Agents Provacateur to Organize Violence and justify $900 Million plus
of security spending for Olympics
----------------------------------------------------------
 
VANCOUVER — Civil rights activists say they are worried police are infiltrating anti-Olympics groups with a plan to influence or direct illegal activities that would justify a crackdown during the 2010 Winter Games.

Robert Holmes, the president of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association, said he tried twice without success to get the Vancouver 2010 Integrated Security Unit to promise not to place "agents provacateur" in positions of power within anti-Olympics groups.

First in letters to the ISU and Canadian Security Intelligence Service in February, and a month later in a face-to-face meeting with ISU assistant commissioner Bud Mercer, Holmes asked that no undercover officers be allowed to encourage acts that would promote violence or death, or to even infiltrate protest organizations unless they were planning illegal acts.

"We asked for a commitment that at least they would not have security people infiltrate organizations and rise to leadership positions so as to have them plan things that then the authorities could respond to. There is something of an Orwellian aspect to this," Holmes said.
