It might also be a subtle hint to read up on history. In the specific case of Hoover, the public did react. When Hoover died, ending decades of quiet terror, his 3rd in command was passed over for promotion to the top job. In retaliation he started leaking a lot of dirty laundry to the press, which caused a huge reaction that ultimately ended with the resignation of the president, huge shakeups of all spy agencies, and a giant crack in faith from which we've yet to recover. One disgruntled spook with a fistful of secrets paralyzed all "four" branches of the government of the most powerful country in the world for over a year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Throat_(Watergate) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Throat_(Watergate) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Committee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Committee
