Very true, Margaret you make an interesting point, entrapment, which is what the NY Times is talking about, is a very dangerous area.
Of course if the suspect is going to commit a crime and you happen to infiltrate the group, how far do you go?
The FBI, DEA and even the AFT have used deep undercover officers for many years, one of the most high profile was Donnie Brasco (Joe Pistone, his real name) who was deep undercover for 6 years in the Mafia.
This is a grey area, unfortunately there are people out there trying to kill us, because we happen to have a different viewpoint from them, we cannot allow this to happen, so something must be done.
We could carry this debate on all by itself.
