npr.org — The best informants are generally very bad people ? ruthless criminals ? and while their information helps the FBI crack cases, the practice of using these informants is fraught with risk. A single case in Boston changed the way agents work with these criminals.....

I'm talking specifically about developing sources - going out into the field and developing sources from inside the bad guy's camp.

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups

Exactly, that's what most naive people believed in Southie too, until they found out not only was he funneling heroin in, as opposed to keeping it out, he was statching 15yrs girls and the biggest f**king snitch that ever made his way up Broadway. Oh yeah, and all the men and women he killed.Even before the truth about him came to light, I still didn't get the admiration my friends had for him. They had the appearance of code, and certainly that was the perception, and some times, it actually even appeared that way, but that's cause that was the stuff people would see. I remember a man with a history of pederast, grabbed a little girls ass and Kevin Weeks came down and beat the living s**t out of him. Those are the kinds of things that would make people think, "They're alright", and I won't deny that I thought it was just, and was glad he did, but even watching that as a kid, I wasn't mistaken about what kind of guy he was.

Thank you Mr T. 'shut my mouth' -- you don't believe in the freedom of speech? Anyhow, NPR shouldn't bite the hand that feeds them, not smart. If you looked, I bet you'd see corruption throughout the government, republican and democrat alike. It's not like it started in 2000 -- that's either true ignorance or naive thinking! The point that was over you head, that you missed, was that in any human made hierarchy, there will be some sort of corruption -- not that its acceptable or good. Anyhow, the only reason the NPR is even around is because of silly-assed laws like the 'fairness-doctrine' which, at its root makes no sense at all.

Being from slightly outside of 495, I had a vague idea. Sure. But some of the things that went down were shocking.

He was always VERY vocal in his criticism of Bulger in his columns. I always admired that. (He'd also rag on him lol)
