Records show feds used ultra-right radio host for years

But it was more than a nickname.

For more than five years, Hal Turner of North Bergen lived a double life.

The public knew him as an ultra-right-wing radio talk show host and Internet blogger with an audience of neo-Nazis and white supremacists attracted to his scorched-earth racism and bare-knuckles bashing of public figures. But to the FBI, and its expanding domestic counter-terror intelligence operations in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, Turner was "Valhalla" � his code name as an informant who spied on his own controversial followers.

1. That was operating in a very large gray area IMO

The RW radio scumbag who keeps his RW scumbag listeners agitated & inspired to violence was also working for the FBI. Not like it hasn't happened before. From a previous life as a union organizer, I recall seasoned vets telling me that if someone offers to provide explosives, that's the federal agent.
