Another Glimpse At FBI's Dark Days | Talking Points Memo

TPMmuckraker, via a FOIA request, has obtained most of the FBI file of the late black historian John Hope Franklin. His "ties" to communists and the Communist Party were of great interest to the J. Edgar Hoover-era FBI, including a 1965 memo from the FBI director instructing agents on how to conduct a background check on Franklin: "Appropriate informants familiar with CP and communist front activities should be contacted during the investigation."
Justin Elliott did the digging and posted documents from the file here.

W. Cleon Skousen was not a historian so much as a player in the history of the American far right; less a scholar of the republic than a threat to it. At least, that was the judgment of J. Edgar Hoover's FBI, which maintained a file on Skousen for years that eventually totaled some 2,000 pages. Before he died in 2006 at the age of 92, Skousen's own Mormon church publicly distanced itself from the foundation that Skousen founded and that has published previous editions of "The 5,000 Year Leap."

"Skousen conducted his office as Chief of Police in exactly the same manner in which the Communists operate their government," Lee wrote to a friend explaining his firing of Skousen. "The man is a master of half-truths. In at least three instances I have proven him to be a liar. He is a very dangerous man [and] one of the greatest spenders of public funds of anyone who ever served in any capacity in Salt Lake City government."

What interests me here is the fact that the task was easily within the capabilities of the FBI who did the job.
