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."

There's an excerpt on his wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King,_Jr 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 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.html http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,913763,00.h...

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.
