I paraphrase the FBI's cordial letter of November 1964 to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: "Arrington, there is only one thing left for you to do. You know what it is. You have just 34 days in which to do [it]. … You are done. There is but one way out for you. You better take it before your filthy, abnormal fraudulent self is bared to the nation."

Umm, that was a bit too heavy handed.
I wish the man health, long life and prospority. And I wish to myself an internet without his drama.

I agree, in retrospect my comment was totally inappropriate.

I was curious enough about this that I looked into it...
There's an excerpt on his wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King,_Jr. then search the text for "anonymous", and an image of it at http://www.oilempire.us/cointelpro.html
TIME magazine also mentioned the letter in 1975 at http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,913763,00.h...

I got curious as well, and your post helped. Just to point more clearly to the source, the cited reference comes from:
Title: "Judgment Days: Lyndon Baines Johnson, Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Laws that Changed America"
Author: Kotz, Nick
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin (2005). p. 247.
