Thanks for posting this article. A real eye-opener.

It reminds me of the scene in Guarding Tess where the Secret Service agent shoots the suspect in the foot or something to get him to reveal where he has buried the President's Widow.

In the real-life case, of course, there was no actual violence done, only violence prevented.

I almost wonder whether this officer would never have been prosecuted at all if he had gotten the informant to reveal a planned attack on the President of the US. Yes, I know what happens in a movie may not reflect reality, but does anyone here believe that if the President's life had been saved by this officer we would have heard about this matter.
