than hoover was. nonetheless, the fbi, like all agencies, depends on a combination of secrecy and power to do its job, and that combination of secrecy and power poses inherent threats to democracy. it's a dangerous combination, and i think it's incumbent on citizens and lawmakers to demand transparency and accountability and that's probably the best way to make sure there is transparency to be actively involved. >> i have a similar question on foia. i'm ying lee. what do you think the prospects are for the redacted information, the most vital information, to be released sometime in the future? >> right. you mean specifically in the richard documents? >> no, no, all the documents. >> oh -- >> all fbi documents have been redacted, there is more material acted --d -- read redacted than released. i just wonder is anything original or put forward -- [inaudible] >> right. there are certain rules on automatic declassification that require records to be released, and that has resulted in the release of much m

edgar hoover called the rev. dr. martin luther king, "the most notorious liar in the country." >> dr. king, what is your reaction to the charges made by j edgar hoover? >> well, i was quite shocked and surprised to learn of this statement for mr. hoover questioning my integrity. frankly, i don't understand what motivated the statement. >> as martin luther king prepared to go to oslo to received the nobel peace prize 50 years ago, the fbi ramped up its efforts to discredit the civil rights leader. we will speak to the yale professor who uncovered an unredacted copy of the fbi's so-called suicide letter when -- to king. the letter threatened to expose king's alleged extramarital affairs if he did not commit suicide. and then, no debate and the new war. one in 89. that is number of antiwar voices indicted on the high profile sunday talk shows to talk about u.s. attacks on iraq in syria. all that and more, coming up. welcome to dem, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. missouri governor jay nixon has declared a sta

edgar hooverer. >> i was quite surprised by mr. hoover questioning my integrity. quite frankly, i don't know what motivated this. >> well, we now know a lot more. one year earlier, dr. king has delivered his i have a dream speech and the f.b.i. has named the most dangerous negro of communist influence does exist in the negro movement and can influence large masses of people. it seems hoover and the f.b.i. were convinced that martin luther king were trying to bring about a communist overthrow of the united states. and their attempts to discredit king went far beyond just calling him a liar. the f.b.i. placed bugs in king's hotel room, tapped his phones, bugged his apartment in at lan that. while hoover found out very little about subterfuge, he did begin to learn about king's extramarital affairs. and that brings us to one of the most shames of the american government. today, the "new york times" published a full, unredakted letter sent to king in 1964. it's an utterly shocking document. a letter accuses king of being "a filthy, ash normal animal who's engauged in

which now brings us to lou henry hoover. and i put lou in the category of our first modern -- of our truly modern first ladies because for those of you that live in this area and have had an opportunity to perhaps see other exhibits that have been here at the hoover, you know that she was extremely independent. she had strong leadership characteristics, all the things that tom said about her in the introduction. and we see this also in terms of her clothing choices. but one of the things that is not remembered about lou which i think is kind of sad is that lou was considered one of the best dressed women in washington, d.c. i think that we sometimes forget that herbert hoover came back from his relief work in europe to serve under the wilson administration in 1917. and he was pretty much here serving one person or another until he became president himself in 1928. and entered the white house in 1929. lou was very much in the washington social circle to the extent that she wasn't in california or working with her girl scouts.

dunlap's current research brings her to lou henry hoover. she has twice been a recipient of the hoover presidential foundation's travel grants for visiting scholars, allowing annette to mind the lou henry hoover manuscript collection here in west branch. dunlap was featured as scholar for frances cleveland and lou henry hoover on c-span's recent series, "america's first ladies." more than a decade has lapsed since lou hoover received a book-length biography. so dunlap's published research is eagerly awaited. anyone who's had the briefest introduction to lou immediately recognizes an individual possessing a powerful intellect, an infectious and generous

edgar hoover. why? why was he writing this? of jealousy that he was a fast-rising soon to be iconic man in the civil rights movement or was he truly irked at his extracurricular activity? >> i think it was all of those things, really. so they had actually been wiretapping king and bugging his hotel rooms at least a year before this letter was sent. they had been wiretapping some of his associates, some who had been involved in the communist party at some point. hoover, in particular, was not fond of civil rights activists and really was not fond of people palling around with communists. and martin luther king had also come out on several occasions and criticized the fbi itself for failing to enforce civil rights law. that was, by war, the worst thing you could do and almost anyone who criticized the fbi sort of ended up on hoover's enemy list in one way or another, though not everyone got a letter like this one. >> a fascinating piece of history. you write in "the new york times" piece, this so-called suicide letter, the most n

hoover, i concur. this shows how they close the mattachine society because there was no evidence of any communist infiltration. the last slide i want to show you that has some historic value is this one dated march of 1956. what's significant about this particular document is that mr. hoover himself wrote to doj, the department of justice, to assistant attorney general warren alney and he said, look, here's a copy of "one" magazine. oh, by the way, here's the october 1954 copy of the magazine. look at it. tell us, is this obscene? so, for the director of the fbi to get down in the weeds and try to influence the mailability of "one" magazine really tells you the extent to which the federal government was hell-bent on making sure that home sexuals did not have the exercise of free speech in this publication. they would not be able to read about homosexuality. what's more, the federal government made sure that the public would not be educated about homosexuals and homosexuality. these next few documents,

he fought harder than ever and hit back at hoover directly. fbi director called him a liar in public he hit back. >> well, i was quite shocked and surprised to learn of this statement from mr. hoover questioning my integrity. and very frankly, i don't understand what motivated the statement. the only thing that i can see is that mr. hoover is probably faltering under the awesome responsibilities, complexities and demands of his very important office. >> i remember discussing the letter with martin luther king iii, but now it has surfaced. it only brings home the sacrifice, pain, set-ups and all kinds of entrapments people endured to get some of the rights we enjoyed. it should make us hold onto them and be aggressive about making sure their sacrifice was not in vain. thank you for joining us. "hardball" starts right now. >> should we just get out of iraq? let's play hardball. good evening, i'm chris matthews in washington, george wilson called the 2003 invasion of iraq quote, the worst foreign policy decision in u.s. history. what does it say

hoover. they brought in william lambert, the chair of the board of "one" and accused him of having written the article in which members of the fbi were accused of being gay. what do they say about mr. lambert? simply no good. and they talked about the society and said that they were all no good. this next document from february of 1966 confirms the handwriting on that january 56 document was, in fact, from mr. tolleson and the director himself, mr. hoover. this also says so they close the investigation because there was no evidence of communist infiltration. the last slide i want to show you of historic value is this one dated march 1956. and of 1956. and what is significant is mr. hoover himself wrote the department of justice, assistant attorney general and said to him, here is a copy of "one" magazine. look at it. tell us. is this obscene. for the director of the fbi to get down in the weeds and try to influence the male ability of "one" magazine tells you the extent to which the federal g

edgar hoover, sinking to a new and despicable low against his war against martin luther king jr.is a scandal that is getting a full and public airing. it's just jaw-dropping elena. there's no other way i can describe it when you read the letter and know that dr. king got this letter and it was from the fbi. i mean, spell this story out for our viewers and give them the backstory on it. >> reporter: well ashleigh, up until this point all we had seen was part of this letter. it had been heavily redacted and it was supposed to be written by one of his supporters but we know that it came from the fbi. we get a sense at how threatening and graphic this letter was. i'll read to you part of the letter that was initially redacted and now out in the public. you will finish. your filthy, dirty evil companions, males and females giving expression to you with your hideous abnormalities and some of them promise to be ministers of the gospel. satan could not do more. what incredible evilness. it is all there on the record your sexual orgies listen to yourself you filthy abnormal animal. no now

president hubert hoover got reports that they were behind the collapse. so it was president hoover who called on republicans who were in the majority in the senate to begin an investigation in 1932. well they started in here and started in '32 and called various people and discovered right away that the bare ray tors were not responsible for the depression. kennedy and barut saw it coming but didn't cause it. the investigation floundered. there were several chief councils of the committee that couldn't get traction. they called in the head of the new york stock exchange. he stone walled them. they couldn't quite figure out what to do. finally came the end of the year. they had to do a final report. they hired a prosecutor from new york by the name of ferdinand who's a short stocky american who's a cigar new yorker. he had been in the new york district attorney's office. he came here and was supposed to write the final report. he started going through it and realized they didn't prove anything. he asked the chairman if he could have a little extra, a month

hoover. what did they do? they brought in william lambert and accused him of having written the article in which members of the fbi were accused of being gay. what. what do they say? strictly no good,, and they talked about the society as well and said that they were all know good. this next document from february 1956 confirms the handwriting on that document i showed you a moment ago was from mr. tolson and the director himself. this also says how they closed the society investigation because there was no evidence of any communist infiltration. the the last slide with some historic value is this one. what is significant is that mr. hoover himself wrote to the department of justice, assistant attorney general and says to him, here is copy of "one" magazine, and here is the october 1954 copy. look look at it. tell us. is this obscene? for the director of the fbi to get down in the weeds and try to influence the mail ability of "one" magazine really tells you the extent to which the federal government was hell-

which would be the most since 1929, since january 19299. >> hoover. >> since the hoover administration which is huge. also what it says about democrats it is it just further marginalizes them. they had 199. they have a smaller number now. and i think it just raises questions about just, you know, how they can have an impact in the house with numbers that are continually shrinking debbie shults the head of the dmz you would think that she would have to leave at some point. this does give john boehner a lot more flexibility in what he does. before they had about 230, if he lost 15 republicans lot more flexibility. you wouldn't see a situation like you saw last time in the shutdown fight in which a relatively small number of republicans could withdraw their support for somebody leaving boehner high and dry. now he has a lot more to work with. >> a much biggerwhile they did a majority this is a big deal in the house? >> yeah. look, the fact is that the country is so volume cannized with these districts it's hard to make big gains anymore. people thought the republicans were reaching upper
