46. Maybe its not precisely the correct acronym to use....
I'm just talking about people (who may not even be officially part of the government-afterall the government subcontracts much of its intelligence work) who are used for breaking up dissident groups. The "dissident group" in this case are those who participate in political activities pushing the idea that the government was somehow responsible for 9/11. You can understand why the government would be interested in breaking up such a group, whether or not the government actually had anything to do with 9/11?

I may be using the term "COINTELPRO" more as an adjective than a precise designation, and I guess I can see where a lawyer familiar with actual COINTELPRO activies might require precise definitions. Again, my apologies for causing any confusion. "CONITELPRO operations" are often referred to on political blogs to refer to these types of activities. Who knows what, if any, is the official, secret government designation for such a program, until it might get declassified.
