Thanks. I had to do quite a bit of research to get it straight in my own head. The best detailing of the chronology I've found so far comes, unfortunately, from the left, in David Cunningham's "There's Something Happening Here: The New Left, The Klan and FBI Counterintelligence," written in 2004 to warn us against the excesses of Bush, the FBI and the Patriot Act. Even Cunningham describes the prosecution of Felt and Miller as "largely symbolic."
This decade itself is being rewritten as we speak, and most people will absorb it, believe it and move on, until someone like Hugh Hewitt gives them a facile one-paragraph scapegoat summary to explain 9/11, the WOT and the necessity of freeing the unfairly incarcerated brave Jihadists from the unending tortures of Gitmo. Blech.
Bump, bookmark...one of the best FR threads.
