(Remember when J. Edgar Hoover routinely wire-tapped and surveilled suspicious threats to the national security like Elvis, the Beatles, Desi and Ricky, etc.? It was a time when movies out of Hollywood ALWAYS portrayed his FBI in only the most pristine terms.) --jim _______________________________________________ Politech mailing list Archived at http://www.politechbot.com/ Moderated by Declan McCullagh (http://www.mccullagh.org/)
