A Matter of Conscience: Domestic Surveillance and the FBI
Jack Ryan

Jack Ryan had been a FBI agent for 22 years when he refused to investigate a peace group opposed to U.S. policy in Central America and was fired. He felt the FBI should not classify peaceful dissenters as domestic terrorists and is appealing his dismissal. From the University Lectures Program archive.
