History Question. What Year?

[KelliJ 0]

It started out innocently enough. There was nothing more than suspicion at first, then accusations. Those who were the subject of the finger pointing denied involvement at first, but soon the pressure to admit involvement became too much and some gave in regardless of guilt. They confessed their sins and, to earn favor from their accusers, became accusers themselves. Soon, the government was putting on trial anyone who dared speak out against their cleansing acts. No person was safe, no person was exempt from suspicion.
Only when it was over would the foolishness of it all be clear. But a lesson was learned, one that would never be repeated…or would it?

Salem Witch Hunt? McCarthy Hearings? Drugs in Baseball?

I voted "all of the above", but when I started to read the post my first thought was the Salem witch trials.

I was thinking of "the Inquisition" but it pretty much applies to Stalin's purges and also....kinda' sounds like Bush's reich.
