I dont recall children taken from their relatives in the middle of the night with an M-16 stuck in their face and shipped off to Cuba. Especially without due process or a valid search warrant. I dont recall 83 adults surrounded by special forces on US soil and have tanks crash through their private property creating a circumstance that burned them alive. We wait weeks to free those hostage on an air liner. Stuff like that didnt happen during the McCarthy Era. It happened during the Clinton Era. In the MCCarthy Era we actually tried to FIND spies in our government. In the Clinton era spies were invited to a coffee at the White House to contribute money to Clinton-Gore 96. Party favors at that those Clinton-Gore "outreach" events were given goodie bags of laptops from the Department of Defense filled with MIRV warhead design specs as souveniers. My how times have changed. marcel deste
