Sure, sure, believe what you will.... Here's a little word from Jeffrey L. Rogers, a Vietnam veteran from a prominent Republican family. “We should be very worried that the way Bush and his handlers are going about ‘defending the country’ is eroding the essence of our country,” he said. “Fortunately, history has shown that sooner of later Americans catch on to those who exploit fear, and we return to our true values.” Mr. Rogers grew up in what he called a “progressive Republican” household. His father, William P. Rogers, was attorney general in President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s second term and the first secretary of state under President Richard M. Nixon. When Nixon, as a congressman in the late 1940’s, pursued espionage accusations against Alger Hiss, he did so based on advice from William Rogers, then a committee counsel on Capitol Hill. “J. Edgar Hoover and Dad were pretty close, and I used to go to the firing range at the F.B.I. and all that stuff,” Jeffrey Rogers said. “I had a lot of respect for the F.B.I.” nytimes.com
