Absolutely true. Nothing wrong with catching real spies and throwing
them under the jail house...But that's a far cry from making folks
unemployable because of their political believes and organizational
memberships...;-)

A recent PBS piece on the spys and the atom bomb projects back in the 
40s showed how there were many, many people in the U.S. government who 
were spying for the Soviet Government. Imagine, if McCarthy had 
actually done his homework, rather than just pulling papers out of his 
trash and waving them at his hearings, he might have actually found 
more than two or three real spys.
