now to say all of the act. this is a listening. you know this is how it be by this rushing yeah no i don

now when we ask the f.b.i. about this, they actually responded to us in a statement christopher allen from the f.b.i. public affairs said to us: >> ok. so it's a very tough standard of proof. did he shoot this guy was it not self defense and did it have a racial component. well now, we've played you the 911 tapes of george zimmerman calling the cops before he had the altercation and eventually shot treyvon martin. a lot of the other media has played it, but no one picked up what you guys picked up. our audience heard the tapes themselves and said wait a minute, you seem to be missing something here. and we're going to play it for you here. it's going to be bleeped out in the beginning. we're going to show you one thing here so you can see where he's saying it. after he says back entrance, he pauses and then he whispers or mumbles, i should say what appears to be fing coons. watch. >> the back entrance? >> are you following him? >> yeah. >> ok, we don't need you to do that. >> now this is so important to the sto
