== Keene Act vs House Un-American Activities Committee == 

 Watchmen's use of the Keene act to suppress costumed adventurers seems very similar to the explanation of the Justice Society of America's quiescence during the 50s - according to our article on whom,  
 "the Society chose to disband and retire rather than appear in front of the real House Un-American Activities Committee, which demanded that they unmask themselves". That was written in 1979, a few years before Watchmen; did Moore borrow the idea? If that's known, it would be good to mention.
