The AP reports that the FBI says a lecture at the bureau's training academy which portrayed moderate American Muslims as inherently violent and prone to terrorist tendencies "has been discontinued."
Spencer Ackerman at Wired.com first broke the story yesterday.
AP:
The bureau employee who gave the lecture contended, among other things, that the more devout a Muslim is, the more likely he is to be violent.
A federal law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity about the internal FBI training issue, says the lecture was given for just three days last April.
FBI spokesman Christopher Allen says that in the aftermath of the lecture, policy changes have been under way to better ensure that all training is consistent with FBI standards.
