THC 41: Trevor Aaronson | Terror Factory: Inside The FBI’s Manufactured War on Terrorism
Shahed Hussain, Criminal Background of FBI Super Informants
Shahed Hussain, described as a "super informant," maintained a criminal history including murder accusations in Pakistan and a DMV fraud scam in New York. The FBI utilizes such individuals, including child molesters and violent criminals, because their sociopathic tendencies allow them to build and then betray long-term friendships for profit. These informants are often granted immunity for their own crimes in exchange for securing terrorism convictions against others, raising ethical questions about the government's use of "bigger fish" to catch "smaller fish."
