Vincent,

  This posting should be REQUIRED reading for every person in this
country. It is well written and is backed up by facts. However, there
are a few "loose ends" you left out.

  It is so-called "common knowledge" that Hoover had King survailed
for a number of years. What is NOT commonly known is who authorized
Hoover to undertake this task: that person was the Attorney General
Robert F. Kennedy. He and his brother where quite concerned (and it
turned out correctly so) that the civil rights movement was being
shanghied by the Communists as a method to stir up race and class
hatred and therefore lead to a revolution (those tactics had worked in
other countries, including the USSR and Cuba). Both the Kennedy
brothers had meetings with MLK begging him to sever his ties with the
Communists, but to no avail. 

  I would love to see someone steal that FBI file on MLK and publish
the complete contents - let's get ALL the evidence out in the open for
the American people to see and know the "REAL" MLK, not the phoney
near-saint that he is made out to be.

Regards,

  Bill Bowen
