Michael Levine (born December 20, 1939) is a former senior United States law enforcement agent, who was called "America's top undercover cop for 25 years" by the television show 60 Minutes.
Special Agent in Charge for the New York City office of the DEA Robert Stutman denied any investigation into Stern and said "Levine's letter was written without the agency's knowledge.
[6] Levine replied in several articles that, "if President Morales had read the book he would have welcomed DEA as heroes and booted CIA from his country for betraying both the Bolivian and American people".
[7] On August 11 2008, Levine was featured on The Colbert Report in a segment entitled "Nailed 'Em," which pokes fun at the American justice system for law enforcement activity that some would consider trivial or frivolous.
[8] Levine has also been featured as an expert commentator on Dateline NBC, The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, Inside Edition, 60 Minutes, Crier Report, The Geraldo Rivera Show, Crossfire, Good Morning America, NBC and CBS morning shows, Cold Blood, The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, Charlie Rose, Bill Moyers' Project Censored, and Contrapunto (Crossfire's Spanish language version).
