1972 snooping on AFRAM student groups

[Yakno1]

Sometimes news paper(nyt & wash post) comment sections are filled w/informative info; This comment came from a story about one of the three letters snooping on our reps.

Right now I am reading Betty Medsger's book, The Burglary. about the 1972 burglary of an eff bee eye office in Media, PA, and the fallout. Basically, the documents released by the burglars showed that the eff bee eye was spending about 40% of its time infiltrating and investigating anti-War, peace, anti-nuke, anti-draft, and African-American student organizations. Among the information in this book is that Hoover's eff bee eye kept much of its work (and files) secret from Congress and fought bitterly against any efforts for effective Congressional oversight.

Sound familiar?

That's 1972, I know times were different but you have to wonder if these programs especially on students are still active.

I think the snooping of various organizations still goes on, but not on a scale like it was.
