Provide examples of how each of the following entities arguably abused its power: CIA, Defense Department, NSA, and the FBI.
What will be an ideal response?
CIA: Over time the CIA has conducted clandestine spying operations on American political dissidents, collected police reports on homosexuals, and spied on radicals in the United States. Defense Department: Military intelligence during the turbulent 1960s collected enormous amounts of data on individuals associated with domestic unrest.
NSA: Arguably the most secretive of all intelligence agencies, the NSA has compiled files on thousands of Americans, intercepted all cables leaving the United States, and monitored international phone calls of people on a "watch list," which includes the names of the peaceful, the nonviolent, and the totally legal.
FBI: Spying on American citizens has been the most far-reaching and most vindictive act. Targets have included the ACLU, the NAACP, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Supreme Court Justices. The FBI has not stopped at spying but has conducted active smear campaigns.
