William Sullivan, head of the FBI’s domestic intelligence division
during the King surveillance program, told the committee in 1975,
Quote:
“No holds were barred. We have used [similar] techniques against Soviet agents.
[The same methods were] brought home against any organization against which we were targeted.
We did not differentiate. This is a rough, tough business.”

Sullivan, in his 1975 testimony before the Church panel, backtracked from his post-speech memo,
noting “we had to engage in a lot of nonsense which we ourselves really did not believe in.”
It's hard to see that since 1975 anything done in the name of "government security" has really changed.
