Similarly, one can see the same pattern with respect to how Churchill describes Seth Rosenfeld. Churchill prefers to use ad hominem slurs against Seth. Seth has spent 30 years of research on his subject matter but Churchill is perfectly comfortable writing extremely derogatory judgments about someone he does not know anything about within 30 seconds.

Here is what we do know with absolute certainty:

Ideologues like Ward Churchill never research, discover, and then reveal anything which is inconvenient to their own political preferences. If, by accident, Churchill stumbled across documentation which reflected adversely upon Aoki — we can be certain that Churchill would suppress it.

FBI field offices were required to submit quarterly reports to HQ to evaluate the information received from its informants. Typically, field offices expressed informant reliability in percentage terms, such as by a statemnt that "information found to be 95% accurate" OR a field office might state that "informant is of unknown reliability".

So Ward Churchill's attempt to euphemize and de-value what FBI files show about Aoki is quite disingenuous because FBI Special Agents never just "thought" they had an informant; they were required to routinely evaluate whatever information they received from probationary informants in order to conclude that it was, in fact, accurate and reliable.

Ward Churchill is a very biased analyst. Whenever he has the option of choosing a positive, or negative, or a neutral observation or conclusion about the FBI, he always (without exception) chooses the most negative option or adverse interpretation possible.
