CIAs aktiviteter behandles i kap. 3 i Ganser, Daniele: NATO'S SECRET ARMIES. På p. 52 - 53 behandles tillige tidlig rivalisering med FBI, NSC o.s.v. "Therefore on June 18, 1948 the NSC passed the notorious directive NSC 10/2 which authorised the CIA to carry out covert action operations in all countries of the World...Specifically covert action operations according to NSC 10/2 'shall include any covert activities related to: Propaganda; economic warfare; preventive direct action, including sabotage, anti-sabotage, demolition, and evacuation measures, subversion against hostile States, including assistance to Underground resistance movements, guerrillas and refugee liberation groups, and support of indigenous anti-Communist elements in threatened countries of the free world'....had thus seen the establishment of a US powerful intelligence complex which operates largely beyond the control of US Citizens both inside and outside the country.", p. 54. "By channelling funds to centre parties and developing media assets, [CIA] attempted to influence the election results - with considerable success'....By 1952 approximately forty different covert action projects were under way in one central European country alone.'...The spirit in the new US covert action centre...was aggressive, enthusiastic, secretive and morally careless." p.55. I 1951 var budgettet oppe på 82 millioner USD/år, 2800 fuldtidsansatte i USA. William Colby, der senere blev chef, arbejdede i Skandinavien. p. 56...Dulles authorised CIA assassination attempts on Castro and Lumumba as well as the CIA's LSD experiments with unwitting subjects some of whom ended throwing themselves from skyscrapers. Together with Wisner he organised the overthrow of Iran's President Mossadeh in 1953, and the coup d'état that overthrew the Socialist President Arbenz of Guatemala in 1954. And in 1956 in a reference to left-leaning President Sukamo of Indonesia. Wisner ordered his Far East Division covert action chief Alfred Ulmer that 'It's time we held Sukamo's feet to the fire.'' p. 59. Bush seniors periode som chef omtales p. 61. Den italienske parlamentariske kommission konstaterer: "'The persons were spied upon with cameras making dose up pictures from afar, secret systems with which their correspondence was controlled, recordings of what they had said in their phone calls, documentation with pictures of their extramarital relationships or sexual habits.' The parliamentary commission under General Aldo Beolchini did not fail to notice that 'especially data, which could be used as instruments of intimidation' was recorded.'' (p. 73). [min fremhævelse, OJ - min opfattelse er, at det er her vi finder roden til CIAs evne til at manipulere vore regeringer !]
og i Aldrich som specielt handler om samarbejdet med andre tjenester og om beskidte kneb.
Gladio-affæren i Italien handlede i ligeså høj grad om CIAs manipulationer, som om interne italienske skurkestreger. Big Bill, William Donovan var medlem af malteserordenen i Rom. CIA m.fl. havde gode forbindelser til Cosa Nostra, formentlig via den amerikanske underverden.

180302, New York Times. I 1955 ændrede CIA bogens slutning ved filmatiseringen af i George Orwell's "Animal Farm". Bogen slutter med at Orwell skriver om Winston Smith, , "He loved Big Brother." i filmen bliver det til, at han og Julia skydes ned efter at have råbt: Ned med Big Brother. Det og andre "kulturkrige" fremgår af Frances Stonor Saunders: "The Cultural Cold War: The CIA and theWorld of Arts and Letters"

Chalmers Johnson: "Improve the CIA ? Better to abolish it": "Who needs a CIA that so regularly underperforms in comparison to what is available on the open market ? The high - security classifications of national intelligence estimates are not there to protect sources (no sources are ever mentioned in them), but to hide the incompetence and lack of serious effort that goes into producing them".
CIA så gennem fingrene med en leverance på 10000 rifler til FARC, gennem Sarkis Soghanalian og Vladimiro Montesinos. Den sidste i CIAs tjeneste i det meste af 30 år.

Alligevel skete det - af alle steder i Senatets udenrigsudvalg - under høringen i forbindelse med John Boltons udnævnelse til FN ambassadør. Udvalgsformand Richard Lugar, R. og John Kerry, D, røbede mr Smith's identitet.

Bortførelsen skulle så handle om, at bringe ham tilbage i folden.

Der foreligger en skala på 6 trin, hvor overgang fra det ene til det næste godkendelse oppefra. Det foregår på de samarbejdscentre CIA opretholder rundt om i verden fra Asien til Østeuropa. (Counter Terrorist Intelligence Center).
De seks trin: 1. at man tager offeret i skjorten og ryster ham, 2. at man slår med åben hånd for at det skal gøre ondt og gøre offeret bange, 3. at man slå offeret i maven med åben hånd igen for at give maksimal smerte, men ikke indre skader, 4. lade offeret stå stille lænket på hænder og fødder i mere en 40 timer. Udmatning og forhindring af søvn. 5. at lade offeret stå nøgen i en celle ved 2 grader og med regelmæssig overbrusning med koldt vand. 6. "water boarding". Offeret bindes til en planke med fødderne lidt højere oppe end hovedet. Der lægges cellofan over hovedet og hældes vand over, så offeret føler, at det druknes.
Denne officielle beskrivelse er udført for at komme uden om betegnelsen tortur - men også grusom, umenneskelig og nedværdigende behandling af fanger er forbudt i h.t. torturkonventionen - netop fordi man forudså denne sproglige opfindsomhed ! Derudover, er det at få offeret til at tro, at det bliver dræbt "mock execution" uanset, hvordan det gennemføres, ulovligt efter international ret.
Det er velkendt, at tortur i alle dens afskygninger giver ubrugelige tilståelser - ubrugelige, fordi man ikke ved om de er sande. [Når CIA/USA stadig anvender tortur alligevel, er det fordi den spræder rædsel, OJ].
181105, Washington Post, Dana Priest, "Foreign network at front of CIA's terror fight". Over 20 lande har hemmelige Counterterrorist Intelligence Centers, som betales af CIA og udrustes med alt moderne udstyr. Nogle af de 20 lande, f.eks. Uzbekistan og Indonesien står på udenrigsministeriets liste med menneskerettighedsproblemer. Mere end 3000 "terrorister" er taget, alle i et samarbejde med udenlandske tjenester - "The boot that went through the door was foreign." Frankrig har et multinationalt center. CTICer ligger ikke sammen med de "sorte huller", hvor "terroristerne" forsvinder. CTIC systemet indførtes af George Tenet.

It has sponsored wars in Africa and Central America that have cost hundreds of thousands of lives. And it is still engaged in all these activities today. Despite this it has facilities in Britain and its agents mix freely with members of the British security services.
The organisation in question is the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)."

Han understreger også, at Michael Hayden har førstehåndskendskab til loven og hidtidig praksis. "As I noted in an earlier article, Adm. Bobby Ray Inman, NSA director (1977-81), who over a long career has earned wide respect from Republicans and Democrats alike, recently leveled pointed criticism at the new administration program. Inman stressed, "There clearly was a line in the FISA statutes which says you couldn't do this." He also pointed to an "extra sentence put in the bill, which said, 'You can't do anything that is not authorized by this bill.'" He added that we should get away from the idea that the program can continue."...."Why should it be such an enormous personal decision whether or not to obey a White House order? No one asked Hayden, but it requires no particular acuity to figure it out. This is a military officer who had indoctrinated NSA employees with what used to be known as NSA's "First Commandment" - Thou Shalt Not Eavesdrop on US Citizens; an officer who, like the rest of us, had sworn to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; a military man well aware one must never obey an unlawful order."...
"[T]he Truth-Telling Coalition initial appeal issued on September 9,2004, was very direct: "We know how misplaced loyalty to bosses, agencies, and careers can obscure the higher allegiance all government officials owe the Constitution, the sovereign public, and the young men and women put in harm's way. We urge you to act on those higher loyalties.""...

Los Angeles Times brugte 17 reportere og 20.000 ord over 3 dage til at imødegå afsløringerne. Efter 9 måneder følte Mercury News chefredaktør sig presset til at skrive et halvvejs undskyldende brev til sine læsere. I mellemtiden foretog CIA en intern undersøgelse og man bekræftede i marts 1998 at man i mere end 10 år havde dækket over Contraernes stofhandel. Webb begik selvmord inden.

Det havde hele tiden været hans forsvar, at CIA hele tiden havde vist besked om hans våbenhandler med Libyen.

In April, Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell was poised to publicize a year-long examination of outsourcing by U.S. intelligence agencies. But the report was inexplicably delayed... Private companies now perform key intelligence-agency functions, to the tune, I'm told, of more than $42 billion a year....These firms recruit spies, create non-official cover identities and control the movements of CIA case officers. They also provide case officers and watch officers at crisis centers and regional desk officers who control clandestine operations worldwide. ...Intelligence insiders say that entire branches of the NCS have been outsourced to private industry. These branches are still managed by U.S. government employees ("blue badgers") who are accountable to the agency's chain of command...Today, when Booz Allen Hamilton loses a contract to SAIC, people rush from one to the other in a game of musical chairs, with not enough chairs for all the workers who possess both the highest security clearances and expertise in the art of espionage. Some inevitably lose out. Any good courterintelligence officer knows what can happen next. Down-on-their-luck spies begin to do what spies do best: spy. Other companies offer them jobs in exchange for industry secrets. Foreign governments approach them."

About 100 pages of this part have been deleted. It deals with actions that were not authorized by any law, plots to assassinate other leaders, experiments with drugs on human beings to control their minds, spying on civil activists and journalists, among other similar activities that were expressly prohibited...Kissinger himself warned that "blood would flow" if other actions were known, and he immediately added: "For example, that Robert Kennedy personally controlled the operation for the assassination of Fidel Castro". The President's brother was then Attorney General of the United States. He was later murdered as he was running for President in the 1968 elections...Oswald wanted to come through Cuba on his trip to the USSR. He had already been there before. Someone sent him to ask for a visa in our country's embassy in Mexico but nobody knew him there so he wasn't authorized. They rhey wanted to get us implicated in the conspiracy...The documents published now disclose information about the CIA-Mafia links for my assassination. Details are also revealed about Operation Chaos, carrying on from 1969 for at least seven years, for which the CIA created a special squadron with the mission to infiltrate pacifist groups and to investigate "the international activities of radicals and black militants". The Agency compiled more than 300,000 names of American citizens and organizations and extensive files on 7,200 persons...The declassification could also be an attempt at showing, in the early stages of the electoral process that the Democratic administrations were as bad, or worse, than Mr. Bush's.

Brent Wilkes... President's Intelligence Oversight Board.... did nothing... The board now in place is led by former Bush economic adviser Stephen Friedman. It includes Don Evans, a former commerce secretary and friend of the President, former Admiral David Jeremiah, and lawyer Arthur B. Culvahouse....From its inception the CIA has labored under two contradictory conceptions of what it was supposed to be doing, and no president ever succeeded in correcting or resolving this situation. Espionage and intelligence analysis seek to know the world as it is; covert action seeks to ehange the world, whether it understands it or not...The separation of the scholars of the research and analysis division from the spies of the clandestine service created two cultures within the intelligenee profession, he said, "separate, unequal, and contemptuous of each other." That critique remained true throughout the CIA's first 60 years...The United States is.. simply no good at espionage; its operatives never have enough linguistic and cultural knowledge of target countries to recruit spies effectively...the CIA sponsored literary magazines in Germany (Der Monat) and Britain (Encounter)..promoted abstract expressionism ... and secretly funded the publication and distribution of over two and a half million books and periodicals....The CIA has failed badly, and it would be an important step toward a restoration of the checks and balances within our political system simply to abolish it."

110110, Agence France Presse. CIA Planned to 'Rendition' Suspects in Germany: Report. The CIA had 25 agents in Germany after the September 11 attacks and planned to "rendition" illegally al-Qaeda suspects without informing the German govemment, Spiegel magazine reported Sunday.
'It was about grabbing people without the Germans knowing about it," the German weekly magazine cited an unnamed former CIA agent as saying. "We were planning stuff that was totally illegal." ... The claim follows a Vanity Fair magazine report that the US spy agency intended to "find, fix and finish" an al-Qaeda suspect in Hamburg, where several of those involved in the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States formed an Islamist cell.
Vanity Fair said that the CIA team was sent to assassinate Mamun Darkanzali, a Syrian-born German believed at the time to have known at least three of the hijackers, but in the end Washington pulled the plug.
In November, an Italian court convicted in absentia 23 US secret agents for the CIA's kidnapping of an Egyptian cleric in 2003, including the CIA's Milan station chief at the time, Robert Seldon Lady.
One of those convicted, Sabrina DeSousa, said after the trial that she "broke the law" but that everything she did was "approved back in Washington."
