Now, the AP is filing a lawsuit for misappropriation of their name.<\/p>\n<p>In order to stop a bomb threat from a then 15-year-old young man, the FBI sent him a link to a fake AP article that gave the agency access to the suspect\u2019s computer. When the AP found out about the ruse they sued the U.S. Department of Justice for damaging their name.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe FBI both misappropriated the trusted name of The Associated Press and created a situation where our credibility could have been undermined on a large scale,\u201d said AP General Counsel Karen Kaiser. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is improper and inconsistent with a free press for government personnel to masquerade as The Associated Press or any other news organization,\u201d said Kaiser. \u201cThe FBI may have intended this false story as a trap for only one person. However, the individual could easily have reposted this story to social networks, distributing to thousands of people, under our name, what was essentially a piece of government information.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But FBI Director James Comey argued the tactic was \u201cproper and appropriate\u201d given the agency\u2019s guidelines at the time. Comey said regulations have increased since 2007 and a similar operation would now require more higher-level approvals than before, but it would still be lawful. <\/p>\n<p>Comey added that despite the AP\u2019s lawsuit, the agency may very well pose as a news agency in the future, though each instance should be \u201cdone carefully with significant supervision, if it\u2019s going to be done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(<em>This article was a submission from freelance writer Brent Rogers<\/em>) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2007, the FBI thwarted a bomb threat by posing as the Associated Press.
