Another former FBI officer has come forward to accuse the domestic intelligence agency of institutional inertia and faulty intelligence gathering. Mike German left the bureau in mid- June after 16 years. The veteran agent was experienced in infiltrating white supremacist groups and militias. But when German suggested in 2002 that he investigate U.S. citizens in Tampa who were reportedly planning to support an overseas Islamic group, FBI officials would not grant his request and botched the investigation.
