Harriet Tubman was called Moses for a liberator who slipped the confines of caste when his mother placed him undercover among the reeds in that pitch-daubed basket.

The Negro, historically, has always been in the espionage business. Kudos to 60 Minutes for a nice bit of journalism.This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. Policing potential terrorist threats is clearly a tricky business, at least to individuals who take the protection of civil liberties seriously.

Who blows the cover of a multi-year investigation of a suspected terrorist to get a probation charge? Regardless of whether or not this further radicalized Simpson, it appears like a bungled criminal investigation. For their efforts, Simpson was sentenced to three years probation. The informant “taped more than 1,500 hours of their conversations and finally recorded him talking about traveling overseas to wage jihad.” One informant was paid $132,000 by the government to spy on Simpson. The FBI spent several years tracking one of the shooters, Elton Simpson.
