Harry Reid: “There is not an organization in this country that is concerned about human rights or civil rights that wants J. Edgar…”

“There is not an organization in this country that is concerned about human rights or civil rights that wants J. Edgar Hoover's name on the FBI building. This is a building that houses officials sworn to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States, our civil liberties, the liberties of all Americans. No official in the history of this country has done more to violate the rights of people than J. Edgar Hoover. I think we should honor those who work in that building by removing this man's name from the building. Mr. President, Ronald Reagan stands for what is good about this country. J. Edgar Hoover stands for what is bad about this country. This small man violated the rights of hundreds, if not thousands, of people, famous and not so famous.”
