Spying on Mrs. King
Persistence paid off for David Raziq and Mark Greenblatt of Houston's KHOU Channel 11, who worked for more than a year and a half to force the FBI to respond to their Freedom of Information Act request for the agency's files on Coretta Scott King. Their "Inside the FBI's Secret Files on Coretta Scott King" reveals that the federal government spied on Mrs. King even after her husband was assassinated. Greenblatt and Raziq offer disturbing details of the bugging, surveillance and harassment of the Kings and their associates by J. Edgar Hoover's "Racial Intelligence Section.” A big thanks to the Poynter Institute's Al Tompkins for suggesting this story. www.khou.com/topstories/stories/khou070830_ac_scottkingfiles.85e64faa.html
