I don't know. That's why there is a "?" mark on the post. I simply remember how outraged everyone "way back then" was that a Federal agency would take those actions. In addition the IRS was allegedly told to audit the returns of political opponents -- and apparantely did.
The anti-war completely infilterated.
The Attorney General wants more powers in an expansion of The Patriot Act. I'm seriously concerned about our Constitutional rights.
You've all heard about giving an inch and taking a mile. It's been done before.
I hope it doesn't happen again, but there was a story on the news this week about a "peace club" in San Diego that was infiltrated by an undercover sheriff's deputy. The folks who are members and interviewed are a bunch of overweight, middle aged people who don't agree with the war.
