"Vigorous advocacy can turn into violent acts"

definitely check out justin krebs' (4.00 / 2)

diary about these revelations (that haven't surprised any of us who were involved) over at MYDD

When the NYPD Spied on Us, Profiled Us & Criminalized Us.

...

And at that time, a number of collaborators seemed paranoid when they were nervous about infiltrators...we were asked a number of times how we would deal with agents provocateur.  I'm happy to say that we didn't give in to that type of fear in our planning...but it's odd to realize that in our photos and videos from that week, there are probably a few faces we never saw again, once they returned to NYPD HQ.

Oddly enough, I don't.

Using the specter of terrorism to justify spying on peaceful protestors. Some people have no shame.

...and Dick Cheney? (4.00 / 1)

I believe that the "vigorous advocacy" on the part of Dick Cheney on behalf of the oil companies and Haliburton HAS resulted in violent acts.  If they really must do this cloak and dagger routine, I hope that the NYPD is making every effort to infiltrate the real source of so much terrorism recruitment and other violence-- the VP's office.
