Jimmy C

I understand that Jimmy Carter took the opportunity to mention, during his oration at Coretta King's funeral, that she was persecuted by being illegally wiretapped.

From the LA Times article on the event:

Carter, who has had a strained relationship with Bush, drew cheers when he used the Kings' struggle as a reminder of the recent debate over whether Bush violated civil liberties protections by ordering warrantless surveillance of some domestic phone calls and e-mails.Noting that the Kings' work was "not appreciated even at the highest level of the government," Carter said: "It was difficult for them personally — with the civil liberties of both husband and wife violated as they became the target of secret government wiretapping, other surveillance, and as you know, harassment from the FBI." Bush has said his own program of warrantless wiretapping is aimed at stopping terrorists.

Way to go, Mr. C. Nicely done.
