One thing to keep in mind though...counter intelligence programs are directed toward any group the fbi or cia view as a threat to civil order or the union. This also includes neo nazi and skinhead groups and the american socialist party. It also includes the southern christian coalition (mlk) and black panther party.

COINTELPRO as a strategy to avoid civil unrest is not inherantly evil. But clearly, how they are implemented can be.
It also includes thecoli.com

Anything to do with a United Front( All Colors united) or a Coalition that created a viewpoint of self-determination/self-defense and self reliance was a problem. For example Fred Hampton created the Rainbow Coalition that had blacks, whites, PuertoRicans collaborating and Jesse Jackson stole the name later on.

It is one of the successes of the COINTELPRO that it established character assassination as a substitute for political analysis in many quarters of the Movement.

These moves, as defined by the COINTELPRO, are designed to "disrupt, discredit, destroy and otherwise neutralize" all real and potential Black nationalist and activist leadership and leadership groups (Senate Hearings, Church Report). It is still continued until this day.

A total of 2,370 officially approved COINTELPRO actions were admitted to the Senate Intelligence Committee, and thousands more have since been uncovered. One main method has been revealed:

1. Infiltration: Agents and informers did not merely spy on political activists. Their main purpose was to discredit and disrupt. Their very presence served to undermine trust and scare off potential supporters.
