NYPD Misconduct Revealed in Hacked Emails
FBI agents calls it "damn right felonious activity"
The New York City Police Department (NYPD) really has gone rogue; at least that's what a high-level FBI official believes.
Among the 5 million emails the group Anonymous hacked from the servers of private intelligence firm Stratfor in February, one seems to not only confirm the controversial NYPD surveillance activities uncovered by the Associated Press, but hints at even worse civil liberties violations not yet disclosed. Anonymous later turned the emails over to WikiLeaks, with which Truthout has entered into an investigative partnership.
