@benwizner @C7RKY Seems overoptimistic to me - COINTELPRO wasn't malevolent or psychopathic? Persecution of MLK? McCarthyism?

@paulrogers002@C7RKY That's exactly the point. Very ordinary people do very terrible things to "protect" against very vague threats. -

@benwizner J Edgar pretty much defined the term "malevolent sociopath". You may wish to familiarize yourself with history. -
@SpookdBlog I wrote "staffed," not "led." I was making a point about the banality of evil, not defending the FBI. -
@benwizner You're right. Hoover was quite evil, and grew more-so under LBJ's patronage - to spy on AmCits as well as Congress.

@benwizner Um, No. Recall in 1971 the FBI was being LED by a malevolent sociopath. The others were "just following orders."@Thomas_Drake1 -
