Flashback: A Look Back at the Church Committee's Investigation into CIA, FBI Misuse of Power
We take a look at one of the most famous special Senate investigations of government misconduct. In the mid-1970s, a US Senate committee chaired by Democratic Senator Frank Church of Idaho conducted a massive investigation of the CIA and FBI's misuse of power at home and abroad. The multi-year investigation examined domestic spying, the CIA's attempts to assassinate foreign leaders, the FBI and CIA's efforts to infiltrate and disrupt leftist organizations, and more. We speak with Sen. Frank Church's widow, Bethine Church, and Frederick A.O. Schwarz, Jr., who served as chief counsel to the Church Committee. http://www.democracynow.org/2009/4/24/flashback_a_look_back_at_the
