Hi folks- here's an update. First- coming in November I will be speaking in public for the first time on the McCarthy era so make sure you register with your email address to keep informed of this.
Despite the onslaught of personal attacks (everything from accusations I don't actually work in Chicago theatre to claims I was CIA- which really makes no sense) my summaries were simple:
* Government agencies had no way to get information to each other
* Known spies within our government were allowed to stay in due to
the FBI breaking the law and making prosecution impossible, Intel groups
unwilling to act or pass on information
And I said those problems exist- TODAY.
I had to take the tagboard down after obscenities began to appear but trust me, it was filled with attacks. I even got a few email death threats. By email! Now that's pathetic!
How people could read the above and decide I was a cheerleader for intel I have no idea.
But here is the proof that those problems have continued to today:
http://civildefense.blogdrive.com/archive/cm-08_cy-2005_m-08_d-19_y-2005_o-0.html I suppose this will only make people madder- but we are at war folks.
I'm not McCarthy. Don't silence the messenger!
