A bunch of transcripts of long-secret testimony from 160 closed hearings held during McCarthy's red-baiting heyday have been released.
To say the least, they are interesting reading. Nothing surprising or shocking, but it definitely shows the sheer fervor and recklessness that was behind McCarthy's assault on Communism in America. Sad, really. Quite an example of fanaticism at it's worst.
