Your Tax Dollars At Work

Personal surveillance was conducted on Anderson and three of his staff members, including Brit Hume, now with Fox News, for two months in 1972 after Anderson wrote of the administration’s “tilt toward Pakistan.” ~The Washington Post

This is beyond bizarre.  Was it supposed to be a state secret in 1972 that America “tilted” towards Pakistan, a member of CENTO whose 1971 war effort we had supported?  Was it also unknown to the general public in 1972 that Nixon had gone to China, Pakistan’s principal ally and sponsor?  For their next trick, the CIA could have kept an eye on all those infiltrators who had been leaking information about a “special relationship” with some country called Britain.
