You said "Bravo" to Sam's statement: Filegate (the one Clinton "scandal" that does disturb me--it is also ironic that the Republicans voted to keep the name of the FBI building despite the fact that Hoover was by far the worst single official offender of the violation of privacy in our history) Why are you liberals so uninformed about history and American history in particular? While Hoover certainly did commit some violations of privacy he also used his power to stop many of the more outrageous acts against US citizens that the Kennedys wanted to the FBI to perform. Hoover shielded Americans from the Kennedy's transgressions. No wonder liberals despise him and not McCarthy's right hand man, RFK. Funny isn't it that those transgressions have been more ably documented by British authors? RFK will never get his name on the FBI building because the FBI files are replete with violations that he committed. Remember Hoover took care to get RFK's signature on RFK's order to spy on Martin Luther King, despite Kennedy's attempts to avoid a paper trail - liberals always seem to omit that fact. Do you wonder why a Democrat Congress passed a law that forbade another RFK situation from ever happening again? Even if RFK hadn't committed so many outrageous acts as AG, wouldn't it just be preposterous to put the name of America's most famous organized crime family on the FBI building? It is not only ironic but also telling that liberals would want to make that change.
