Hi, great article except you missed one of the best!
Check out a book called "When Prophecy Fails" about a group of Sociologists and students that infiltrated an American Flying Saucer cult at the height of their popularity in the 1950's.
100% percent illegal by today's standards, starting with putting Grad students in harms way by getting several of them to go underground inside a possibly dangerous cult. The surveillance probably violated everyone's rights as well. ;-)
The result was an interesting and contra-indicated result that could not have been discovered any other way and a fascinating insight into the growth of cults that has never been matched.

Abusive comment hidden.
(Show it anyway.)
Right or wrong, many, many people around the globe view America as a country obsessed with military power and war; a country on a holy mission to crush it's (perceived) enemies around the world.
Reminding everyone each year, that on July the 4th America was "born in violence," and that they still worship that "up yours" kind of spirit, seems like a very *bad* idea to me. ;-)
