Nuke, its like the agent provacateurs of the Vietnam era. But the illegalities and authoritarianism of COINTELPRO are another discussion...
The part that struck me was:
Are we coming to a thought police of just acceptable speech?
If the case is that CIA agents (through this program) are creating files and surveilling Professors, students, etc. - then there's a problem.... The CIA isn't allowed to gather intelligence on Domestic sources to begin with.
The rest of this, I frankly have no problem with it.
