“Roger: You seem to me to say that self-criticism was a necessary tool in the process that got Lee to back down. That should set off some alarm bells! It appears to me that Lee was isolated — deprived of his support group — and then put under pressure to admit his failings and change his viewpoint. That, plus the necessary self-criticism, reminds me of KGB interrogations from the Stalin era…and of a few other nasty things.”
Whoa, Benson…. running off the rails a bit here, aren’t we? I seem to recall Lee was sitting at the table with Charles Steele, the head of the SCLC who had flown out from Atlanta for the occasion. Steele was quite an appealing guy in my view, and might be said to provide a measure of support for Lee, who didn’t seem to be unhappy to be there either. But then the KGB works in mysterious ways. (BTW, Benson, in Stalin times it was the NKVD).
