A foofnote on J. Edgar Hoover

I have little doubt that Hoover will go down in history as a meddlesome and ethically-deprived advocate of the worst part of the spectrum that still contains our deleterious and destructive belief the Cold War. We have not gotten to the point that the Cold War itself can be seen as largely delusory, as a means of organizing a national paranoia and launching a military-industrial, big oil economy. As we now reap the whirlwind the pendulum will swing toward a more balanced and sober analysis and toward a more candid assessment of the dangers of men like Hoover in places of power.
