Terry Gross: 本期节目讨论了美国国内恐怖主义的威胁,以及反法西斯主义者通过秘密渗透白人民族主义组织来收集情报和阻止潜在袭击的行动。讨论了这些行动的有效性、法律和伦理问题,以及执法部门在应对国内极端主义方面的挑战。 David Kirkpatrick: 我的文章调查了反法西斯主义者如何秘密渗透白人民族主义组织,例如爱国者阵线和参与“团结右翼”集会的人员。他们通过收集情报,并将其泄露给媒体和民间组织,有效地破坏了这些组织的活动,并导致一些成员被捕或开除。这些行动引发了关于法律和伦理的讨论,因为这些反法西斯主义者采取了非常规手段。同时,我也采访了FBI官员,讨论了第一修正案对执法部门调查极端组织的限制,以及数字技术如何加剧了极端主义的传播和招募。FBI在打击极端主义方面面临着两难境地:一方面要保护言论自由,另一方面又要防止暴力犯罪。 Terry Gross: 采访中,我们还讨论了第一修正案对FBI调查极端组织的限制,以及FBI在应对国内极端主义威胁时面临的挑战。我们还探讨了数字技术如何加剧了极端主义思想的传播和招募,以及国会立法如何试图解决这些问题。
