This is why having been born just out of dictatorship in Portugal, and knowing how the McCarthy worked out, why I always wonder how US citizens have this glamours idea that their secret services follow some kind of law, besides their own agenda.
Like many of us, I had family fighting in colonies and know lots of histories from people that were affected by PIDE/DGS or had "nice interviews" with their officers.
I wonder how you can wonder about those days, unless from being part of more younger generations where those days sadly don't mean anything any more.
Do you know that the way PIDE/DGS imprisoned some students is part of the genesis for Amnesty International?
