Prologue Ira Glass At this point, lots of people have heard that mosques and Muslim businesses around New York City have been watched by undercover officers and informants.
序言 Ira Glass 此时，很多人都听说纽约市周围的清真寺和穆斯林企业受到便衣警察和线人的监视。
The Associated Press won the Pulitzer Prize for a series of articles documenting the extent of the surveillance by the New York Police Department-- 53 mosques, 8 Muslim student groups, and 263 so-called hot spots.
美联社凭借一系列记录纽约警察局监视范围的文章获得了普利策奖——监视 53 座清真寺、8 个穆斯林学生团体和 263 个所谓的热点地区。
And people feel surveilled.
人们感觉受到监视。
Ramzi Kassem, a law professor who does workshops for Muslims to know their legal rights, says that when he gives the workshops at a mosque, often there's a sermon first.
法学教授拉姆齐·卡西姆（Ramzi Kassem）为穆斯林举办研讨会，让他们了解自己的合法权利。他说，当他在清真寺举办研讨会时，通常会先进行布道。
And occasionally--
有时候——
That sermon kicks off with a preface that is explicitly intended for the informants in the room, where the spiritual leader is saying, if you're with the NYPD or you're with the FBI, welcome.
布道以序言开始，序言明确是为房间里的线人准备的，精神领袖在序言中说，如果你是纽约警察局或联邦调查局的人，欢迎。
We know you're here.
我们知道你在这里。
We hope that you'll benefit and grow spiritually as a result of this sermon.
我们希望您能从这次讲道中受益并在灵性上成长。
One Saturday night in Queens in a Muslim community center, the handwritten sign outside says, "Know Your Rights." Three dozen people show up.
一个周六的晚上，皇后区的一个穆斯林社区中心，外面的手写标牌上写着：“了解你的权利”。出现了三打人。
Their kids run around before it starts.
他们的孩子在比赛开始前就跑来跑去。
Coffee in the back.
后面有咖啡。
It's a workshop run by Kassem and another lawyer, Diala Shamas, who work with a project called CLEAR from the City University of New York law school to give free legal aid to Muslims who get caught up in counter-terrorism surveillance investigations.
这是一个由 Kassem 和另一位律师 Diala Shamas 举办的研讨会，他们与纽约市立大学法学院的一个名为 CLEAR 的项目合作，为卷入反恐监视调查的穆斯林提供免费法律援助。
What we are here to talk about today is what many of you have either experienced or heard about, and that's the situation where you have officers from the NYPD Intelligence division that show up, for example, at your home dressed in plainclothes, or FBI agents that show up at your home, at your masjid, at your place of work.
我们今天在这里谈论的是你们许多人经历过或听说过的情况，那就是纽约警察局情报部门的官员穿着便衣出现在例如您的家里，或者联邦调查局特工出现在您的家中，在您的清真寺，在您的工作地点。
And they start asking you questions about who you know, what the imam said at the mosque on Friday, what your political views are, what websites you visit.
他们开始问你一些问题，比如你认识谁、伊玛目周五在清真寺说了什么、你的政治观点是什么、你访问了哪些网站。
Kassem and Shamas told me that sometimes they ask for a show of hands at these workshops, and they learn that every single person in the room has either been visited by law enforcement like this or know somebody who has.
卡西姆和莎马斯告诉我，有时他们会要求在这些研讨会上举手，他们了解到房间里的每个人要么被执法部门这样拜访过，要么认识有人这样做过。
So what we want to do today is nothing controversial.
所以我们今天要做的事情是没有争议的。
We just want to arm you with the knowledge of your rights so that you know how to respond when you find yourself-- if you find yourself, [SPEAKING ARABIC]-- in that really uncomfortable situation where you have an FBI agent at your door or an NYPD detective at your workplace, asking to talk to you.
我们只是想让您了解自己的权利，以便您知道如何在您发现自己（如果您发现自己，[说阿拉伯语]）处于一种非常不舒服的情况时做出反应，即您家门口有联邦调查局探员或您工作场所有纽约警察局侦探，要求与您交谈。
The two attorneys start with a demonstration of what happens in one of these encounters.
两位律师首先演示了其中一次遭遇中发生的情况。
Diala Shamas plays the plainclothes FBI agent who comes to the door.
迪亚拉·莎玛斯饰演找上门来的便衣联邦调查局探员。
Kassem plays the guy at home.
卡西姆扮演家里的那个人。
We're first going to do it the wrong way.
我们首先会以错误的方式去做。
This is how this interaction should not happen.
这种相互作用不应该发生。
Yeah, this is me.
是的，这就是我。
Diala Shamas Great.
迪亚拉·莎玛斯 太棒了。
Can I just come in?
我可以进来吗？
Thanks.
谢谢。
Ramzi Kassem Who are you?
拉姆齐·卡西姆 你是谁？
I'm sorry, I didn't--
抱歉，我没有——
Oh, I'm-- My name is Diala.
哦，我是——我的名字是迪亚拉。
I'm with the FBI.
我是联邦调查局的。
I'm just here to ask you a couple questions.
我来这里只是想问你几个问题。
Oh, wow.
哦，哇。
FBI.
联邦调查局。
OK.
好的。
Sure.
当然。
Diala Shamas Nothing to worry about.
迪亚拉·莎玛斯 没什么好担心的。
Just a standard, you know, we're getting to know the neighborhood.
只是一个标准，你知道，我们正在了解这个社区。
I'm new here, so--
我是新来的，所以——
Later, in the discussion afterwards, the audience points out that this was a mistake.
后来，在事后的讨论中，观众指出这是一个错误。
He should have asked for ID before letting the FBI agent into his home.
在让联邦调查局特工进入他家之前，他应该先要求出示身份证件。
And he doesn't have to answer any questions.
而且他不必回答任何问题。
He could have even asked for a warrant.
他甚至可以要求搜查令。
The crowd also points out that he seems very nervous-- another mistake.
人们还指出他看起来非常紧张——这是另一个错误。
So do you go to that mosque down the street?
那么你去街上的那个清真寺吗？
Yes, Dardal?
是的，达达尔？
Diala Shamas Dardal?
迪亚拉·萨马斯·达达尔？
Yeah.
是的。
Yeah.
是的。
OK, and who's the imam there?
好吧，那儿的伊玛目是谁？
Um, what-- why are you--?
嗯，什么——你为什么——？
Diala Shamas Oh, I'm just curious.
Diala Shamas 哦，我只是好奇。
You know, it's part of my-- I just want to make sure that I say the right thing when I meet the right people.
你知道，这是我的一部分——我只是想确保当我遇到正确的人时，我说正确的话。
Oh, OK.
哦，好吧。
Yeah, he's been the imam there for a number of years, and he's from Egypt.
是的，他已经担任那里的伊玛目很多年了，而且他来自埃及。
I can't remember his name.
我记不起他的名字了。
Yeah.
是的。
Yeah.
是的。
Diala Shamas Oh, OK.
迪亚拉·莎玛斯 哦，好的。
So is it Mr. Abu Jamil?
那么是阿布·贾米尔先生吗？
Um, no-- I don't think that's him.
嗯，不——我不认为那是他。
He's one of-- he's one of the leaders.
他是领导者之一。
He's one of the organizers there.
他是那里的组织者之一。
The agent asks who else lives in the house.
代理人询问房子里还有谁住。
She asks, what does he think about the political situation in Egypt?
她问，他对埃及的政治局势有何看法？
Do you-- do you have an ID?
你有身份证吗？
Ramzi Kassem Yeah.
拉姆齐·卡西姆 是的。
Yeah, sure.
是的，当然。
Sure, here's my ID.
当然，这是我的身份证。
They talk a little more about politics.
他们更多地谈论政治。
The agent thanks him for his cooperation, says she may come back with more questions.
代理人感谢他的合作，并表示她可能会带着更多问题回来。
Thank you, Agent.
谢谢你，特工。
Diala Shamas Have a good day.
迪亚拉·莎玛斯祝你有美好的一天。
[APPLAUSE] Ramzi Kassem You should not be applauding that performance.
[鼓掌] Ramzi Kassem 你不应该为那次表演鼓掌。
[LAUGHTER] Diala Shamas What went wrong in this?
[笑声] Diala Shamas 这出了什么问题？
[INAUDIBLE] there was a lot of volunteering information [INAUDIBLE].
[听不清] 有很多志愿服务信息 [听不清]。
So the brother's pointing out that there was a lot of volunteering of information.
所以兄弟指出有很多自愿提供的信息。
So it's difficult, right?
所以这很难，对吧？
Because I was being sort of friendly.
因为我表现得很友好。
And why wouldn't you volunteer that information if you don't think that you've done anything wrong?
如果您不认为自己做错了什么，为什么不主动提供这些信息呢？
I was just asking a couple of seemingly benign questions, just trying to get to know the neighborhood.
我只是问了几个看似善意的问题，只是想了解一下这个社区。
And the only problem with that, the two lawyers tell the crowd, is that the more you say, the more you could accidentally be incriminating yourself.
两位律师告诉人群，唯一的问题是，你说得越多，你就越有可能不小心让自己入罪。
Especially dangerous, they say, were those moments in the demonstration where Kassem was nervously stumbling around, not sure what to say, trying to remember.
他们说，特别危险的是示威中卡西姆紧张地跌跌撞撞的那些时刻，不知道该说什么，试图记住。
--more specific.
——更具体一些。
Under federal law in the United States, lying to a federal agent is a federal offense.
根据美国联邦法律，向联邦特工撒谎属于联邦犯罪。
It's a crime.
这是犯罪行为。
And it's a crime that's being charged since 9/11 disproportionately against Muslims.
自 9/11 事件以来，这种犯罪行为主要针对穆斯林。
So the moment that you have that interaction with the federal agent-- let's say I didn't remember something.
因此，当你与联邦特工进行互动时，假设我不记得什么了。
Diala asks me a question-- oh, you're friends with Cyrus?
迪亚拉问我一个问题——哦，你是赛勒斯的朋友吗？
Where were you last Tuesday?
上周二你在哪里？
And I say, oh, I think we were camping.
我说，哦，我想我们正在露营。
But maybe she spoke to Cyrus before, and Cyrus said something different.
但也许她之前和赛勒斯谈过，而赛勒斯说了不同的话。
So all of a sudden, there's a discrepancy.
所以突然之间就出现了差异。
Either I'm in trouble or Cyrus in trouble.
要么我有麻烦，要么赛勒斯有麻烦。
And so even having that very basic conversation--
所以即使进行了非常基本的对话——
Because of this, he tells the group over and over, he says this-- if the FBI or NYPD comes around asking these general questions, it is best to get a lawyer.
因此，他一遍又一遍地告诉大家，如果联邦调查局或纽约警察局过来询问这些一般性问题，最好找律师。
We're not saying never talk to them.
我们并不是说永远不要与他们交谈。
That's not what we're saying.
我们不是这么说的。
What we're saying is do it in a way that is responsible.
我们所说的是以负责任的方式去做。
And the only way you do that is by bringing in someone that can help you even out the balance of power, so you don't do it at a disadvantage.
而做到这一点的唯一方法就是引入可以帮助你平衡权力平衡的人，这样你就不会处于劣势。
You're not an untrained civilian talking to trained FBI interrogators who know the law and you do not know the law.
你不是一个未经训练的平民，与训练有素的联邦调查局审讯员交谈，他们了解法律，而你却不懂法律。
This lesson does not go down easily with everybody here.
这里的每个人都不容易接受这个教训。
Somebody brings up the question of what to do when an officer on the street asks to search your handbag.
有人提出这样的问题：当街上的警察要求搜查你的手提包时该怎么办。
A man says, well, if you have nothing to hide, let them do it.
一个人说，好吧，如果你没有什么可隐瞒的，那就让他们来吧。
A woman says, if I say no, it'll just make them more suspicious of me.
一个女人说，如果我拒绝，只会让他们更加怀疑我。
Another man says, in these situations he doesn't want to do anything that might antagonize them.
另一个人说，在这种情况下，他不想做任何可能激怒他们的事情。
[INAUDIBLE].
[听不清]。
Ramzi Kassem What the gentleman here was saying is, these are basically really tense situations and you don't want to aggravate the agent, you don't want to offend them, you don't want to be-- you don't want the situation to escalate.
拉姆齐·卡西姆：这位先生所说的是，这些基本上都是非常紧张的情况，你不想激怒特工，你不想冒犯他们，你不想 - 你不想让情况升级。
So be polite, but be firm.
所以要有礼貌，但要坚定。
Don't be like me.
别像我一样。
As you all saw, I wasn't confident.
正如你们都看到的，我没有信心。
I was very nervous.
我很紧张。
I let her run all over me.
我让她在我身上跑来跑去。
But you can be polite, you can be firm, and you can exercise your right.
但你可以有礼貌，你可以坚定，你可以行使你的权利。
And it's nothing controversial.
这没有什么争议。
It's what Martha Stewart does.
这就是玛莎·斯图尔特所做的。
When she was approached by the FBI, she didn't talk to them directly.
当联邦调查局联系她时，她没有直接与他们交谈。
She retained lawyers.
她聘请了律师。
When President Clinton was under investigation, he had a team of lawyers.
当克林顿总统接受调查时，他有一个律师团队。
So that's the safe, responsible way to do it.
所以这是安全、负责任的方式。
And it's not being uncooperative.
而且这并不是不合作。
It's actually the most American thing to do.
这实际上是最美国化的事情。
It's an uneasy time between some Muslim communities and law enforcement right now.
目前，一些穆斯林社区和执法部门之间正处于一段不安的时期。
Kassem and Shamas do a whole workshop on what to do if you think that there's an undercover informant infiltrating your mosque or student group.
卡西姆和莎马斯举办了一个完整的研讨会，讨论如果您认为有卧底线人渗透到您的清真寺或学生团体中该怎么办。
They say maybe 10 times this past year, some group has come to them with that worry.
他们说，去年大约有 10 次，一些团体带着这种担忧来找他们。
It's hard for some people not to feel a little paranoid.
有些人很难不感到有点偏执。
And if you can't imagine how somebody gets to that point, what the experience is that drives you there, we have a story today about what happened at one mosque where an undercover informant went in and things seemed to go very badly wrong.
如果你无法想象某人是如何达到这一点的，是什么经历驱使你到达那里，我们今天有一个故事，讲述在一座清真寺发生的事情，一名卧底线人闯入，事情似乎变得非常严重。
Not just from the point of view of the congregation.
不仅仅是从会众的角度来看。
The informant is not happy about how it worked out, and we presume the FBI can't be too pleased, either.
线人对事情的结果并不满意，我们认为联邦调查局也不会太高兴。
They've alienated the very people in the Muslim community who wanted to work with them.
他们疏远了穆斯林社区中那些想与他们合作的人。
Beyond all that, it's a compelling and very weird case.
除此之外，这是一个引人注目且非常奇怪的案例。
From WBEZ Chicago, it's This American Life, distributed by Public Radio International.
这是来自芝加哥 WBEZ 的《This American Life》，由国际公共广播电台发行。
I'm Ira Glass.
我是艾拉·格拉斯。
Stay with us.
留在我们身边。
Act one-- Gym Rat.
第一幕——健身房老鼠。
So a caveat before we start this-- although the tactics used by the FBI in this story are tactics that they use in other cases, this story is not about how things typically go in an FBI investigation.
因此，在我们开始之前需要注意的是，尽管联邦调查局在这个故事中使用的策略是他们在其他案件中使用的策略，但这个故事并不是关于联邦调查局调查中通常情况下的情况。
This is an outlier.
这是一个异常值。
It is a cautionary tale.
这是一个警示故事。
Is a case where we can watch everything go wrong.
在这种情况下，我们可以看到一切都出错。
It happened in California, in Orange County, in 2006.
2006年，这件事发生在加利福尼亚州奥兰治县。
And at that point, at least one homegrown terrorist had come out of an Orange County mosque and gone to work with Osama bin Laden, was on the FBI's most wanted terrorist list.
那时，至少有一名本土恐怖分子从奥兰治县的一座清真寺出来，并与奥萨马·本·拉登一起工作，成为联邦调查局通缉的恐怖分子名单。
And relations between the FBI and Muslims in Orange County, California were already on edge before this story began.
在这个故事开始之前，联邦调查局和加利福尼亚州奥兰治县的穆斯林之间的关系就已经处于紧张状态。
So on edge that the head of the FBI for Los Angeles, Stephen Tidwell, decided they should do a town meeting at a mosque in Orange County.
因此，洛杉矶联邦调查局局长斯蒂芬·蒂德韦尔决定，他们应该在奥兰治县的一座清真寺举行一次城镇会议。
It was the Islamic Center of Irvine, where he said emphatically that the FBI was not monitoring Muslim student groups in the area or the mosque itself.
那是尔湾伊斯兰中心，他在那里强调说，联邦调查局没有监视该地区的穆斯林学生团体或清真寺本身。
The crowd did not buy this.
群众对此并不买账。
Somebody in the audience told Tidwell that it would be naive for them to believe that the FBI was not monitoring the mosque.
观众中有人告诉蒂德韦尔，如果他们认为联邦调查局没有监视这座清真寺，那就太天真了。
Everyone should understand that they were being monitored, he said.
他说，每个人都应该明白他们正在受到监视。
Tidwell interrupted-
蒂德韦尔打断道——
If we're going to come to mosques to come to service, we will tell you we're coming to service.
如果我们要去清真寺提供服务，我们会告诉您我们正在提供服务。
You will send your agents without anybody knowing.
你会在没有人知道的情况下派出你的代理人。
The man in the audience replied, you will send your agents without anybody knowing.
观众席上的人回答说，你会在任何人不知情的情况下派出你的代理人。
But what I'm saying, FBI, we will tell you we're coming, for the very reason we don't want you to think you're being monitored.
但我要说的是，联邦调查局，我们会告诉你我们会来，正是因为我们不想让你认为你正在受到监视。
That was June 5, 2006.
那是2006年6月5日。
As best as we can determine from people at the mosque and from testimony in court, two months after Tidwell reassured them that the FBI would not monitor them without telling them, the FBI placed an undercover informant in the mosque.
据我们从清真寺里的人和法庭上的证词可以确定的是，在蒂德韦尔向他们保证联邦调查局不会在没有通知他们的情况下监视他们两个月后，联邦调查局在清真寺里安置了一名卧底线人。
And this is where our story begins.
这就是我们的故事开始的地方。
Sam Black is our reporter.
萨姆·布莱克是我们的记者。
The informant in this story is named Craig Monteilh, and like a lot of people who go undercover to catch criminals, he used to be a criminal himself.
这个故事中的线人名叫克雷格·蒙泰尔（Craig Monteilh），和许多卧底抓捕罪犯的人一样，他自己也曾经是一名罪犯。
He's done time for forging checks, embezzlement, and grand theft.
他曾因伪造支票、贪污和盗窃而受过刑。
At one point, he made a living stealing cocaine from drug dealers.
一度，他以从毒贩那里偷可卡因为生。
As I reported this story, people who know him described him as a snake, a chameleon, a thug scam artist, and quote, "a piece of [BLEEP]."
当我报道这个故事时，认识他的人将他描述为一条蛇、一条变色龙、一个暴徒诈骗艺术家，并引用了“一段[BLEEP]”。
And Craig says some pretty far-fetched things, like this list of aliases.
克雷格说了一些相当牵强的话，比如这个别名列表。
He told me he used all of these in undercover stings.
他告诉我他在秘密刺杀中使用了所有这些。
Italian drug dealer Vincent Donado.
意大利毒贩文森特·多纳多。
A Russian hitman by the name of Ivan Chernyenko.
俄罗斯杀手，名叫伊万·切尔延科。
Colombian drug dealer Pedro Hernandez.
哥伦比亚毒贩佩德罗·埃尔南德斯。
A Bulgarian drug dealer by the name of Sergei Gurd.
保加利亚毒贩谢尔盖·古德。
Also, I went by Polish names.
另外，我用的是波兰名字。
One was Lech Vlesky.
莱赫·弗莱斯基就是其中之一。
It's unclear if any of these are real.
目前尚不清楚这些是否属实。
But some of the unlikely things Craig says do check out, like the fact that he worked on a counter-terrorism operation for the FBI.
但克雷格所说的一些不太可能发生的事情确实得到了证实，比如他曾为联邦调查局的反恐行动工作过。
The Bureau has confirmed this.
局方已证实此事。
In 2006, the FBI enlisted him to go undercover to catch people who were recruiting and training terrorists.
2006年，联邦调查局邀请他卧底抓捕招募和训练恐怖分子的人。
Craig says it all began at a strip mall Starbucks, where he met with two FBI agents, Paul Allen and Kevin Armstrong.
克雷格说，这一切都始于一家露天购物中心星巴克，在那里他会见了两名联邦调查局特工保罗·艾伦和凯文·阿姆斯特朗。
He says they told them they wanted him to go undercover.
他说他们告诉他们希望他去卧底。
They'd pay him to infiltrate the Muslim community in Orange County.
他们付钱让他渗透到奥兰治县的穆斯林社区。
Which is a funny thought, because Craig's not the most inconspicuous guy.
这是一个有趣的想法，因为克雷格并不是最不起眼的人。
I'm 6'2", 260 pounds.
我身高 6 英尺 2 英寸，体重 260 磅。
It's not fat.
这并不胖。
It's lean body mass.
这是去脂体重。
I bench 500 pounds.
我卧推500磅。
I have 21 and 1/2-inch arms.
我的手臂长 21 又 1/2 英寸。
But according to Craig, the FBI wanted to use his lean body mass to their advantage.
但据克雷格称，联邦调查局希望利用他的瘦体重来为他们谋取利益。
I was to lure Muslim males into the gym using my physique to see what actually is the real pulse of the Muslim community.
我要利用我的体格吸引穆斯林男性进入健身房，看看穆斯林社区的真正脉搏到底是什么。
They told me what I did was vital to America's national security, and to do exactly what they said.
他们告诉我，我所做的事情对美国的国家安全至关重要，并且要严格按照他们所说的去做。
And did they have particular targets in the Muslim community in mind?
他们在穆斯林社区中是否有特定的目标？
No. They said the targets would come to me.
不，他们说目标会来找我。
The FBI wouldn't talk to me for this story because the operation is still classified and because it's the subject of a lawsuit.
联邦调查局不会就这个故事与我交谈，因为该行动仍然属于机密，而且是诉讼的主题。
But the FBI later confirmed in court that Craig was an undercover informant.
但联邦调查局后来在法庭上证实克雷格是一名卧底线人。
A district attorney also stated in court that Craig did work with Agent Kevin Armstrong, and that Craig had given the FBI, quote, "very, very valuable information." The FBI also confirmed one other thing-- the name of Craig's operation.
一名地区检察官还在法庭上表示，克雷格确实与探员凯文·阿姆斯特朗合作，并且克雷格向联邦调查局提供了“非常非常有价值的信息”。联邦调查局还确认了另一件事——克雷格的行动名称。
Operation Flex.
灵活行动。
F-L-E-X.
F-L-E-X。
Sam Black One Thursday in August 2006, Craig showed up at the Islamic Center of Irvine, one of the biggest mosques in Orange County, and met with the imam there.
Sam Black 2006 年 8 月的一个星期四，克雷格出现在奥兰治县最大的清真寺之一欧文伊斯兰中心，并会见了那里的伊玛目。
Craig told him that he wanted to convert to Islam.
克雷格告诉他，他想皈依伊斯兰教。
The next day after Friday prayers, Craig stood on a stage in front of hundreds of people and declared that he was now a Muslim, with a new Muslim name-- Farouk al-Aziz.
周五祈祷后的第二天，克雷格站在数百人面前的讲台上，宣布他现在是一名穆斯林，并有一个新的穆斯林名字——法鲁克·阿齐兹。
People who were in the mosque that day remember it well, the first time they saw this new convert, Farouk.
那天在清真寺里的人们都记得很清楚，他们第一次见到这位新皈依者法鲁克。
Picture, like, a 300-pound linebacker that has a ridiculously wide frame and then huge, massive legs.
想象一下，一个 300 磅重的线卫，有着宽得离谱的身躯和巨大的双腿。
His biceps were just, like, my whole thigh, basically.
他的二头肌基本上就像我的整个大腿一样。
He was a big guy.
他是个大人物。
At the beginning, I was kind of, you know, kind of scared from him.
一开始，我有点，你知道，有点害怕他。
[LAUGHS] He was kind of scary, to me, looking.
[笑]对我来说，他看起来有点可怕。
Over the next few weeks, Craig started showing up at the nearby 24 Hour Fitness, a gym where a lot of the guys from the Irvine Mosque would work out.
在接下来的几周里，克雷格开始出现在附近的 24 小时健身中心，这是一家来自尔湾清真寺的很多人都会锻炼的健身房。
And when he wasn't at the gym, he was at the mosque.
当他不在健身房时，他就在清真寺。
He attended prayer five times a day.
他每天参加五次祈祷。
One of the people who noticed Craig was an Egyptian guy named Ayman.
注意到克雷格的人之一是一位名叫艾曼的埃及人。
He asked that I not use his last name.
他要求我不要使用他的姓氏。
Every day you would see him in the mosque.
每天你都会在清真寺里看到他。
Every day you would see him.
每天你都会见到他。
But he would be sitting alone.
但他会独自坐着。
You don't know if he has friends or if he's struggling to understand what's going on.
你不知道他是否有朋友，也不知道他是否正在努力理解正在发生的事情。
You feel bad.
你感觉很糟糕。
This guy, he's new to Islam.
这家伙，他是伊斯兰教的新手。
Probably either he's afraid or curious or something.
可能是他害怕或者好奇什么的。
I don't know.
我不知道。
You don't know.
你不知道。
You just want to be as friendly as you can.
你只是想尽可能友好。
Ayman lived in a house just around the corner from the mosque with a few other Egyptians.
艾曼和其他几个埃及人住在清真寺附近的一所房子里。
One day, he decided to introduce himself to Craig.
有一天，他决定向克雷格介绍自己。
I believe it was after the Dhuhr prayer, which is the one at 1 o'clock.
我相信那是在杜尔祈祷之后，即凌晨 1 点的祈祷。
I went to him and I said, hey, salaam alaikum, peace upon you, basically.
我去找他，我说，嘿，祝你平安，基本上。
And, hey, my name's Ayman.
嘿，我叫艾曼。
He says, it's been about four weeks, right?
他说，已经大约四个星期了，对吧？
You're still here.
你还在这里。
Craig remembered this too.
克雷格也记得这一点。
Craig Montielh I said yes.
克雷格·蒙蒂尔 我说是的。
He said, well, usually people just, new converts, after a few weeks they leave.
他说，嗯，通常人们只是新皈依者，几周后就会离开。
They fall by the wayside.
他们半途而废。
I said, well, not me.
我说，好吧，不是我。
I'm a real Muslim.
我是一个真正的穆斯林。
And I told him, here's my number.
我告诉他，这是我的电话号码。
And I wrote my number on a piece of paper.
我把我的号码写在一张纸上。
If you have any question about anything, like in your head about the religion, or if you need anything that I can help you with, I would love to.
如果您对任何事情有任何疑问，例如您对宗教的疑问，或者如果您需要我可以帮助您的任何事情，我很乐意。
He said, well, we're Egyptian.
他说，好吧，我们是埃及人。
We get together after prayer on Fridays and during the weekends, and we all barbecue, have food together.
我们周五和周末祈祷后聚在一起，一起烧烤、吃饭。
Maybe you can come by and we'll talk to you more about your faith and how you can grow as a Muslim.
也许您可以过来，我们会与您更多地讨论您的信仰以及如何成长为穆斯林。
From there, when I went home, I thought, I'm really in.
从那时起，当我回家时，我想，我真的进去了。
Craig's new friend Ayman lived with four unmarried Egyptian men, all in their late 20s or early 30s.
克雷格的新朋友艾曼与四名未婚埃及男子住在一起，他们都是二十多岁或三十出头。
One was an accountant.
其中一人是一名会计师。
Another worked for a logistics company.
另一人在一家物流公司工作。
There was a guy who worked in pharmaceuticals and an IT consultant.
有一个人在制药行业工作，同时也是一名 IT 顾问。
They each traveled occasionally, sometimes for work or sometimes back home to Egypt.
他们每个人都偶尔旅行，有时是为了工作，有时是回埃及的家。
Craig says his FBI handlers suspected the roommates might be a terrorist cell that would radicalize him, so he arrived at their house ready for anything.
克雷格说，他的联邦调查局官员怀疑这些室友可能是一个恐怖组织，会让他变得激进，所以他来到他们家，做好了一切准备。
Well, first of all, they made some Egyptian food, which was very good.
嗯，首先，他们做了一些埃及菜，非常好吃。
Delicious food.
美味的食物。
And we sat on the couch for about maybe a couple of hours, just had conversation.
我们在沙发上坐了大约几个小时，只是进行了交谈。
And they would play their Xbox while we're having conversation in a very competitive way.
当我们以一种非常有竞争力的方式进行交谈时，他们会玩 Xbox。
I was engaged at the time, but I used to play more Xbox than spending time with my fiancee.
当时我订婚了，但我玩 Xbox 的时间比和未婚妻在一起的时间还多。
It's, like, 80% Xbox, and everything else comes second.
就像 80% 的 Xbox，其他一切都排在第二位。
That's Ayman again.
又是艾曼。
He and his friends were ridiculously obsessed with Xbox.
他和他的朋友们对 Xbox 的痴迷程度可笑。
They'd play tournaments for five hours a day, and they only played one game.
他们每天打五个小时的锦标赛，但只打一场比赛。
FIFA Soccer.
国际足联足球。
That was the only thing.
这是唯一的事情。
We played a lot of FIFA .
我们玩了很多《FIFA》。
We still play a lot of FIFA .
我们仍然玩很多FIFA。
Yasser AbdelRahim was one of Ayman's roommates, a tall athletic guy who worked as a tech consultant.
亚西尔·阿卜杜勒·拉希姆 (Yasser AbdelRahim) 是艾曼的室友之一，他身材高大、运动健壮，担任技术顾问。
He'd lived in the US for about 10 years.
他在美国生活了大约10年。
Yassir and Ayman considered their house a brotherhood, but as he told me and my producer Brian Reed, not really the militant terror cell kind Craig was looking for.
亚西尔和艾曼认为他们的家族是兄弟情谊，但正如他告诉我和我的制片人布莱恩·里德的那样，他们并不是克雷格所寻找的真正的好战恐怖分子。
We'd all just hang out together, and a lot of my friends would actually kind of come in and say, this is kind of like the frat house, right?
我们只是一起出去玩，我的很多朋友实际上会进来说，这有点像兄弟会，对吧？
But obviously, we didn't drink, so--
但显然，我们没有喝酒，所以——
A frat house without alcohol.
兄弟会之家没有酒精。
Yasser AbdelRahim A kosher frat house, yes.
Yasser AbdelRahim 是的，犹太兄弟会。
[LAUGHS]
[笑]
Craig's plan worked.
克雷格的计划成功了。
Yassir and Ayman started inviting him over more and more.
亚西尔和艾曼开始越来越多地邀请他过来。
They'd hang out together, get coffee, go to the movies.
他们会一起出去玩，喝咖啡，看电影。
When Craig got sick, they went to his house to keep him company.
当克雷格生病时，他们去他家陪伴他。
They bought him books about Islam and brought him back gifts from their trips to Egypt.
他们给他买了有关伊斯兰教的书籍，并给他带回了埃及之行的礼物。
Here's Ayman and then Yassir.
这是艾曼，然后是亚西尔。
He was a super cool guy.
他是一个超级酷的人。
You know, he'd initiate conversation, we'd talk about stuff.
你知道，他会发起谈话，我们会谈论一些事情。
But he was very comfortable around us.
但他在我们身边很舒服。
He was very cool around us.
他在我们身边非常酷。
He would joke around.
他会开玩笑。
He would tell us about what he did, some of the issues that he was going through.
他会告诉我们他做了什么，以及他正在经历的一些问题。
He said he was going through some rough patches from a family perspective, going through a divorce.
他说，从家庭角度来看，他正在经历一些困难，正在经历离婚。
We tried not to speak in Arabic as much when he was around, because we didn't want to give him any feeling that he's uncomfortable, anything like that.
当他在场时，我们尽量少说阿拉伯语，因为我们不想让他有任何不舒服的感觉，诸如此类。
We talked about the gym.
我们谈论了健身房。
We went and worked out together.
我们一起去锻炼了。
You know, obviously, when you see a big bulky guy, you know what I mean, that's just, like, very cool.
你知道，显然，当你看到一个大块头的家伙时，你就知道我的意思，那就是，非常酷。
I barely can lift five pounds.
我勉强举起五磅。
We watched TV or sometimes we'd watch Arabic movies, because he'd be interested in actually seeing some of that.
我们看电视，有时我们会看阿拉伯电影，因为他有兴趣实际观看其中的一些内容。
But Craig was at work-- watching, taking notes, and recording with a hidden microphone.
但克雷格正在工作——观看、做笔记，并用隐藏的麦克风录音。
It'd be on the whole day.
会是一整天。
I would get into my car in my garage, I would turn on the device, and I would say something like, Farouk Al-Aziz, May 4, 2012, 5:45 AM, and I am hot.
我会钻进车库里的车，打开设备，然后说一些类似的话，Farouk Al-Aziz，2012 年 5 月 4 日凌晨 5:45，我很热。
Meaning, it's beginning.
意思就是，开始了。
The FBI has publicly confirmed that Craig recorded audio and video during this operation.
联邦调查局已公开证实克雷格在这次行动中录制了音频和视频。
That means, presumably, the smack the Egyptians talked during Xbox tournaments, the discussions of movies and their personal lives, the exercise tips that Craig gave them at the gym.
这大概意味着埃及人在 Xbox 锦标赛期间所说的话语、对电影和个人生活的讨论、克雷格在健身房给他们的锻炼建议。
The Egyptians would play pickup soccer on the weekends with a bunch of other Muslim guys.
埃及人会在周末和一群其他穆斯林小伙子一起踢足球。
Craig went to some of these games, but he never played.
克雷格观看了其中一些比赛，但他从未参加过比赛。
Instead, Craig says he used the opportunity to jot down license plate numbers and film the game so his handlers could see who associated with whom.
相反，克雷格说，他利用这个机会记下了车牌号码并拍摄了比赛过程，以便他的管理人员可以看到谁与谁有联系。
According to Craig, he also brought his handlers things from the Egyptians' house that might have their DNA or fingerprints.
据克雷格说，他还从埃及人的房子里给他的管理者带来了可能有他们的 DNA 或指纹的东西。
They instructed me to get, because Ayman smoked, a cigarette butt from his ash tray in his room, and certain items from his bathroom, like a toothpaste tube.
他们指示我从他房间的烟灰缸里拿一个烟头，因为艾曼抽烟，并从他的浴室里拿一些物品，比如牙膏管。
So you would sneak around their house and steal these things from their rooms?
所以你会偷偷溜进他们的房子并从他们的房间里偷走这些东西？
Yes.
是的。
Sam Black Meeting Ayman and Yassir, it was hard to imagine why the FBI was monitoring them.
萨姆·布莱克见到艾曼和亚西尔，很难想象为什么联邦调查局要监视他们。
They just seemed like normal guys.
他们看起来只是普通人。
The FBI, of course, wouldn't talk about the case.
当然，联邦调查局不会谈论此案。
And they wouldn't even talk in a general way, separate from this case, about how they choose who they're going to investigate.
除了这个案件之外，他们甚至不会以一般的方式谈论他们如何选择要调查的人。
So I called Trevor Aaronson to help me make sense of Operation Flex.
因此，我打电话给特雷弗·阿伦森 (Trevor Aaronson)，让他帮助我了解 Flex 行动。
He's an investigative journalist who's analyzed over 500 FBI terrorism convictions, looking at how informants are used to find suspects, surveil them, and build cases.
他是一名调查记者，分析了 500 多项 FBI 恐怖主义定罪，研究如何利用线人寻找嫌疑人、监视他们并立案。
I told Trevor what Craig said, that the FBI went into the Muslim community without any specific suspects.
我告诉特雷弗克雷格所说的话，联邦调查局进入穆斯林社区时没有任何具体嫌疑人。
Trevor said that's possible, but it's also possible that Craig wasn't told who the targets were.
特雷弗说这是可能的，但也有可能克雷格没有被告知目标是谁。
It's possible that the FBI had information that Craig isn't aware of.
联邦调查局可能掌握了克雷格不知道的信息。
In the cases we've looked at, it's really uncommon that the FBI would spend lots of time with someone who was so unfruitful.
在我们研究过的案例中，联邦调查局花大量时间与一个毫无成果的人在一起确实很罕见。
If they're spending months and months and all they're doing is playing soccer, the FBI will move on.
如果他们花了几个月的时间，而他们所做的一切就是踢足球，那么联邦调查局就会继续前进。
If Craig was spending that much time with them, it's worth noting that most likely they had enough for what they call a predicate, which is a reason that they were investigating them.
如果克雷格花了那么多时间和他们在一起，那么值得注意的是，他们很可能有足够的时间来进行他们所谓的谓词，这就是他们调查他们的原因。
You know, that there was a phone call that was overheard, or there was some kind of correspondence with someone overseas that the FBI is monitoring that made the FBI agents suspicious of this particular group.
你知道，有一个电话被无意听到，或者有联邦调查局正在监视的与海外某人的某种通信，这使得联邦调查局特工对这个特定的组织产生了怀疑。
In addition to Trevor, my producer and I talked to five longtime FBI agents, now retired, who all oversaw informants.
除了特雷弗之外，我和我的制片人还与五名现已退休的联邦调查局特工进行了交谈，他们都负责监督线人。
They couldn't comment on Operation Flex specifically, and none of them knew first-hand about these Egyptian guys, but they gave us similar theories.
他们无法具体评论 Flex 行动，也没有人对这些埃及人有第一手了解，但他们给了我们类似的理论。
Basically, they said if the FBI has even the smallest reason to suspect you, a reason you might not even be aware of yourself, they have to check you out.
基本上，他们说，如果联邦调查局有哪怕是最小的理由怀疑你，你甚至可能不知道自己的原因，他们就必须对你进行调查。
Maybe you happened to phone someone the FBI is monitoring.
也许您碰巧给联邦调查局正在监视的人打电话。
Maybe they got a bad tip.
也许他们得到了不好的提示。
One of the ex-FBI agents said to me, "Do innocent people get investigated?
一位前联邦调查局特工对我说：“无辜的人会受到调查吗？
Sure, every day.
当然，每天。
They can't weed them out without looking at them." Though one agent said it was possible that this was a case that just went awry, that was badly managed and didn't follow FBI protocols.
如果不看它们，他们就无法将其清除。”尽管一名特工表示，这起案件可能只是出了差错，但管理不善，而且没有遵循联邦调查局的协议。
Months passed.
几个月过去了。
People noticed that Craig was acting more devout.
人们注意到克雷格表现得更加虔诚。
He began reciting prayers aloud, dressing in traditional robes, and showing up so early for 5:00 AM prayers that he'd get there before the person who unlocked the mosque every morning.
他开始大声朗诵祈祷词，穿着传统长袍，并且很早就出现在凌晨 5:00 的祈祷中，以至于每天早上他都会比打开清真寺锁的人先到达那里。
They also noticed something else.
他们还注意到了其他事情。
Slowly and surely enough, during some times when we were having coffee, came the question of jihad.
慢慢地，当然，在我们喝咖啡的时候，圣战的问题出现了。
Yassir, one of the Egyptians, had actually been asked questions about jihad before.
亚西尔是埃及人之一，实际上以前曾被问过有关圣战的问题。
Non-Muslims bring it up with them sometimes.
非穆斯林有时也会提起这件事。
Like, he'll be on a plane and the person next to him will ask about it.
就像，他会在飞机上，旁边的人会问这件事。
So he and his friends told Craig what they always tell people-- that jihad isn't what you see on the news.
因此，他和他的朋友告诉克雷格他们总是告诉人们的事情——圣战不是你在新闻中看到的那样。
Jihad is really about each person's internal striving to be a good Muslim.
圣战实际上是每个人内心努力成为一名优秀的穆斯林。
It's not holy war.
这不是圣战。
Here's Ayman.
这是艾曼。
The reality is, if I'm new to Islam, I would be very curious about this stuff too.
现实是，如果我是伊斯兰教的新手，我也会对这些东西很好奇。
I would be very curious about this stuff.
我会对这个东西很好奇。
That's what the media talks about all the time.
这就是媒体一直在谈论的内容。
So he must be very curious, you know.
所以他一定很好奇，你知道。
I think there was a survey.
我想有一个调查。
If you mention Islam, the second thing you think about, in the American psyche, was "terrorist." So you know, for me it was somehow normal, if you look at it from a curiosity viewpoint.
如果你提到伊斯兰教，在美国人心里你想到的第二件事就是“恐怖主义”。所以你知道，对我来说，如果你从好奇的角度来看，这在某种程度上是正常的。
But it wasn't normal how obsessed he was with it, until we started being, you know, this guy is-- there is something very, very [BLEEP] up about this person.
但他对此如此着迷是不正常的，直到我们开始，你知道，这个人——这个人有一些非常非常[哔]的东西。
He just would bring these odd things in the middle of the conversation, out of nowhere.
他只是会在谈话中突然提出这些奇怪的事情。
For instance, the guys would be talking about food or sports.
例如，这些人会谈论食物或运动。
But yet, he would always bring politics into conversation.
但他总是会把政治带入谈话中。
Ah, jihad, suicide bomber.
啊，圣战，自杀式炸弹袭击者。
So what do you want-- for example.
那么你想要什么——例如。
I'm being sarcastic.
我是在讽刺。
What do you want to eat, Farouk?
法鲁克，你想吃什么？
"So what do you think about Hosni Mubarak?" You know what I mean?
“那么你对胡斯尼·穆巴拉克有何看法？”你知道我的意思？
Just out of nowhere.
就凭空出现了。
Craig talked to his Arabic teacher, Mohammad Elsisy, about his new obsession too.
克雷格也与他的阿拉伯语老师穆罕默德·埃尔西西谈论了他的新痴迷。
He invited me once to lunch, yes.
有一次他邀请我共进午餐，是的。
And he focused the topic in the lunch about jihad.
他在午餐中重点讨论了圣战的话题。
And I keep turning his attention into the essence of Islam.
我不断地将他的注意力转向伊斯兰教的本质。
And he keeps, again, bringing it back to jihad.
他再次将其带回圣战。
And he kept asking about jihad over and over and over.
他一遍又一遍地询问有关圣战的问题。
And I told him, Farouk, get over it, get over it, get over it.
我告诉他，法鲁克，克服它，克服它，克服它。
It alarmed all of them.
这让他们所有人都惊慌失措。
At one point, Yassir confronted Farouk-- that is, Craig.
有一次，亚西尔与法鲁克（即克雷格）对峙。
I even told him.
我什至告诉过他。
I'm like, Farouk, this needs to stop, because this is not the right direction.
我想，法鲁克，这需要停止，因为这不是正确的方向。
This is not what Islam's about.
这不是伊斯兰教的目的。
So if somebody's teaching you this, let me know, because we need to correct that immediately, right?
因此，如果有人教你这个，请告诉我，因为我们需要立即纠正，对吧？
And did he seem receptive?
他看起来很乐意接受吗？
Yasser AbdelRahim He did.
亚西尔·阿卜杜勒·拉希姆 他做到了。
He did.
他做到了。
And I told him, at this point, people are starting to wonder about what's going on, where you're learning this stuff from.
我告诉他，在这一点上，人们开始想知道发生了什么，你从哪里学到这些东西。
So we need to kind of understand.
所以我们需要有点理解。
And he was like, yeah, I'm not going to talk to anybody about this.
他说，是的，我不会和任何人谈论这件事。
I don't know.
我不知道。
Maybe I was reading some incorrect stuff.
也许我读了一些不正确的东西。
But Craig didn't listen.
但克雷格没有听。
He didn't stop talking about jihad.
他没有停止谈论圣战。
He says this is what the FBI wanted, because, he says, he was great at it.
他说这就是联邦调查局想要的，因为他说，他很擅长这件事。
I would have to, in a very strategic way, get their views on jihad.
我必须以一种非常战略性的方式了解他们对圣战的看法。
And I got so good at it, in their view, that they wanted to enhance it.
在他们看来，我在这方面表现得非常出色，因此他们想要加强它。
So I was to speak to, I think, 10 Muslims a day regarding jihad.
所以我想，我每天要与 10 个穆斯林谈论圣战问题。
Since the FBI isn't commenting, I ran this by Trevor Aaronson, the journalist who's examined about 500 counter-terrorism cases, to see if it was possible.
由于联邦调查局没有发表评论，我通过特雷弗·阿伦森 (Trevor Aaronson) 报道了这篇文章，他是一位审查过大约 500 个反恐案件的记者，看看这是否可能。
He said that in all of those hundreds of cases, he's never heard of a quota like this.
他说，在这数百起案件中，他从未听说过这样的配额。
The ex-FBI agents I spoke with hadn't either.
我采访过的前联邦调查局特工也没有。
Though Trevor says that once a sting operation gets going, it's common for undercover agents and informants to bait suspects by asking them about jihad.
尽管特雷弗表示，一旦诱捕行动开始，卧底特工和线人通常会通过询问嫌疑人有关圣战的情况来引诱他们。
That happens in almost every undercover sting operation.
几乎每一次卧底诱捕行动都会发生这种情况。
I can tell you that in many of the cases I've looked at, that's mentioned in the criminal affidavit in some way.
我可以告诉你，在我看过的许多案件中，刑事宣誓书中都以某种方式提到了这一点。
And I think when that's submitted at trial, that's a really damning piece of evidence for juries today.
我认为，当在审判中提交该证据时，这对今天的陪审团来说是一个非常具有说服力的证据。
Craig took this strategy and ran with it.
克雷格采取了这一策略并付诸实践。
Mohammad, the Arabic teacher, heard complaints from his friends.
阿拉伯语老师穆罕默德听到了朋友们的抱怨。
It was to the limit that one of them told me, he keeps calling him by phone and keeps saying to him, "Jihad, jihad." I was like, you know, wait a minute.
其中一位告诉我，他一直打电话给他，一直对他说：“圣战，圣战。”我当时想，你知道，等一下。
He would whisper "jihad" into the phone?
他会在电话里低声说“圣战”？
Yeah, into the phone.
是的，接电话。
Sam Black I asked Craig, did that happen?
萨姆·布莱克 我问克雷格，那件事发生了吗？
Probably.
大概。
I'm not denying it.
我并不否认。
I may have been-- we had a conversation or something, and I had done something ridiculous like that.
我可能——我们进行过一次谈话或其他什么事情，而我却做了类似那样荒谬的事情。
But I don't deny it.
但我并不否认。
I'm sure I probably did, OK?
我确信我可能做到了，好吗？
What were you trying to accomplish with that?
你想用它来实现什么目的？
Whatever individual heard that and they didn't quickly report me, they're automatically a suspect.
无论谁听到了这件事，并且没有立即举报我，他们都会自动成为嫌疑人。
Every single conversation is a conversation that the FBI or prosecutor can say, well, you heard him say this numerous times and yet you didn't do the following.
每一次对话都是联邦调查局或检察官可以说的对话，好吧，你听他说过很多次了，但你没有做以下事情。
And so that's what you were trying to do?
这就是你想要做的？
Of course.
当然。
Sam Black If you didn't think Craig could get any less subtle, here's another tactic he would try.
萨姆·布莱克（Sam Black）：如果你认为克雷格不能变得不那么狡猾，那么他会尝试另一种策略。
I'd say, let's meet tomorrow afternoon at the gym.
我想说，我们明天下午在健身房见面吧。
We'll work out together.
我们会一起锻炼。
I'll teach you some things on how to get your forearms shaped a little better, your biceps stronger or bigger.
我将教你一些如何让你的前臂形状更好一些，让你的二头肌更强健或更大。
And at these workouts, I would ask very sensitive questions regarding Islam.
在这些训练中，我会问有关伊斯兰教的非常敏感的问题。
For example--
例如——
So what do you think about Osama bin Laden?
那么您对奥萨马·本·拉登有何看法？
Ayman was working on his biceps when Craig asked him this.
当克雷格问起这个问题时，艾曼正在锻炼他的二头肌。
I'm like, dude.
我就像，伙计。
OK.
好的。
Osama bin Laden is a bad guy.
奥萨马·本·拉登是个坏人。
He's a mother-[BLEEP].
他是一位母亲——[哔]。
You know what I mean?
你知道我的意思？
All that we are suffering from right now is because of Osama bin Laden.
我们现在所遭受的一切都是因为奥萨马·本·拉登。
And your question right now is because of Osama bin Laden.
你现在的问题是因为奥萨马·本·拉登。
You know what I mean?
你知道我的意思？
All of these new laws that they start acting about, just searching and sticking their finger in your butt, is because of Osama bin Laden.
他们开始采取行动的所有这些新法律，只是搜索并把手指放在你的屁股上，都是因为奥萨马·本·拉登。
So you tell him, yeah, Osama bin Laden is the bad guy.
所以你告诉他，是的，奥萨马·本·拉登是坏人。
One day, a guy named Riaz Surti showed up at the gym with a friend.
有一天，一个名叫里亚兹·苏尔蒂 (Riaz Surti) 的人和一位朋友一起出现在健身房。
Riaz had owned a halal KFC/Taco Bell nearby.
里亚兹在附近拥有一家清真肯德基/塔可钟餐厅。
Craig hopped off a stationary bike and introduced himself to Riaz as a fellow Muslim.
克雷格跳下一辆固定自行车，向里亚兹介绍自己是一名穆斯林同胞。
Here's Riaz.
这是里亚兹。
Then I left to go stretch out, and then I came back.
然后我就出去舒展筋骨，然后又回来了。
And then he leans to us, and then he says, I met the sheikh in Afghanistan.
然后他向我们倾斜，然后他说，我在阿富汗遇到了酋长。
The sheikh?
酋长？
Riaz Surti The sheikh, yeah.
Riaz Surti 酋长，是的。
I met the big guy or the sheikh in Afghanistan.
我在阿富汗遇到了大人物或酋长。
Oh, we knew that he was referring to Osama bin Laden.
哦，我们知道他指的是奥萨马·本·拉登。
He was bragging.
他在吹牛。
He was smiling that he met the sheikh.
他微笑着说他见到了酋长。
It just became very clear to us.
我们对此变得非常清楚。
Craig told us he has never been to Afghanistan.
克雷格告诉我们他从未去过阿富汗。
But he was trying to see if these guys at the gym, who he'd never met, thought it would be cool to hang out with Osama bin Laden.
但他想看看健身房里的这些他从未见过的人是否认为和奥萨马·本·拉登一起出去玩很酷。
They didn't think that would be cool.
他们认为这并不酷。
So instead, Riaz says, he wanted to get Craig to leave him alone.
因此，里亚兹说，他想让克雷格别打扰他。
So every time he saw him, he would tell him the dirtiest jokes he could come up with.
所以每次见到他，他都会给他讲他能想到的最下流的笑话。
I didn't want him to think I was a good Muslim.
我不想让他认为我是一个好穆斯林。
I just felt like his goal was to get us involved in something that we weren't involved with.
我只是觉得他的目标是让我们参与一些我们没有参与的事情。
What did you tell him?
你告诉他什么了？
Riaz Surti Like, did you hear about the doctor who was having sex with his patients?
Riaz Surti 就像，你听说过那位与病人发生性关系的医生吗？
And he said no. And I said, he's a very interesting doctor.
他说不。我说，他是一位非常有趣的医生。
And then he looked at me.
然后他看着我。
It was a veterinarian.
那是一位兽医。
It worked.
它起作用了。
Craig left him alone after that.
之后克雷格就离开了他。
About eight months into Operation Flex, Craig says his handlers told him to start talking to people about an actual terrorist plot, a plan to blow up buildings in Southern California.
克雷格说，“灵活行动”进行了大约八个月后，他的上司告诉他开始与人们谈论一个真正的恐怖分子阴谋，即炸毁南加州建筑物的计划。
That happens in lots of FBI stings.
这种情况在联邦调查局的很多刺杀行动中都会发生。
The informant suggests the plot to the suspect, not the other way around, according to Trevor Aaronson again, who studied hundreds of terrorism convictions.
研究了数百起恐怖主义定罪的特雷弗·阿伦森再次表示，线人向嫌疑人暗示了这一阴谋，而不是相反。
Of about 500 terrorism cases since 9/11, about 50 defendants have been involved in cases where the informant came up with the idea and provided all of the means.
自9/11以来的约500起恐怖主义案件中，约50名被告涉及线人提出想法并提供所有手段的案件。
But ex-FBI agents I talked to said that in a well-run operation, the informant is not supposed to suggest the plot out of the blue.
但我采访过的前联邦调查局特工表示，在一次运作良好的行动中，线人不应该突然提出阴谋。
First, the suspect would have to declare his intention to commit an act of violence.
首先，嫌疑人必须声明其实施暴力行为的意图。
Without that, the whole case could get thrown out of court as entrapment.
如果没有这一点，整个案件可能会被当作陷阱而被扔出法庭。
The person Craig suggested his plot to was a guy named Ahmad Niazi Niazi is the only person we know of that Craig helped catch, the only person the FBI arrested as a result of Operation Flex.
克雷格向一个名叫艾哈迈德·尼亚齐 (Ahmad Niazi Niazi) 的人提出了他的阴谋，尼亚齐是我们所知道的克雷格帮助抓获的唯一一个人，也是联邦调查局因 Flex 行动而逮捕的唯一一个人。
Craig had met Niazi one night at the Irvine mosque.
一天晚上，克雷格在欧文清真寺遇见了尼亚齐。
Mohammad, Craig's Arabic teacher, introduced them.
克雷格的阿拉伯语老师穆罕默德介绍了他们。
Niazi was a family man, very different from the Egyptian Xbox players.
尼亚齐是一个顾家的男人，这与埃及的 Xbox 玩家截然不同。
He had a wife and two young kids and taught at a nearby language school.
他有妻子和两个年幼的孩子，并在附近的一所语言学校任教。
Niazi grew up in Afghanistan, but he'd lived in California for eight years.
尼亚齐在阿富汗长大，但他在加利福尼亚州生活了八年。
He and Craig went out for coffee, and they hit it off.
他和克雷格出去喝咖啡，一拍即合。
They started hanging out a lot, sometimes with Mohammad.
他们开始经常出去玩，有时和穆罕默德一起。
One Friday, the three of them were driving to a mosque where Mohammad was scheduled to give a sermon.
一个星期五，他们三人开车前往一座清真寺，穆罕默德计划在那里布道。
Niazi didn't want to do an interview for our story, but here's Mohammad.
尼亚齐不想接受我们的故事采访，但这是穆罕默德。
Niazi was sitting in the backseat and Farouk was sitting in the passenger, and I was driving.
尼亚齐坐在后座，法鲁克坐在副驾驶座，我开车。
And here's Craig, AKA Farouk.
这是克雷格，又名法鲁克。
Craig Montielh And I started to bring up, what should we really do as Muslims now that our brothers and sisters are being blown up in Afghanistan and Iraq?
Craig Montielh 我开始提出，既然我们的兄弟姐妹在阿富汗和伊拉克被炸毁，作为穆斯林我们应该做什么？
And I told him, Farouk, we are living in Irvine, the most peaceful city in all America.
我告诉他，法鲁克，我们住在尔湾，美国最和平的城市。
[LAUGHS] He was like, I just don't like the way that American government is handing situations outside and stuff.
[笑]他说，我只是不喜欢美国政府处理外界情况的方式。
And I was like, OK, and what?
我当时想，好吧，然后呢？
Are we supposed to just stay here, watch our national championship games, play Xbox, and everything else, while our brothers are being killed?
当我们的兄弟被杀时，我们是否应该呆在这里，观看我们的全国冠军赛，玩 Xbox 以及其他一切？
And he started talking about some jihad.
他开始谈论一些圣战。
And I told him, Farouk, what are you trying to get into, exactly?
我告诉他，法鲁克，你到底想进入什么领域？
I said, we should carry out a terrorist attack in this country, because I'm tired of just staying around doing nothing.
我说，我们应该在这个国家发动恐怖袭击，因为我厌倦了无所事事。
I've got access to weapons.
我可以获得武器。
I know how to do things.
我知道如何做事。
We should bomb something.
我们应该轰炸一些东西。
Silence was out there in the car.
车里一片寂静。
I didn't say a word until we arrived to the mosque.
直到我们到达清真寺我才说一句话。
I refused to talk at all.
我根本拒绝说话。
The first thing that came into my mind, I thought that he's a straight-shot terrorist.
我第一个想到的就是他是一个正直的恐怖分子。
And at that point, I felt kind of scared from him.
在那一刻，我对他感到有点害怕。
He scared me.
他吓到我了。
Mohammad glanced into the rearview mirror and saw Niazi staring back at him.
穆罕默德朝后视镜看了一眼，发现尼亚齐正盯着他。
He looked shocked.
他看起来很震惊。
Craig's head was down.
克雷格低着头。
He was now playing with his phone.
他现在正在玩手机。
No one said anything for the remaining 20 minutes of the ride to the mosque.
在前往清真寺的剩余 20 分钟车程中，没有人再说任何话。
The drive back home was the same.
回家的路也是一样。
After they parted ways with Craig, Mohammad and Niazi talked about what had just happened.
与克雷格分手后，穆罕默德和尼亚齐谈论了刚刚发生的事情。
They decided they had to do something, so they did what all Americans are supposed to do in this situation, what law enforcement officials tell us we should do when someone says he has access to weapons and wants to use them.
他们决定必须做点什么，所以他们做了所有美国人在这种情况下应该做的事情，执法官员告诉我们当有人说他可以获得武器并想要使用它们时我们应该做的事情。
They reported Craig to the FBI as a potential terrorist.
他们向联邦调查局报告克雷格为潜在的恐怖分子。
Coming up, what happens, exactly, when you turn in someone to the FBI who is working for the FBI?
接下来，当你向联邦调查局举报为联邦调查局工作的人时，到底会发生什么？
Sam Black's story continues in a minute from Chicago Public Radio and Public Radio International when our program continues.
当我们的节目继续时，芝加哥公共广播电台和国际公共广播电台将继续讲述萨姆·布莱克的故事。
It's This American Life.
这就是美国生活。
I'm Ira Glass.
我是艾拉·格拉斯。
Today's program-- "The Convert," the story of an FBI undercover operation from 2006 that went very badly, is, I think, a fair way to say it, and the uneasy relationship between some Muslims and the FBI, and why that might be.
今天的节目——“皈依者”，讲述了 2006 年联邦调查局卧底行动进展非常糟糕的故事，我认为，这是一个公平的说法，以及一些穆斯林和联邦调查局之间不稳定的关系，以及为什么会出现这种情况。
And as I said at the top of the show, this is not a typical FBI investigation, the story we're telling today.
正如我在节目开头所说，我们今天讲述的故事不是典型的联邦调查局调查。
It's hard to say exactly what constitutes failure if you're a government informant, but I think that being turned over to authorities as a possible terrorist yourself by the people you suspect are terrorists-- that's got to be on the list, right?
如果你是一名政府线人，很难确切地说什么构成失败，但我认为，你自己被你怀疑是恐怖分子的人作为可能的恐怖分子移交给当局——这一定会出现在名单上，对吗？
That's not good.
那不好。
Sam Black picks up our story where we left off.
萨姆·布莱克从我们上次停下的地方继续讲故事。
So Mohammad and Niazi wanted to report Craig to the FBI, but they weren't sure who to call or how to do it.
因此穆罕默德和尼亚齐想向联邦调查局举报克雷格，但他们不确定该给谁打电话或如何举报。
They reached out to Hussam Ayloush.
他们联系了胡萨姆·艾卢什。
Hussam is director of the Council on American Islamic Relations in Southern California, known as CAIR, along with the ACLU, and a well-known member of the Muslim community there.
胡萨姆是南加州美国伊斯兰关系委员会（CAIR）和美国公民自由联盟（ACLU）的主任，也是当地穆斯林社区的知名成员。
Just hours after the car ride, he got a phone call from Mohammad.
开车几小时后，他接到穆罕默德的电话。
Here's Hussam.
这是胡萨姆。
He was terrified.
他很害怕。
The guy didn't know what to do.
那家伙不知道该怎么办。
He was so nervous.
他很紧张。
He told me, I know you deal with the FBI and I know you work with police.
他告诉我，我知道你与联邦调查局打交道，我也知道你与警察合作。
What do I do now?
我现在该怎么办？
Mohammad was with Niazi.
穆罕默德和尼亚齐在一起。
They were both afraid that if Craig went ahead with his plot, they would somehow be responsible.
他们都担心，如果克雷格继续他的阴谋，他们就要负上某种责任。
He passed the phone to Niazi, and he was also panicking like crazy.
他把电话递给妮子，他也惊慌失措。
I mean, both of them, they didn't know what to do.
我的意思是，他们两个都不知道该怎么办。
I told them, don't worry about it.
我告诉他们，别担心。
Calm down.
冷静下来。
You're not responsible for anything.
你不需要对任何事情负责。
You're doing the right thing.
你正在做正确的事。
You're calling the authorities.
你正在给当局打电话。
So even if the guy is planning on anything, you have nothing to worry about.
因此，即使这个人正在计划任何事情，你也无需担心。
You're not accomplices.
你们不是共犯。
So what did you think was going on when you got this call?
那么，当您接到这个电话时，您认为发生了什么？
There were three possibilities.
有三种可能性。
Either he is recruited by al-Qaeda, or he's a lone wolf doing things on his own, or he's doing this for somebody else as an entrapment.
他要么是被基地组织招募的，要么是一头独自做事的独狼，要么是为了圈套别人而做这件事。
Either way, it's bad news.
不管怎样，这都是坏消息。
Hussam told Muhammad and Niazi that he would call the FBI.
胡萨姆告诉穆罕默德和尼亚齐，他会打电话给联邦调查局。
For years, he'd been attending monthly meetings with agents who hoped to build a good relationship with the Muslim community.
多年来，他每月都会参加与希望与穆斯林社区建立良好关系的特工的会议。
And he was friends with Steve Tidwell, the head of the FBI's LA office.
他是联邦调查局洛杉矶办事处主任史蒂夫·蒂德韦尔的朋友。
Hussam had actually organized the outreach meeting you heard about earlier, the one where Tidwell promised that the FBI wouldn't send people into mosques unannounced.
胡萨姆实际上组织了您之前听说过的外展会议，蒂德韦尔在会上承诺联邦调查局不会在未经通知的情况下派人进入清真寺。
So Hussam called Tidwell on his cell phone and told him what had happened to Mohammad and Niazi.
于是胡萨姆用手机给蒂德韦尔打电话，告诉他穆罕默德和尼亚齐发生了什么事。
They thought this guy in the car might be serious.
他们认为车里的这个人可能是认真的。
Again, here's Hussam.
胡萨姆又来了。
He said, well, you know, thanks, Hussam.
他说，嗯，你知道，谢谢，胡萨姆。
You're doing the right thing.
你正在做正确的事。
Thank these gentleman.
感谢这些先生。
This is exactly why we're so proud of working with the Muslim community.
这正是我们为与穆斯林社区合作而感到自豪的原因。
And I did mention it.
我确实提到过。
I said, he's a white guy, a white convert in Irvine.
我说，他是一个白人，是尔湾的一名白人皈依者。
He said, oh.
他说，哦。
That's what he said.
他就是这么说的。
Oh, OK.
哦，好吧。
Thank you, Hussam.
谢谢你，胡萨姆。
That-- that's great information.
这是很好的信息。
And we'll-- we'll let you know what happens.
我们会让你知道发生了什么。
I said, wait, wait.
我说，等等，等等。
Don't you need his name?
你不需要他的名字吗？
Because I had his name and I had his address, because they knew where he lived.
因为我有他的名字，有他的地址，因为他们知道他住在哪里。
He said, well, you know, don't worry about it.
他说，好吧，你知道的，别担心。
We work closely with Irvine PD, and we'll take care of it from here.
我们与尔湾市警察局密切合作，我们将从这里处理此事。
Don't worry about it.
别担心。
That's when my doubts started playing in my head.
就在那时，我的疑虑开始在我的脑海中盘旋。
I felt there was something strange.
我感觉有什么奇怪的地方。
Tidwell wouldn't speak to me for this story, so I don't know what he thought when his own informant was reported to him as a terrorist.
蒂德韦尔不会就这个故事与我交谈，所以我不知道当他自己的线人被报告为恐怖分子时他有什么想法。
But not long after this phone call, the FBI launched an investigation into Craig, which no matter how you look at it was a very strange undertaking.
但在这个电话之后不久，联邦调查局对克雷格展开了调查，无论你怎么看，这都是一件非常奇怪的事情。
FBI agents were going around asking questions about an FBI informant, treating him as an actual suspect they were investigating.
联邦调查局特工四处询问有关联邦调查局线人的问题，将他视为他们正在调查的真正嫌疑人。
FBI special agents not only interviewed Mohammad and Niazi, they also questioned other people who'd been hanging out with Craig.
联邦调查局特工不仅采访了穆罕默德和尼亚齐，还询问了与克雷格交往的其他人。
I talked to five people who willingly took part in these interviews.
我与五个愿意参加这些采访的人进行了交谈。
At the time, they thought they were helping catch a dangerous person.
当时，他们以为自己是在帮忙抓捕一个危险人物。
Mohammad and Niazi even went in front of a judge in Orange County Superior Court and got a restraining order against Craig so that he couldn't come within 200 yards of the mosque.
穆罕默德和尼亚齐甚至在奥兰治县高等法院的法官面前获得了针对克雷格的限制令，禁止他进入清真寺 200 码范围内。
But looking back, the people the FBI interviewed told me there was something weird about the way the agents were acting through this whole ordeal.
但回想起来，联邦调查局采访的人告诉我，特工们在整个磨难中的表现有些奇怪。
They just didn't seem that concerned.
他们只是看起来并不那么关心。
Yassir, one of the Egyptians, said it wasn't what he imagined would happen when you call in the feds on a possible terrorist.
埃及人之一亚西尔说，当你向联邦调查局通报可能的恐怖分子时，这并不是他想象的那样。
My picture in my head is, if you go and bring that up, it's on.
我脑海中的画面是，如果你提出这个问题，它就开始了。
Let's go.
我们走吧。
Let's find this person.
我们来找到这个人吧。
Let's make sure we're stopping him.
让我们确保我们能阻止他。
They would be at his door immediately.
他们会立即到他家门口。
30 cars, movie-style, kind of like, break in, let's get this guy.
30辆车，电影风格，有点像，闯入，让我们抓住这个家伙。
That wasn't the reaction.
那不是反应。
That wasn't the reaction we were getting.
这不是我们得到的反应。
The agents did ask questions about Craig.
特工确实询问了有关克雷格的问题。
How often did he come to the mosque?
他多久来一次清真寺？
Who else did he hang out with?
他还和谁一起出去玩？
What kinds of things did he say?
他说了些什么？
But with Yassir and others, they gradually began to ask more personal questions.
但对于亚西尔和其他人来说，他们逐渐开始提出更多个人问题。
How many times did you talk with Farouk about jihad?
你和法鲁克多少次谈论过圣战？
What do you think jihad means?
你认为圣战意味着什么？
When did you come to the United States?
你什么时候来美国的？
Again, Yassir.
再说一遍，亚西尔。
These guys knew exactly what was going on.
这些家伙清楚地知道发生了什么事。
They knew he was their informant.
他们知道他是他们的线人。
I think it was just another way for them to kind of get us in and talk to them.
我认为这只是他们让我们参与并与他们交谈的另一种方式。
Some people were visited by the FBI more than once, like Mohammad.
有些人不止一次被联邦调查局探访过，比如穆罕默德。
One day, FBI agents surprised him at his house.
有一天，联邦调查局特工来到他家，让他大吃一惊。
He asked them how the investigation into Farouk was going.
他询问他们对法鲁克的调查进展如何。
They told him Farouk was a dangerous guy and he would be in trouble soon.
他们告诉他法鲁克是一个危险的家伙，他很快就会遇到麻烦。
But Mohammad says the agents were there to talk about someone else.
但穆罕默德表示，特工们在那里谈论的是其他人。
They asked me a couple of questions about Ahmad Niazi, how much information I know about him.
他们问了我几个关于艾哈迈德·尼亚齐的问题，以及我对他了解多少。
And I told them, I don't know anything about Ahmad Niazi, except that he is a person that comes and prays in the mosque, and I know him through the community.
我告诉他们，我对艾哈迈德·尼亚齐一无所知，只知道他是一个来清真寺祈祷的人，我是通过社区认识他的。
I didn't know him before that, and I don't know very much information about him.
在此之前我并不认识他，也不太了解他的信息。
They said, you know, we just wanted to collect more information about that person.
他们说，你知道，我们只是想收集有关该人的更多信息。
I told them, I told you what I know about him.
我告诉他们，我告诉你们我对他的了解。
That's all.
就这样。
This was strange for Mohammad.
这对穆罕默德来说很奇怪。
Niazi was the one who'd help him report Craig.
尼亚齐是帮助他举报克雷格的人。
Why were the FBI agents asking about him?
为什么联邦调查局探员要询问他的情况？
By the spring of 2007, the FBI had honed in on Niazi.
到 2007 年春天，联邦调查局 (FBI) 已经盯上了尼亚齐。
It's unclear exactly why, but court records reveal one thing that got their attention.
目前还不清楚具体原因，但法庭记录揭示了一件引起他们注意的事情。
One of Niazi's sisters was married to a man named Amin al-Haq.
尼亚齐的一个姐妹嫁给了一个名叫阿明·哈克的男人。
Al-Haq was designated as a terrorist by the US government.
哈克被美国政府认定为恐怖分子。
He'd allegedly served as a security coordinator for Osama bin Laden.
据称他曾担任奥萨马·本·拉登的安全协调员。
And Niazi also said things to Craig that concerned the FBI.
尼亚齐还向克雷格说了一些与联邦调查局有关的事情。
None of Craig's recordings have been released, so we don't know what exactly they talked about.
克雷格的录音尚未发布，因此我们不知道他们到底谈论了什么。
But Craig gave us dozens of emails Niazi sent him.
但克雷格给了我们几十封尼亚齐发给他的电子邮件。
They're mostly articles and links to videos.
它们主要是文章和视频链接。
Some of these are conspiracy theories, like how 9/11 was an inside job.
其中一些是阴谋论，比如 9/11 是内部人员所为。
Others criticized the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, sometimes calling for Muslims to rise up against their enemies.
其他人批评阿富汗和伊拉克战争，有时呼吁穆斯林奋起反抗敌人。
This YouTube video is the most extreme thing my producer and I found in the emails.
这段 YouTube 视频是我和制作人在电子邮件中发现的最极端的内容。
It's an imam talking about how he supports Osama bin Laden.
一位伊玛目正在谈论他如何支持奥萨马·本·拉登。
If he's terrorizing the terrorists, if he's terrorizing America the terrorist, biggest terrorist, I am with him.
如果他在恐吓恐怖分子，如果他在恐吓美国这个恐怖分子、最大的恐怖分子，我就支持他。
Every Muslim should be a terrorist.
每个穆斯林都应该是恐怖分子。
The thing is that, if he's terrorizing a terrorist, he's for Islam.
问题是，如果他在恐吓恐怖分子，那么他就是支持伊斯兰教的。
In case you didn't get that, he said, "Every Muslim should be a terrorist." Niazi sent this video to an undercover FBI informant-- Craig.
如果你不明白这一点，他说，“每个穆斯林都应该是恐怖分子。”尼亚齐将这段视频发送给联邦调查局卧底线人克雷格。
They said that I hit a jackpot with Niazi.
他们说我和尼亚齐中了大奖。
They called it a jackpot.
他们称之为大奖。
Even after Niazi turned Craig in, for nearly a year, the FBI continued to surveil Niazi.
即使在尼亚齐告发克雷格之后，联邦调查局仍继续监视尼亚齐近一年。
Finally, two agents came to talk to him.
最后，两名特工前来与他交谈。
After they left, Niazi immediately called Hussam Ayloush at CAIR.
他们离开后，尼亚齐立即给 CAIR 的胡萨姆·艾卢什 (Hussam Ayloush) 打电话。
He actually was crying.
他其实是在哭。
I mean, he was crying like a little kid, very fearful, and he kept repeating, I'm the one who called the FBI.
我的意思是，他哭得像个小孩子，非常害怕，他不断重复，我是给联邦调查局打电话的人。
I'm the one, and now they're turning on me?
我就是那个人，现在他们却针对我？
The lead agent who met with Niazi was Thomas Ropel, who handled his case inside the FBI.
与尼亚齐会面的首席特工是托马斯·罗佩尔（Thomas Ropel），他在联邦调查局内部处理了他的案件。
Niazi said Ropel threatened him, told him that the FBI had something on him, told Niazi that he'd lied to them-- which is a federal crime-- at an earlier meeting with FBI agents, one of the meetings where Niazi thought he was there to help the FBI catch Craig.
尼亚齐说，罗佩尔威胁他，告诉他联邦调查局掌握了他的情报，并告诉尼亚齐他在早些时候与联邦调查局特工的一次会面中对他们撒了谎，这是联邦犯罪，尼亚齐认为他在那里是为了帮助联邦调查局抓捕克雷格。
Here's Hussam.
这是胡萨姆。
Some
一些
And the agent actually told him, based on our interviews with you, you have made comments that are not accurate, and this would be perjury.
代理人实际上告诉他，根据我们对你的采访，你的评论是不准确的，这将是伪证。
And I feel bad for you, but you know, it's in your hand.
我为你感到难过，但你知道，它掌握在你的手中。
You can change all that if you cooperate with us.
如果您与我们合作，您可以改变这一切。
They said, you speak Arabic, Pashto, and Dari, and you could be a great asset in helping us protect the country.
他们说，你会说阿拉伯语、普什图语和达里语，你可以成为帮助我们保护国家的宝贵财富。
He said, well, that's what I did.
他说，好吧，我就是这么做的。
I don't need to work for you.
我不需要为你工作。
When I saw something bad, I'm the one who picked up the phone and reported it.
当我看到不好的事情时，我就是第一个拿起电话举报的人。
Well, we need you here and we need you in Afghanistan.
好吧，我们这里需要你，阿富汗也需要你。
They offered him to be in Afghanistan.
他们邀请他去阿富汗。
And they offered him money.
他们给了他钱。
He said, I'm not going to go and spy on my people.
他说，我不会去监视我的人民。
I told you.
我告诉你了。
If I see something bad, I'll report it.
如果我看到不好的事情，我会报告。
And then the guy told him, I hope you think about it, because if you don't, we can make your life a living hell.
然后那家伙告诉他，我希望你考虑一下，因为如果你不考虑，我们会让你的生活变成人间地狱。
That's what they said to him?
他们就是这么对他说的？
Hussam Ayloush That's exactly the quote he gave me, because I wrote it down as he was talking to me.
Hussam Ayloush 这正是他给我的引言，因为我在他跟我说话时把它写了下来。
Thomas Ropel confirmed in court that this meeting happened, though he did not say that he pressured Niazi to work for the FBI.
托马斯·罗佩尔在法庭上证实了这次会面的发生，尽管他没有说他向尼亚齐施压，要求他为联邦调查局工作。
But ex-FBI agents my producer and I talked to said it's common to leverage people like this.
但我和我的制片人交谈过的前联邦调查局特工表示，利用这样的人是很常见的。
Again, they weren't commenting on Niazi's case, but one retired agent who had more than 20 years experience in the Bureau said there are people all over the country being approached by the FBI and pressured with things they said on tapes.
同样，他们没有对尼亚齐的案件发表评论，但一位在联邦调查局工作了 20 多年的退休特工表示，全国各地都有人受到 FBI 的接触，并用他们在录音带上所说的话施加压力。
He laughed when we asked him about it.
当我们问他这件事时，他笑了。
It was like asking a plumber if he used a wrench.
这就像问水管工是否使用扳手一样。
He says it happens at every level of law enforcement.
他说这种情况发生在各级执法部门。
He told us, quote, "it sounds like a terrible thing, guys, but it's the way business is done.
他告诉我们，“伙计们，这听起来像是一件可怕的事情，但这就是做生意的方式。
It's the way the American people get protected.
这是美国人民受到保护的方式。
You've got to find people who can lead you to the bad guys."
你必须找到能带你去找坏人的人。”
Thomas Ropel returned with a group of agents and a search warrant.
托马斯·罗佩尔带着一群特工和搜查令回来了。
They raided Niazi's house, taking computers and financial documents.
他们突袭了尼亚齐的家，拿走了电脑和财务文件。
Months later, Ropel returned again and arrested Niazi.
几个月后，罗佩尔再次返回并逮捕了尼亚齐。
For the second time, federal authorities move in on this Tustin home.
联邦当局第二次搬入塔斯廷的这座住宅。
Their target?
他们的目标？
The 34-year-old owner.
店主今年34岁。
Tonight this local home looks empty, but today it was the scene of an FBI raid.
今晚这个当地的住宅看起来空无一人，但今天却是联邦调查局突袭的现场。
The suspect?
嫌疑人？
A man with alleged ties to terrorists.
一名据称与恐怖分子有联系的男子。
The government charged Niazi with immigration fraud and making false statements.
政府指控尼亚齐犯有移民欺诈和虚假陈述罪。
They said that when Niazi applied for US citizenship, he didn't mention that his sister was married to Amin al-Haq, even though you're required to disclose if you have any ties to a designated terrorist.
他们说，当尼亚齐申请美国公民身份时，他没有提到他的妹妹嫁给了阿明·哈克，尽管你需要披露你是否与指定的恐怖分子有任何联系。
They also charged him for using inconsistent versions of his full name on official forms and for not disclosing two trips he'd made to Pakistan years earlier.
他们还指控他在官方表格上使用了不一致的全名，并且没有透露他几年前两次前往巴基斯坦的情况。
But what's interesting about Niazi's arrest is what he wasn't charged with.
但尼亚齐被捕的有趣之处在于他没有受到指控。
He wasn't charged with associating with terrorists himself.
他本人并未被指控与恐怖分子有联系。
He wasn't charged with plotting an attack.
他没有被指控策划袭击。
And he wasn't charged for anything he'd ever said to Craig over the course of months of recorded conversations.
在几个月的录音谈话中，他没有因与克雷格所说的任何话而受到指控。
Still, at Niazi's bail hearing, the prosecutor argued that he was a danger to the community.
尽管如此，在尼亚齐的保释听证会上，检察官辩称他对社区构成危险。
To prove that, she called Agent Thomas Ropel to the stand.
为了证明这一点，她叫特工托马斯·罗佩尔出庭作证。
Will you please state your full name for the record?
请注明您的全名以供记录吗？
How do you spell your last name, please?
请问你的姓氏怎么拼写？
Ropel testified that a confidential informant had recorded Niazi talking about jihad between 15 and 20 times.
罗佩尔作证说，一名机密线人记录了尼亚齐谈论圣战的次数 15 到 20 次。
In addition, he said--
此外，他还说——
There were some recordings that I had personally listened to regarding Mr. Niazi discussing gaining access to weapons and discussing blowing up buildings.
我亲自听过一些关于尼亚齐先生讨论获得武器和炸毁建筑物的录音。
And--
还有——
As Ropel went on, the judge asked him to clarify who had brought up these conversations-- Niazi or the informant?
随着罗佩尔的继续，法官要求他澄清是谁提出了这些谈话——尼亚齐还是线人？
Mr. Niazi has instigated these conversations with that individual.
尼亚齐先生发起了与该人的这些对话。
Mr. Niazi did, yes.
尼亚齐先生做到了，是的。
Correct.
正确的。
Sam Black Of course, the individual he supposedly instigated conversations with was Craig Monteilh.
萨姆·布莱克（Sam Black） 当然，据说与他进行对话的人是克雷格·蒙泰尔（Craig Monteilh）。
I asked Craig about it.
我向克雷格询问了此事。
Did Niazi ever instigate this kind of conversation with you?
尼亚齐有没有挑起过你这样的谈话吗？
No. No, I did.
不，不，我做到了。
Every time.
每次。
Sam Black Craig has changed his story on this.
萨姆·布莱克·克雷格改变了他的说法。
When Niazi was arrested in 2009, he basically said the complete opposite.
2009 年尼亚齐被捕时，他基本上说了完全相反的内容。
He said Niazi recruited him for a terrorist operation.
他说尼亚齐招募他参与恐怖行动。
But Craig says now he's telling the truth.
但克雷格说现在他说的是实话。
He says what really happened is that he went after Niazi more aggressively than anyone.
他说，真正发生的事情是，他比任何人都更积极地追捕尼亚齐。
Niazi wanted a friend, and he tolerated Craig's jihad talk more than most.
尼亚齐想要一个朋友，而且他比大多数人更能容忍克雷格的圣战言论。
The thing about Niazi was he'd try to impress me.
尼亚齐的特点是他会努力给我留下深刻的印象。
He's, like, 5'5" or so, and I was somewhat intimidating to him.
他大概身高 5 英尺 5 英寸左右，我对他来说有点吓人。
So he kind of just went along with what I said.
所以他就同意了我的话。
He didn't say he wanted to be a part of this.
他并没有说他想参与其中。
But he didn't say to me, no, I don't.
但他没有对我说，不，我不。
That's a very bad thing to do when you're being recorded.
当你被录音时，这是一件非常糟糕的事情。
Did you feel like, I've got this guy who's ideologically leaning towards jihad?
你是否觉得，我遇到了一个在意识形态上倾向于圣战的人？
What I thought was, I can bring him there.
我的想法是，我可以把他带到那里。
He was afraid.
他很害怕。
He looked like he was scared, which is where I wanted him to be.
他看上去很害怕，这正是我希望他出现的样子。
And my handlers told me to reel him in more.
我的训练员告诉我要更多地卷起他。
And he was just kind of mesmerized by me.
他只是被我迷住了。
I talked to people who know Niazi, and they backed this up.
我和认识尼亚齐的人交谈过，他们也支持这一点。
Niazi mentored Craig, but at the same time he was enthralled by him, at least until the moment when he and Mohammad decided to turn Craig in to the FBI.
尼亚齐指导克雷格，但同时他也被克雷格迷住了，至少直到他和穆罕默德决定将克雷格交给联邦调查局的那一刻为止。
The government kept Niazi under house arrest for more than a year, with a curfew and an ankle bracelet.
政府将尼亚齐软禁了一年多，并实行宵禁和脚镯。
When I reached out to Niazi for this story, he sent me a statement.
当我联系尼亚齐了解这个故事时，他给我发了一份声明。
It says in part, "When the FBI agent threatened to make my life a living hell unless I became an informant, which I refused, the FBI made true its promise and really did make my life a living hell.
其中部分内容是，“当联邦调查局特工威胁要让我的生活变成人间地狱，除非我成为线人，但我拒绝了，联邦调查局兑现了它的承诺，确实让我的生活变成了人间地狱。
In the past few years, my family and I have been struggling very hard to piece back together our lives."

It filed a motion to dismiss all of the charges.

Operation Flex ended without a single known conviction.

One person did go to jail, though-- Craig Monteilh.
不过，确实有一个人入狱了——克雷格·蒙泰尔。
Six months after Craig was reported as a potential terrorist, the Irvine police arrested him for a bizarre unrelated crime.
克雷格被报道为潜在恐怖分子六个月后，尔湾警方因一项奇怪的无关犯罪逮捕了他。
It turned out that during Operation Flex, he'd been running a side hustle, conning two women out of more than $150,000 in a scheme to traffic human growth hormone.
原来，在 Flex 行动期间，他一直在从事副业，通过贩运人类生长激素的计划骗取了两名妇女超过 15 万美元。
He met the women at the same gyms where he was monitoring Muslims.
他在监视穆斯林的同一家健身房里遇见了这些女性。
He went to prison for eight months.
他入狱八个月。
Craig sued the FBI over this, claiming the whole thing was part of an FBI drug sting and that his handlers conspired to have him arrested after he became useless in Operation Flex.
克雷格就此起诉联邦调查局，声称整件事是联邦调查局毒品刺杀的一部分，他的上司在他在“Flex行动”中变得毫无用处后密谋逮捕他。
A judge recently threw the case out.
一名法官最近驳回了此案。
You can probably imagine what Operation Flex and its aftermath did to relations between the FBI and the Muslim community in Orange County.
您可能可以想象“弹性行动”及其后果对联邦调查局与奥兰治县穆斯林社区之间的关系造成了怎样的影响。
Hussam Ayloush, the head of CAIR in Southern California, remembers the moment at Niazi's bail hearing when the FBI revealed that Craig was an undercover informant.
南加州 CAIR 负责人胡萨姆·艾卢什 (Hussam Ayloush) 还记得尼亚齐保释听证会上联邦调查局 (FBI) 透露克雷格是卧底线人的那一刻。

It's almost like a dagger in my back.

I felt betrayed.
我感觉自己被背叛了。
The whole community, not just me.

They have a hard time believing people are who they say they are.
他们很难相信人们就是他们所说的那样。
Here's Ayman, the Egyptian guy who first befriended Craig.
这是艾曼，第一个与克雷格成为朋友的埃及人。
Really, what they did is they made everybody in the mosque not trust everybody.
确实，他们所做的是让清真寺里的每个人都不信任每个人。
Nobody would talk about it, but nobody-- you would see some weird looks, you know what I mean?
没有人会谈论它，但是没有人——你会看到一些奇怪的表情，你知道我的意思吗？
People are looking at each other weird.
人们互相看着对方，眼神很奇怪。
I don't know.
我不知道。
Maybe I was sensitive, but I can tell that the way they looked at me was just different.
也许是我比较敏感，但我看得出来，他们看我的眼神不一样了。
In one of the most awkward developments of this story, the Muslim community is now teaming up with Craig Monteilh.
在这个故事中最尴尬的发展之一是，穆斯林社区现在正在与克雷格·蒙泰尔合作。
The Council on American Islamic Relations, CAIR, is suing the FBI over Operation Flex.

The government is arguing in response that allowing the case to go forward would reveal state secrets and harm national security.
政府回应称，允许案件继续审理将泄露国家机密并损害国家安全。
Craig is CAIR's primary resource in the case.

He's now helping the people he used to spy on.

And he's been apologizing to some of them, too.

He sees them often because he still lives around the corner from the Irvine mosque and works out in the same gym.

Um-- [SIGHS HEAVILY] you know, I definitely appreciate the fact that he called and that he apologized for it, but the damage is done.
嗯——[重重叹气]你知道，我非常感谢他打电话并为此道歉，但损害已经造成了。
I don't know what to do.

I really don't.
我真的不知道。
I now have a fear that I'm being monitored all the time.
我现在担心自己一直被监视。
I don't know how you can change that.

After Niazi's charges were dismissed, he went to the courthouse to retrieve some of the property that the FBI had seized from his house.
尼亚齐的指控被驳回后，他前往法院取回联邦调查局从他家中没收的部分财产。
Thomas Ropel was there.
