    If considering the scale of perishing in labour camps, fierce tortures during interrogations, and executions for trifles or nothing, Hoover looks rather inoffensive in comparison with his colleagues and contemporaries, Genrikh Himmler and Laurentiy Behriya. Thus, Hoover was buried with honours, while the ashes of two others were thrown away. Certainly, Hoover wasn't an angel at all. The matter is that a supreme police chief is a mirror of all the political situation in a given power. Sergey (61), Russia.

    Hoover has been vindicated about his claims of communist infiltration of politics and the civil rights movement. I think he should have been more aggressive in protecting black civil rights, and then after his agency proved its exemplary protection of civil rights, reveal links to communism and corruption in the civil rights movement. Criticism of communist leanings in the civil rights movement would have been received by Congress and the public if the FBI had really helped black Americans in good faith and protected protesters.

    You can say what you want about him, but the country was much better off when he was there. Difficulties arose after he was gone.
