J Edgar Hoover (Documentary HD 720p)

Hoover was highly regarded by much of the U.S. public, but after his death he became an increasingly controversial figure. His many critics assert that he exceeded the jurisdiction of the FBI. He used the FBI to harass political dissenters and activists, to amass secret files on political leaders, and to use illegal methods to collect evidence. It is because of Hoover's long and controversial reign that FBI directors are now limited to 10-year terms.
