Color of Surveillance
What the FBI actually learned from spying on Martin Luther King, Jr.
4/12/16 11:06 AM
http://fusion.net/story/289903/james-ba ... veillance/On Friday, Georgetown University’s law school hosted ‘The Color of Surveillance,’ a conference about government monitoring of black Americans. Two of the most anticipated speakers were James A. Baker, the FBI’s general counsel, and David Garrow, an MLK biographer who has documented the FBI’s unlawful surveillance of Martin Luther King, Jr. and other black Americans. The conversation, and the room, were somewhat tense: Baker was cautious and Garrow sharp-tongued, though the latter emphasized that the FBI of the 60s was the primary focus of his ire.
In the 1960s, the FBI used wiretaps, bugs, and informants to dig deeply into King’s personal life, because the United States government felt that his peaceful activism for civil liberties was threatening. Garrow said that much of the information gleaned from that government spying on King remains unavailable, including the informants used. Garrow said he had even been threatened with violating the Espionage Act in the early 1980s (when he first started researching the FBI’s surveillance of MLK) “because of the informant identities [he] had managed to discover.”
Garrow said that the FBI at that time had “an organizational culture of surveillance and of political control,” and that it wasn’t limited to the FBI’s founding director J. Edgar Hoover, who remained its head until his death in 1972 and is notorious for his abuses of power. There were attempts at blackmail and encouragement of suicide. “There is only one thing left for you to do. You know what it is,” wrote an FBI agent in a letter to King that detailed knowledge of his extramarital sexual activity. The FBI also leaked the gossip to the press, but it declined to report it.
Baker, who has been the FBI’s general counsel for a little over two years, didn’t defend the agency’s actions in the 60s. He agreed with Garrow and everyone else that spying on King as it was done was a mistake, saying, “There were insufficient constraints on the government’s authority to engage in national security surveillance.” He repeated a story that FBI director James Comey told The Guardian last year, about the director keeping attorney general Robert Kennedy’s approval of the wiretap order for King on his desk as a reminder of the agency’s mistakes.
So what the FBI really learned from spying on MLK is that it is capable of making terrible mistakes and going too far when it comes to surveillance. Baker, who teaches law school courses, said that the MLK example is one he has used for the last decade as an example of the agency’s overreach.
“You can’t understand the statutory framework in which [the FBI] operates today…if you don’t understand the King case,” he said. He referred specifically to Congressional oversight committees and the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act [FISA] and the courts set up under it to govern domestic surveillance, which were a response to the Church Committee’s findings on the surveillance of King and others.
“There is much more significant accountability and oversight constraints with regards to the FBI’s surveillance activities than there were in the past,” said Baker.
But it would seem that the U.S. government as a whole hasn’t taken the King case to heart. Last year, The Intercept revealed that the Department of Homeland Security has been monitoring Black Lives Matter activists, sometimes at “gatherings that seem benign and even mundane.”
The FBI’s current most high-profile attempt to more easily investigate threats and peer into the lives of Americans is its legal wrangling with Apple over the San Bernardino shooter’s encrypted iPhone in California and a drug dealer’s phone in New York. After Apple refused to build a backdoor into the iPhone, the FBI managed to hack its way into the phone, though it’s still fighting the New York case in court.
The recent legal fight was on Baker’s mind Friday. “We love encryption. It helps us in so many ways as a society,” he said. “But it has a cost. We need to think about it as a society: how will we deal with that cost?”
Sadly, the panel did not address the times that the constraints which grew out of King’s surveillance have been abused, bypassed, or ignored. After 9/11, FISA courts were heavily abused by the NSA. The FBI has used tools like national security letters to circumvent FISA court decisions which go against them, which is incredibly rare in the first place. There’ve been calls for change, but a FISA reform bill introduced in 2015 was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee, where it languished. (That bill’s co-sponsor, Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) is currently behind draft legislation that would effectively outlaw encryption.)
Baker also held up the legal standard of “probable cause,” which FISA court applications must meet, as a bulwark against abuse of surveillance. But as The Intercept and others have reported, it’s impossible to tell how the courts interpret that standard because “only the Justice Department and the FBI are permitted to attend its proceedings on domestic surveillance.”
As a lawyer for the Justice Department in the mid-2000s who reportedly “shared…reservations and aided the judges” concerned about NSA spying and its legality, Baker is certainly aware of the possibility for abuse. But now he’s more concerned with information the FBI doesn’t have, saying electronic surveillance is becoming less effective because of data being guarded by strong encry

Muslim-American Talks About Being Surveilled By Feds, Coming To Vermont

Listen
Listening...
It's come up repeatedly in recent political debates: the idea of monitoring U.S. residents based solely on their religion.
Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas defended his idea of having law enforcement patrol Muslim neighborhoods in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Brussels. And candidate Donald Trump, on the Republican side also, has called for surveillance of certain mosques in the United States. But according to a report by a journalist working with former CIA employee turned-whistleblower Edward Snowden, the United States government already has monitored prominent Muslim-Americans – by probing their e-mails.
That alleged surveillance has up-ended the lives of some of the targeted U.S. citizens, casting suspicion on them and dogging their personal, political and professional lives.
Faisal Gill knows about this firsthand. Despite being cleared of any wrongdoing or suspicious activity, he was ultimately compelled to resign from government service in Washington, D.C. All of this, he says, happened before he decided to move to Vermont, making his new home in Winooski, where he now lives. VPR visited him there recently to hear his story.
Gill says it wasn’t until 2014 that he learned the federal government had allegedly been screening his emails. He was contacted by Glenn Greenwald, the news reporter to whom Edward Snowden gave all the documents that he took from the National Security Agency (NSA).
“So I went to New York to meet with Glenn Greenwald. And that's where he told me that, 'Hey, I'm sorry to tell you this, but between the years of 2006 and 2008 the NSA was monitoring your e-mails.
Gill says one of the many frustrations was that he never had any indication why covert surveillance by NSA and FBI took place. He says permission to surveil his email was likely granted by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court, which operates in secret.
“If you look at the statute, there are four or five categories for why they do surveil people. And they're all fairly, you know, ominous sounding: If you have connections with a foreign government; if you are an agent a foreign government; if you are suspected of terrorist activities. Categories like that, and you know, I had nothing like that.”
Gill says because the court meets in secret, there’s no way to know what it counts as reasonable suspicion.
“The prosecutors and the FBI agents go down [to court] and they issue out an affidavit and say we suspect this person. And then we don't know what happens. What we do know is, 98 percent or 99 percent of all the warrants are approved. And if you go down to Chittenden County Superior Court here and you ask how many ones are approved, I doubt it's that many.”
On being profiled as a Muslim
Gill believes without question that the only reason he was surveilled is because he is a Muslim-American.
“I was born in Pakistan and, you know, and I hate to say this, but I don't know what else to say, is that I'm active. You know, politically, and I'm out there as a Muslim-American and I think that was probably one of the reasons that I was surveilled.”
On the wall in his Winooski apartment, Gill has photos of his three children, and of himself with President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and other government officials.
Credit Kathleen Masterson / VPR
Gills says during the years his emailed was being screened, in 2006 and 2008, he was running as a Republican candidate for the Virginia House of Delegates.
"And I was pretty, always involved in local community, always involved in Muslim advocacy groups. And if you look at all the folks who are involved in Muslim advocacy groups, the list that of the [people] that were surveilled, they're all folks who are fairly active in the Muslim advocacy community. So I think that that kind of had something to do with it.
On profiling affecting his personal and professional life
"From a personal level, when my kids go somewhere, I mean everybody these days Googles you, right? … When they Google me, all this stuff comes up and they don't know what to make of it. So it's affected my kids … I've had you know school officials say, 'Yeah, we Googled you, and it was kind of interesting.'

Phoenix Citizens Academy Graduation
Phoenix, Arizona
April 13, 2005
Good evening. Let me begin by thanking Larry King, who was
instrumental in getting me here. My thanks also to SAC Monroe and the
Phoenix Field Office for the invitation to join you tonight. I am
honored to be a part of your graduation, particularly here in Phoenix,
where the Citizens Academy program got its start.
I understand there are many disciples of Jim Ahearn in the audience.
Jim was the former Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix Field
Office, and the man who started the Citizens Academy here in Phoenix.
We're glad you are here celebrating with us tonight. My thanks also to
the Phoenix Police Department. They gave us the concept of the
Citizens Academy, and we ran with it.
I want to thank all of you for the time and effort you have
contributed to this class. For two months, you shifted priorities and
sacrificed free time to learn more about the FBI. You could have gone
to the movies, read a few chapters in your favorite book, or just sat
back on the couch after a tough day. But you didn't.
Instead, you spent your time with us, every Thursday night, for eight
weeks. You skipped the movie to watch the SWAT team in action. You
traded your favorite novel for safety goggles and a shotgun, and
you've got the bruises to prove it. You left the couch to collect
crime scene evidence. You asked to be informed about the FBI, and we
did our best to "demystify" our day-to-day work, to help you
understand what we're doing to keep America safe.
One of the things you have learned over the past eight weeks is that
our jobs have become more challenging as crime has become more
complex, more sophisticated, and more dangerous. Today, we're seeing
organized crime enterprises launder money for drug groups. Drug groups
possibly selling weapons to terrorists. Terrorists committing white
collar crime to fund their operations. All of them exploiting
technology for criminal purposes.
Let's face it: the days of the G-Men tearing down the road in hot
pursuit of a bank robber or a gangster are long gone. Terrorism,
technology, and homeland security are now a part of our daily
vocabulary.
The playing field has changed--and changed dramatically. The good news
is, so has the FBI.
Years ago, law enforcement and intelligence agencies had a tendency to
work alone, keeping information and expertise to themselves.
Businesses, communities, and citizens stood on the
sidelines--concerned, but remote from the work of law enforcement.
The 9/11 attacks taught us all a painful lesson: we cannot defeat our
enemies standing alone. Rather, we have had to find new ways of doing
things to defeat today's sophisticated criminal and terrorist
networks, like changing the way we function within the FBI and
formulating new opportunities for sharing information and working
together with others, like you.
I want to talk for just a moment about the idea of form and function
working together. Being here in Phoenix makes me think of
world-renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who designed and built
beautiful buildings in Scottsdale and around the country. Wright was
an architectural pioneer who believed that form and function should
work in tandem with each other. That man-made structures should
complement the surrounding natural landscape, and that everything,
form and function, should work together in unity.
This principle of form and function working together in unity is one
that we in the FBI are putting into practice every day.
We are collaborating with new partners in new ways. We are working
with our international counterparts and with cops on the local beat.
We are coordinating with leaders in the intelligence community and
leaders in your community. We are sharing information, technology, and
investigative techniques with law enforcement agencies across the
country and around the world. We are working with businesses and
schools and civic organizations and individuals like you every day to
prevent crime and to prevent the next terrorist attack. We have come
together as one team, with one motivation--protecting our nation, our
communities, and our children.
In short, we have changed our form and our function--to work together
in unity, not just with our law enforcement and intelligence partners,
but also with you--the citizens we have sworn to protect.
The Citizens Academy is one of the greatest examples of how we have
come together as a team. Through this academy, you are helping us to
build stronger citizen commitment and community support. You are
helping to build a bridge between law enforcement and the community.
You are helping to dispel some of the myths surrounding the FBI. Now
you know that we are not "men in dark suits who come to get you in the
middle of the night," as I've learned one of your classmates said. We
are men and women, of all races and ages, working--everyday--to
protect you.
By working with us, you have improved our ability to protect you, and
you have made Phoenix a safer place to live.
Earlier I described how Frank Lloyd Wright designed his buildings,
ensuring that form and function worked in unity with the building's
surroundings. Let me go a step further.
Beyond the structure itself, Wright said that "the room within is the
great fact about the building." He meant that greatness isn't defined
just by the form and function of the building. It's the way the rooms
inside flow together, how each room is used--these are the things that
make a building great.
So imagine our nation as an enormous building. A great building. Now
think of our schools, churches, and civic groups; our businesses,
police departments and government agencies. These are the rooms of our
building.
In these rooms, we come together for a common purpose--to protect our
nation. We come together as a team: the FBI changing its form and
function to fit the new structural realities of global crime and
terrorism, and you--the leaders of the community we serve--changing,
learning, and working with us...all of us flowing together to help
build a safe nation.
You know, from my youngest days, I have always believed in the power
of one. The power of one person to make a difference. But as I
continue to witness the incredible coming together of law enforcement,
the intelligence community, and other communities we serve, I have
come to realize that the power of one also means something else. It
stands for the power of unity.
Within that building we just imagined, we may come from different
rooms. We may have different backgrounds, with different jobs and
different roles in society.
But ultimately, we are one people with one mission: to ensure that our
nation--this great building--will stand strong and secure, and that it
will withstand the changing landscape of global crime and terrorism.
We have much to gain by working together in unity. And through
participating in the Citizens Academy you have taken a great step in
that direction. But remember, this is just the beginning.
Our team effort cannot stop after you leave this room tonight. You
must continue to act as ambassadors for the FBI, helping your
community understand the work we're doing. You must remain part of a
larger community dedicated to protecting America. You must serve as
the eyes and ears of law enforcement...as the everyday guardians of
freedom, justice, and democracy.
The challenges we face are fierce. But standing together, we are a
powerful network, a team that cannot be defeated.
Congratulations on your graduation. And may God bless you for your
strength and for your willingness to work together with law
enforcement building a nation that will stand secure 20...50...100
years from now. You know, whenever I think of you and your devotion to
the Citizen's Academy, I will think of how my 15-year-old son would
describe your support. He'd say, "I've got your back." And all of us
in the FBI would reply, "Indeed you do, and we thank you."

F.B.I. Official Suspended for Reno Criticism
Published: February 25, 1994
http://www.nytimes.com/1994/02/25/us/fb ... icism.htmlPHOENIX, Feb. 24— The Federal Bureau of Investigation's top official
in Arizona has been suspended a few days before his scheduled
retirement because of his published criticism of Attorney General
Janet Reno.
The official, James Ahearn, who has been with the agency for 35 years,
was placed on administrative leave with pay on Tuesday for his
comments in an interview on Feb. 13 in The Arizona Republic, an F.B.I.
spokesman, Dean St. Dennis, said on Wednesday.
In the interview, Mr. Ahearn questioned Ms. Reno's ability to run the
Justice Department, which includes the F.B.I., and criticized her for
rejecting a plan to merge the bureau and the Drug Enforcement
Administration.
"When she first was appointed, I was excited," Mr. Ahearn said in the
interview. "Here was a prosecutor from Florida who I thought could do
an excellent job. But she went to Washington and forgot that she's the
nation's prosecutor. She's become a social worker."
Mr. Ahearn, 53, said Wednesday that he did not regret speaking out.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
David Kairys was born in Baltimore Maryland on April 16, 1943. He
attended Cornell University where he studied engineering and economics
and was awarded the degree of Bachelor of Science in 1965. Drawn to
the law while observing and participating in the civil rights
movement, he entered Columbia University Law School where he received
the degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1968. Kairys finished his education
with the degree of Master of Laws from the University of Pennsylvania
Law School in 1971, where he was a fellow in Community Law and
Criminal Litigation, an innovative clinical law program at Penn that
involved litigation and teaching.
Kairys started his legal career in that Penn program in 1968 as a
public defender with the Defender Association of Philadelphia. In
1971, along with David Rudovsky, he was a founding partner in the law
firm Kairys & Rudovsky (in 2012, Kairys, Rudovsky, Messing & Feinberg;
Kairys is currently of counsel) with the goal to create a public
interest practice to litigate civil rights, civil liberties, and
public interest issues. Kairys won the leading race discrimination
case against the FBI, won challenges to unrepresentative juries around
the country, stopped police sweeps in Philadelphia, was the lead
lawyer in the most significant acquittal of anti-Vietnam War activists
(Camden 28), represented Dr. Benjamin Spock in a free speech case
before the Supreme Court, and conceived and litigated the city
lawsuits against handgun manufacturers. He is widely known for his
creative and regularly successful strategies and legal theories on the
range of civil rights and liberties, police abuse, criminal defense,
and government and corporate misconduct.
Kairys has also pursued an academic career since 1972 when he was
appointed a lecturer in urban studies at the University of
Pennsylvania. In 1980 the University of Pennsylvania appointed him an
adjunct professor of sociology, a position he held through 1990.
Kairys eventually decided to leave fulltime legal practice, and so in
the Fall of 1990 he accepted the appointment of professor of law at
the Temple University Law School, teaching courses in constitutional
law, political and civil rights, law, science and technology, and
privacy law. From 2001 to 2007 he was the first James E. Beasley chair
in the law school. In 2012, Kairys continues to teach at Temple
University, write, and litigate parttime.
Kairys has been a prolific author, writing over 35 articles and book
chapters, numerous op-ed pieces on a range of legal and nonlegal
issues, and monographs related to his legal and political interests.
Most notable are his three books The Politics of Law: A Progressive
Critique (1982, new editions in 1990, 1998); With Liberty and Justice
for Some, A Critique of the Conservative Supreme Court (1993); and
Philadelphia Freedom, Memoir of a Civil Rights Lawyer (2008).
