"A House committee concluded yesterday that the FBI shielded from prosecution known killers and other criminals whom it used as informants to investigate organized crime in New England.

"The scathing report also found that the FBI tried to impede the congressional investigation into the long-running scandal.

"Beginning in the mid-1960s, the Federal Bureau of Investigation began a course of conduct in New England that must be considered one of the greatest failures in the history of federal law enforcement," the House Government Reform Committee report said. "The Justice Department made it very difficult for this Committee to conduct timely and effective oversight."

The report (PDF) is titled "Everything Secret Degenerates: The FBI's Use of Murderers as Informants."

I can't get the link to work. I want to read Everything Secret Degenerates: The FBI's Use of Murderers as Informants. Do you know where I can find it?
