A report issued yesterday by the House Committee on Government Reform gave
the fullest accounting to date of the F.B.I.'s use of murderers as
informants in Boston for three decades and its protection of them even to
the point of allowing innocent men to be sentenced to death.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation's policy "must be considered one of the
greatest failures in the history of federal law enforcement" and had
"disastrous consequences," the report said.

More than 20 people were killed by F.B.I. informants in Boston starting in
1965, often with the help of F.B.I. agents, it said, but no F.B.I. agent or
official has ever been disciplined.
