More From Jeff Greenfield

I have great respect for the fbi, and i know that there have been some rumors lately that the fbi was disenchanted because of what we were doing in story, or doing a certain take: that's not true. actually the fbi was tremendously enthusiastic about us doing [ j. edgar hoover ] film.
Rumor Stories Film
I just kind of had my own impressions growing up with hoover as a heroic figure in the 40s - actually the 30s, 40s, and 50s and beyond - but this was all prior to the information age so we didn't know about hoover except what was usually in the papers, and this was fun, because this was a chance to go into it [ during filming 'j. edgar hoover' ]
Growing Up Fun Age
There are similarities between absolute power and absolute faith: a demand for absolute obedience, a readiness to attempt the impossible, a bias for simple solutionsto cut the knot rather than unravel it, the viewing of compromise as surrender. both absolute power and absolute faith are instruments of dehumanization. hence, absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power.
Faith Cutting Power
The president has a duty and a right to oversee the fbi, and you know, he properly delegate the law enforcement to the fbi and try to insulate it from politics. but that's not to curb the president's authority over the fbi. so if he wants to meet with the fbi and give his opinion or even talk about his hopes, if indeed, he said that, he has every right to do so.
Giving Trying President
Any assassination is an assassination. it's cold, it's terrible. i'm against any capital punishment. only the lord has the right to take away life because he's the giver of life. and assassination stands against democracy, against civilization, against a civilized life of people. alas, the situation in lebanon is very chaotic and many innocent people lost their lives because they have a state within a state, an army within an army and the respect for life is not high enough.
Army Punishment Civilization
If congress is going to investigate baseball players about whether or not they told the truth, how can we justify giving the most powerful intelligence official, [james] clapper, a pass? this is how j. edgar hoover ended up in charge of the fbi forever.
