Will Grigg's Liberty Minute
January 21, 2008

Until recently, New Jersey resident Hal Turner was host of an Internet radio program notorious for its unstinting promotion of white supremacy and incitements to murder and other criminal violence.

In late 2006, for example, Turner urged listeners to assassinate members of Congress who voted in favor of amnesty for illegal immigrants. He takes credit for inciting the double murder of the husband and mother of federal Judge Joan Humphrey Lefkow. And last December he claimed to be assembling a vigilante mob from members of ?the Klan, Aryan Nations, and Skinheads? to intimidate blacks in Baltimore.

Some suspected that Turner was a government provocateur or, at least, an informant. Those suspicions were validated a few weeks ago when hackers discovered a set of e-mails between Turner and his FBI handler, who was working with the local Joint Terrorism Task Force.

Turner closed down his program and disappeared. But he's hardly the only provocateur of his sort on the federal payroll.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
