Rights group acted legally to acquire racist books, official says - billingsgazette.com Several accusations that the Montana Human Rights Network bought stolen books from a former member of the racist World Church of the Creator are unfounded, a law enforcement official said this week. And there's a chance that the racist group has no legal claim to the books anyway because the Southern Poverty Law Center won $1 million of the group's assets in a 1994 U.S. District Court judgment, said Heidi Beirich of the center. The books in question - some 4,100 white supremacist books worth $41,000 - were sold several months ago to the Montana Human Rights Network by a defector from the organization for $300. The defector - who was second in command of the Montana faction of The World Church of the Creator when he sold the books - left the group shortly after selling the stash.
