  On Memorial Day, according to the United States Code, the nation’s flag is to be displayed at half-staff until noon, when it is raised to full-staff.

  Congress, not a team of prosecutors, dug out the truth — U.S. government surveillance programs were used to secretly, and probably illegally, wiretap, bug and harass U.S. citizens.
  Two congressional committees documented the surveillance abuses by the NSA and FBI. The committees were chaired by Sen. Frank Church, D-Idaho, and Rep. Otis Pike, D-New York. One wiretap target was Martin Luther King, Jr. J. Edgar Hoover thought King colluded with Communists.

  SACRAMENTO — In the winner-takes-all world of electoral politics, it’s always helpful for both sides to have convenient boogeymen. Liberals love to depict the Koch brothers as the scourge of our political system. They are GOP-oriented billionaires who fund free-market causes. Likewise, conservatives often rant about the supposed evils of George Soros, the New York-based billionaire whose Open Society Foundations fund liberal priorities.
