CIA’s role in the attack upon America!

by William Cooper

Copyright 2001 Veritas News Service – Exclusive, September 29, 2001 -- The attacks upon the World Trade Center buildings and the Pentagon may have a much more sinister origin than anyone is ready to explore or even consider.

The material in this article is taken verbatim from the discussions and reference material provided by the attendees of a recent conference on intelligence that included high level United States government officials, intelligence executives, and intelligence officers from all branches, military and civilian, of the intelligence community of the United States of America. What emerges is disturbing. Some will find this information terrifying.

Were John Deutch and David Cohen Israeli spies? Was the CIA under DCI John Deutch serving the nation of Israel instead of the interest of the United States? Did the CIA create, train, and back the terrorist groups that we say we are now at war against? Did the CIA ignore the prohibition against assassinations by recruiting, training, and backing Middle Eastern terrorist groups that were sent to assassinate Muslim and Islamic leaders who were in opposition to the Middle Eastern meddling of the CIA? Are the policies and covert actions of the Central Intelligence Agency directly responsible for most of the hatred that is directed against the United States by the People of the Middle East? Some of the answers may be found in the direct quotes and reference material that follows. Be prepared to be deeply affected by what you are about to read. The identities of those quoted have been omitted for obvious reasons.

“Biographic Information on John Deutch indicates he was a protege of Mr. Covert Action, Colonel Lansdale. He is living up to his mentor's legacy by sponsoring paramilitary operations -- aimed at three countries -- Iraq, Libya and now the Sudan. Paramilitary operations arm civilians to kill people in target countries who oppose their goals.”

“The new DCI Deutch's father, Michael Deutch, was a Russian of Jewish extraction. In 51, he went on a presidential mission as an economic adviser and became impressed with Colonel Lansdale - and became a lifelong friend of the Colonel. in 61 Lansdale recruited John Deutch for his first gvt job. at 22, he became one of Macnamara's whiz kids at the Pentagon. John spent four years in systems analysis. he later held political posts in democratic adms and went back to academic and advisory posts in republican times. he was on president Reagan's commission on nuclear strategy, Bush's foreign intelligence advisory board and six other similar panels. He became rich. the CIA he says ‘is an org suffering because it's had tremendous criticism because of its own mistakes,’ it does not want to admit. new york times mag 12/10/95 passim. The CIA, of course, is also active against Iran and probably backs the Taliban in Afghanistan.”

“Covert ops as practiced by Deutch seems to be an approach that says full speed ahead -- damn the consequences. I am surprised that he is a covert cowboy rather than the reflective intellectual we were told about.”

“One quite serious problem we see with Deutch is his use of the CIA's intelligence function to justify preconceived plans for operations. This, of course, has been the role of CIA's intelligence historically, but he does it in the most blatant fashion.”

“re the Taliban movement in Afghanistan. I agree that point A -- CIA/ISI support to fundamentalists in Afghanistan during the eighties to point B (CIA support now)”

“I have speculated here and other places why Deutch appointed David Cohen to the CIA's most sensitive and important position, second to Deutch's. Deutch named David Cohen to be the Director of Operations -- that element of the CIA that both collects intelligence and runs covert operations. David Cohen is on record by even a CIA internal investigation of gross manipulation of intelligence to support policy -- this man should have been fired by Deutch, but instead he promotes him - why?”

“Deutch apparently wanted a man after his own heart -- one who would give him the ‘intelligence’ he needed as he initiated his paramilitary operations against the various countries of the Middle East and Africa. Deutch is on record many times saying he wanted more covert operations and he is getting them -- supported by contrived intelligence.

“To me Cohen's elevation proves my contention that the CIA exists to support policy and that its intelligence in all cases related to policy is manipulated to support those policies. Below are severely limited entries in CIABASE re Paramilitary operations.

“re the CIA's War on Islam, I stated paramilitary operations arm civilians to kill those opposed to our policies -- the below clips prove that statement.

“I also claimed that paramilitary operations massively contributed to drug trafficking -- the material from McCoy's books, posted earlier, documents this phenomenon. Many other sources exist but his is the clearest and most comprehensive. For the skeptics, I suggest the book by a former DEA officer Celerino Castillo III, POWDERBURNS, COCAINE, CONTRAS, AND THE DRUG WAR.

“Lastly, I claim that paramilitary operations in Afghanistan in the eighties, created the "International Terrorist," movement that now justifies the existence of the CIA. The former factor is admitted by even Administration spokesmen as we sponsor more Islamic radical fundamentalists and others in the Middle East and Africa. The CIA continues to build the force that it will use to justify its future. The Past is Prologue.”

“Historically, major CIA paramilitary operations produced massive increases in drug trafficking. We can, therefore, anticipate the CIA's again looking the other way as narcotics produced by their assets flood world markets. (Mr. Deutch also earlier was the Pentagon's point man in denying the Gulf War Syndrome.)”

“NSC and CIA project language uses all sorts of euphemisms for killing and other actions that are part of covert ops. I feel that stating things directly may help change the minds of those in this conference; and, if such language were ever used in practice by the NSC and CIA, you probably would have a lot of officials who would refuse to sign on.”

House select committee on intel had recommended an increase and praised deutch's reform efforts. Committee's recommended increase was explicitly earmarked for fighting terrorism, nuclear proliferation, drug smuggling and "rogue nations" iraq, iran, libya and north korea.

· 95 dci deutch appointed last month a 30-year agency veteran david cohen to the politically-sensitive post of deputy director of operations (ddo) where he will oversee ops. Deutch was given good marks by the press for picking "an agency man" and for putting an "analyst" rather than a "covert operator" in charge of the "dirty tricks" directorate. Cohen will be working with four associate deputy directors: u.s. army general david barrato (who will continue as head of covert actions), david edger (intel ops), paul redmond (counter-intel) and christine wiley (personnel). That gen. Barrato has kept his job is to be a clear indication that deutch is not going to "scrub down" cia dirty tricks, to maintain and reinforce cia-pentagon ties, and to "box in" cohen at his new post. Redmond is a "forced" appointment since he was instrumental in pursuing the aldrich ames case as a senior official of the cia counter-intel center, and the cia has had to acquiesce to fbi demands for a larger role in counter-intel in the cia.

· 95 dci deutch filled one of most politically sensitive posts in u.s. intel community, naming david cohen, a 53-year-old career cia official, to head agency's clandestine espionage arm. Cohen's appointment as cia's deputy director of ops is a modest break with tradition, since he has spent most of his career on analytical, rather than clandestine, side of cia. cohen is a boston native who joined cia in 1966. He put in a stint in clandestine ops earlier in his career but most recently has been serving as cia's associate deputy director for directorate of intel. Turnover in management ranks at cia gave deutch a chance to put his own people in almost every top position. Deutch said john gannon would take over as head of intel directorate. With a ph.d. in history, gannon has been director of cia's office of european analysis. Deutch went outside agency to fill top spot at cia's science and technology arm, naming ruth david, director of advanced info technologies at sandia national laboratory in albuquerque, n.m. he also named leo hazlewood, formerly cia's executive director, to be deputy director for adm.

· 95 rear admiral dennis blair is right where spies and military cross each other's tracks. With stronger ties developing between pentagon and cia under dci deutch, blair has been nominated by deutch to make sure the intel community gives maximum support to "warfighters." When at the pentagon as deputy defense secretary, deutch had noticed blair as a leading navy proponent of creating greater awareness of the battlefield. A 25 percent reduction in intel resources had already eliminated "a lot of shops that were looking at the same thing" in intel and now objective is to "do more with same rather than eliminate redundancies." Blair graduated from the u.s. naval academy and attended oxford university as a rhodes scholar. He has served as a white house fellow and a chief of naval operations fellow in the strategic studies group. Clinton, who was a fellow rhodes scholar at oxford with blair, has nominated blair to serve at cia in the grade of vice admiral.

· 95 with nomination of john m. Deutch, cia is about to get, by accident, just what it has wanted for past two years -- a forceful and well-connected director who can represent its interests at high levels of adm just when long-term future of intel community is questioned. Deutch is an old friend of woolsey's. They worked on national security issues in carter adm, and both are friends and proteges of brent scowcroft, who was bush's national security adviser. In 1983, scowcroft headed an 11-member commission on u.s. strategic forces, its democratic members included woolsey, deutch and william j. Perry. Before serving in clinton adm, deutch, 56, spent most of his life at intersection of science, academia and government. He has a doctorate in chemistry and has taught at princeton university and mit. In 1990, while serving as mit's provost, deutch wanted to become university president. But he lost out after faculty critics complained that he was a symbol of a too-cozy relationship between mit and gvt. Since 60s, deutch has served as a consultant to every administration except nixon's. In 1990, bush appointed him to president's foreign intel advisory board. Los angeles times 3/12/95 a24

· 95 with the quick retirement of hugh e. "ted" price, cia director of ops and the most senior official reprimanded in the aldrich h. Ames case, john j. "jack" devine moved up to take his place. The cia has not released an official biography of devine, who was born on 14 november 1940 in pennsylvania, but it is known that devine was ames' station chief while the latter worked in rome and spied for the russians, a fact that may not endear devine to new cia director john deutch. Devine received a bachelor's degree at west chester state college in 1962 and a master's degree at villanova university in 1964. From 1962 to 1967 he was a high school teacher. As a cia officer he was posted to santiago, chile, in 1971 and apparently was still there in 1973. On 11 september 1973, gen. Augusto pinochet overthrew the elected government of salvador allende and gave "carte blanche" to manuel contreras, head of the dina, to eliminate the regime's adversaries. It is quite likely devine knew pinochet and contreras who has just been condemned by the chile supreme court for the assassination of former chilean minister, orlando letelier, in washington in 9/76.

· 96 traditional methods by the nation's intel agencies are not enough to stave off attacks by terrorists or hackers on vital u.s. computer systems, per dci deutch. Testifying before a senate panel he called for gvt to establish "deep cooperation" with high-tech industry to protect the nation's info infrastructure. Deutch said a growing dependence worldwide on telecommunications and computer networks has fostered with it a vulnerability to attacks that could in essence cripple the backbone of the nation's communications infrastructure. Deutch said that u.s. defenses have not caught up to the rapid growth of computer technology that has presented a new range of security concerns to counter. International terrorist groups clearly have the capability to attack info infrastructure of the u.s. successful attacks against communications systems through the internet, require more than basic computer literacy. Terrorist groups are increasingly using internet for communications. Foreign organized crime is behind some of the many intrusions committed by hackers on u.s. banks and telecommunications companies. The intel community has taken measures to estimate both intent and capabilities of foreign entities to attack u.s. commo targets. An inter-agency critical infrastructure security group, made up of the cia, the pentagon and the fbi, established to identify vulnerability in the domestic infrastructure.

But on 12/8 deutch took a very big step toward rigging the balance in favor of the pentagon by issuing a 19-page report concerning the 95 kgb "handouts" which ended up as "blue border" top secret intelligence reports given to the president and high government officials despite pentagon declarations that such single source reports did not influence major defense decisions which are based on multiple source analyses, deutch's report maintains consequences were "enormous" and caused pentagon to step up spending by hundreds of millions of dollars. This is patently false since reagan and dci casey would have upped defense spending even if cia intel recommended the opposite. Casey's use of cia to fabricate the "bulgarian connection" in the assassination attempt against john paul ii and to portray kgb as mastermind of world terrorism are perfect examples of this policy.

· 96 release of report of commission on roles and capabilities of u.s. intel community and earlier release of council on foreign relations (cfr) report, "making intel smarter," reveals that cia arises anew and strengthened after each disaster because it is covert action arm of corporate america, not an intel agency. Multinationals since world war two have been building a world order and use cia as a tool for maintaining hegemony of u.s. and transnational elite. This is its purpose and its "intel" is only an excuse for its covert ops.

Earlier cfr report called for allowing cia to use media, clergy and peace corps for cover and to re-empower cia to conduct ops that might involve assassinations of foreign leaders.

Danilo blandon, a former nicaraguan gvt official, was conduit for thousands of kilos of cocaine that flowed to the los angeles street gangs between 1982 and 1986. Blandon, who pleaded guilty to cocaine trafficking charges in 1992 and went to work for dea as an informant, recently testified in federal court that he sold the cocaine in the city's black neighborhoods as a way to raise money for the guerrilla army. His biggest customer was a drug kingpin, rick "freeway" ross, who turned the drugs into crack. Ross is now in jail, set up by blandon in a 1994 drug bust. Deutch, said a 1988 cia study presented to intel committees concluded cia "neither participated in nor condoned drug trafficking by contra forces." San jose mercury news 9/13/96

· colombia, 95 dci deutch flew to cali on monday to observe a massive police and army manhunt for the cali cartel drug lord who escaped from prison last week. Cali, capital of guerrilla-infested valle del cauca province and headquarters of the notorious drug cartel, is one of the focal points of the nationwide hunt for jose santacruz londono, the cartel kingpin who escaped in broad daylight from a maximum-security prison in bogota on thursday. Deutch was to return to bogota for talks with president ernesto samper. Visit comes four days after u.s.-colombia ties took a turn for the worse following the escape of santacruz, who is wanted on drug and murder charges in the us. The escape, prompted immediate demands by the state department and dea for the revival of a u.s.-colombian extradition treatyscrapped in 1991 after the late medellin cartel drug lord pablo escobar waged a campaign of assassinations and bombings against it. The u.s. embassy warned that washington could decertify colombia as a partner in the anti-drug fight when certification comes up for renewal in march. decertification would strip colombia of important economic aid and trade preferences.

Deutch appeared to be retreating from previously stated community interests in collecting intel regarding commercial practices of private non-u.s. industry that competes with u.s. firms. James woolsey, previous dci, had said the community collected intel on private firms so that it could assess corrupt business practices. "what we are not going to do is undertake espionage for the sake of commercial advantage of specific u.s. industries or firms," deutch said. However, "users" of intel such as treasury department, national economic council, u.s. trade representative and commerce department will still receive info from the intel community to meet their specific requests. Deutch said he expects to rely heavily on experts outside community for their analysis of international economic trends, along with existing open source data. clandestine collection of economic data would only occur in rare cases where info is not otherwise available.

· france, 95 another anti-u.s. spy flap back-fires. Someone at french dst counterespionage is going to be called on the carpet for the recent frontpage scare story by jean-francois jacquier and marc nexon in "l'expansion" on a supposedly coordinated a.s. economic intel attack against france and french businesses. By trying to scare small french businesses into waking up to the dangers of economic intel -- by brandishing u.s. cabal involving president bill clinton, cia director john deutch, and kroll associates founder jules kroll, and "open source intelligence guru" robert d. Steele, a high official at dst forgot one of the basic precepts of business intel. There is real economic competition, and therefore economic espionage, taking place between the u.s., france, germany, japan, and many other countries. However, the tone and style of the "l'expansion" article show that it is addressed to credulous clients who don't bother to check the facts. These are usually not directors of companies working on the cutting edge of technological developments. contrary to "l'expansion"'s statement that steele has been discouraged from coming to france by unnamed "french authorities," mr. Steele told "intelligence" that: "i was invited to france by mr. Francois leotard, defense minister, with the explicit approval of prime minister balladur, in order to join admiral pierre lacoste, general jean heinrich, and general jeannou lacaze [all current or former directors of french intelligence services] in speaking to a very select group of 300 french leaders from government, industry, and academia on 10/23/93. We spoke about the need to reinvent intel and significantly increase reliance on open sources. presentations that these distinguished flag officers and i made have been published in a book [edited by pierre pascallon mp] called "defence et renseignement." Larger french companies, do not take this threat seriously because they can "hold their own" or are even superior to u.s. companies at the business of industrial espionage. Ariane, airbus, the tgv train and many other french industrial achievements prove this. Also, secret, "pre-competitive" franco-american cooperation in military technology is probably at an all-time high.

· france, 93-95 downplayed by cia, paris incident has wide impact. Five americans -- four of them cia officers -- accused by france in february of conducting an economic espionage op against french gvt. Affair briefly made headlines, then faded. Now, u.s. officials acknowledge that episode has had far graver consequences. Bungled op forced cia to suspend virtually all its ops in france earlier this year. Suspension, ordered by cia hqs apparently left the agency without a significant presence in one of the world's most important hubs for espionage in the post- cold war world. A cia source said a state department official warned an agency case officer in paris not even to conduct clandestine ops against non-french targets inside france. Paris fiasco may have had a chilling effect on cia's ability to conduct spying ops elsewhere in western europe. Episode so angered french that they may have shared info about cia's economic espionage ops with other european intel services, including those in germany and italy. Incident has prompted an investigation by cia's inspector general, fred hitz, who is trying to determine whether agency officials failed to properly notify ambassador harriman. Hitz is also trying to ascertain whether carelessness by cia agents was responsible for op's exposure -- what the cia calls in spy jargon "poor trade-craft." Hitz investigation is expected to be completed by the end of year. Case has frustrated senior lawmakers on capitol hill, some of whom complain cia once again failed to keep congress adequately informed. "they didn't tell us anything before op blew," said one member of senate select committee on intel. "they only told us about this at time that it was hitting the papers." This is the latest skirmish in an economic spy war that has been under way between the united states and france for years. U.s. officials accuse the french intel service of repeatedly conducting clandestine ops to pry industrial secrets out of u.s. corporations, angering both the cia and the fbi. In french op, the cia was, in effect, spying for hollywood: at least part of the mission was reportedly designed to determine strength of the french bargaining position in television and telecommunications trade negotiations. U.s. was opposed to french demands to restrict imports of u.s. television programming into europe. Op was blown when french uncovered one of spies, a part-time contract employee with cia. French then trailed her, eventually connecting her with four cia case officers, who were operating under diplomatic cover out of u.s. embassy in paris. Spy whose cover was first blown had had problems in previous ops, cia hqs had been reluctant to use her again. But the paris station chief decided to let her participate anyway. It remains unclear whether the cia has resumed its paris ops. Cia has named a replacement for former paris station chief dick holm, sources could not say whether new chief has arrived in france. Potential for spy wars among allies in the post-cold war era seems to be generating friction in europe. new republic magazine said dci deutch was warned during a summer trip to bonn that german officials would fight cia efforts to engage in economic espionage inside their country. They also demanded that the cia scale back its staff in germany. Deutch also traveled to paris this summer in an effort to smooth relations with both france and harriman.

· 53-96 cia publicly pledged in 93 to release its files on its most important covert actions of the cold war coups in iran and guatemala, and the bay of pigs fiasco. The promise is unfulfilled. A panel of outside experts hired by cia cites "a clash of cultures" pitting cold warriors against open-minded historians. Another factor may be that agency has devoted only three ten-thousandths of its budget and seven full-time employees to task of making docs public. A stack of secret files taller than 50 washington monuments awaits them. Cia blames oliver stone because stone's 91 movie, "jfk," provoked congress to establish a jfk records law in 92 that ordered files on the assassination to be made public.

In 1995, deutch said he was shocked by the (do) director of operations's "inability to formulate solutions." They do did not have the desire or ability to reinvent itself.

Tainted info concealed "the extent of decline in soviet and russian military technology and procurement programs." Overall effect was to sustain our view of the soviet union as a credible military and technological opponent. During the disinformation campaign, the warsaw pact was collapsing and communist regimes of eastern europe falling apart - while cia was telling congress u..s had to remain strong. Also in 89-90, bush adm was skeptical about gorbachev's plans toreduce tensions. Deutch said, tainted intel "had a substantial role in framing the debate re the ussr." An earlier related report showed moscow used ames info to establish a disinfo campaign that fed tainted data from moscow-controlled agents. Chairman of the senate intel committee, senator arlen specter, said "as a result of inadequate record keeping in the cia..." Only half of some 900 particularly significant 85-94 intel reports, were reviewed. A "disturbing high percentage" of agents supplying the reports were controlled by the kgb and its successor the srv.

· vietnam. Cia's inabilities are legend. My primary experience -- an indication of its overall problems -- was the 1968 tet offensive in vietnam. To me this, in history of world, is its most egregious intel failure. Cia had a 600-person station with officers stationed throughout provinces. Cia via unilateral, military and liaison programs had literally tens of thousands of individuals gathering intel. U.s. programs surrounded, and were surrounded by, the enemy. Yet vc were able to infiltrate soldiers, weapons, ammunition, demolitions, and supplies of all types throughout vn and attacked every major city and town completely unanticipated by cia. even hours after start of offensive, cia's watch office recorded no new developments. Vietnam was by no means the only major intel disaster. Cia was one of last u.s. institutions to accept the collapse of ussr. Robert gates, ddi and later director of cia, travelled u.s. exhorting all not to be fooled by ussr's apparent collapse. Possibly he was deceived by cia's intel from known kgb double agents that cia distributed to presidents and other policymakers. List of cia intel failures is massive. A list of slanted intel in support policy is even longer. Just completed examination of cia by commission on roles and capabilities of u.s. intel community took note of part of problem and said: there is ``arrogance, parochialism, disdain for oversight, lack of diversity, and tolerance of inadequate professional performance'' in cia's directorate of ops (do).

Apparently, nro officials are even deployed with u.s. troops in bosnia to furnish even faster imagery intelligence and help in photointerpretation. But at the same time, imagery intel is undergoing a major transformation from overreliance on extremely expensive orbital systems, the nro's specialty, to less expensive and more rapidly responding drone systems. By literally being "in on the ground level" of this transformation, the nro may be guaranteeing its future as an imagery intel specialist.

· 96 dia and cia don't see eye to eye on threats. A month ago, cia director deutch delivered his "worldwide threat assessment" before the senate select committee on intel singling out china, india, pakistan, libya, iran and sudan. He also spoke about drug trafficking, but his message was remarkably different from that given on 1/16/96 to the house select intel committee. this looked like a concentrated effort to justify deutch's cabinet level status as dci, to keep cia in the money and to reserve an intel field that the pentagon won't take away from it in the near future. Deutch declared that: "the cia will be paying its closest attention to russia and china because these nations have the greatest military power for foreseeable future." We previously criticized this statement, noting that at pervomayskaya in chechnya a handful of chechen rebels held one of the world's supposedly "greatest military powers" at bay for days on end, and that the dia's recent analysis of china's "intimidating" 11/95 military maneuvers against taiwan showed that china can only land one division without calling on commercial ships and, in general, "poses little danger to potential foes." Deutch's speeches may be seen more as "a declaration of future american foreign policy," a presentation of cia goals and a justification for the cia budget instead of a real analysis of threats to the united states. Interpretation was corroborated by two military intel analyses of worldwide threats to the u.s. on 2/22/96 when dia director lieut. Gen. Patrick m. Hughes presented his "global military threats to the u.s. and its interests abroad" to the senate committee. Other corroborating analysis is a long "interview/briefing" of office of naval intelligence (oni) boss, rear admiral michael w. Cramer, published last month in "sea power." For adm. Cramer, "we certainly don't describe russia as threatening" although russia's navy is the only one in the world to have "capabilities" rivaling those of the u.s. navy. Russia, for example, "continues to build and deploy (...) Very capable, very quiet, stealthy submarines," but russian subs "do not target the u.s." intelligence - a computerized intelligence newsletter published in france 4/1/96 46z

· 95-96 commission on roles and capabilities of the u.s. intel community recommends expanded power for cia chief. The sprawling u.s. intel lacks direction and is too remote from policy-makers. It recommended expanding power of the cia director and stripping military of its authority to recruit spies. Commission established by congress spent a year studying intel community. Cia director deutch said he has asked people from different parts of the intel community to serve on a panel to study recommendations and report back within the next few weeks. ``there's going to have to be some major shifting around of people,'' rudman said to get right people to match missions of various intel agencies. 85 percent of intel community is beyond reach of the dci. Covert ops were defended as providing the president ``with an option short of military action when diplomacy alone cannot do the job.'' the panel took note of criticism of the ``arrogance, parochialism, disdain for oversight, lack of diversity, and tolerance of inadequate professional performance'' of the cia's directorate of operations (do). To overcome the isolation of the do, commission recommended that case officers be rotated through assignments in other directorates. Commission did not address issue of whether the cia should try to recruit journalists or clergy for spy missions or have its own agents identifying themselves as members of either profession. Deutch acknowledged last week that he has the authority to waive a ban on attempting to recruit journalists or clergy. Other recommendations include: to give the dci more time for management of the overall intel community, two new deputy cia directors should replace the current deputy. One would deal with the intel community overall; the other would concentrate on the day-to-day ops of the cia. To strengthen policy guidance, a committee on foreign intel should be created within the white house national security council and chaired by the president's national security adviser. A second nsc committee should be created to coordinate efforts against global crime. national intelligence council, which prepares intel estimates, should become a more broadly based national assessment center and be relocated outside the cia hqs.

Seven volume (700 pages) final report is the product of 17 investigators, in addition to support personnel, reviewing 56,000 pages of material and conducting interviews with 200 individuals. Report covers the following key areas: congressional notification; ambassadorial notification; selection of chief of stations; asset recruitment and validation; collection and reporting responsibility; human rights reporting analytical functions; and do records system and accountability. No evidence was found to indicate that any agency employee knowingly misled congressional oversight committees or deliberately decided to withhold intel. Dci deutch will issue new guidelines and take measures to keep congress informed. He will adopt ig's recommendation that each do and head of each independent office conduct a quarterly review. Review is to determine whether employees under their direction have reported to oversight committees. Ig found cos in guatemala did not keep ambassador properly informed. Dci will be updating the state dept./cia arrangement. the executive director will issue new standards for selecting the chief of stations. Ig found deficiencies in the reviewal processes for human assets. the ddo will improve the human asset validation process.

The general counsel was previously asked to look into procedures used for looking into assets who may have violated us law or engaged in human rights abuses. recommendation made by the ig on human rights abuses also urges a better reviewal process to determine if the human assets are involved with narcotics trafficking or terrorism. Dci agreed with the ig's recommendation for a better reviewal process but pointed out that the agency is sometimes forced to deal with individuals engaged in undesirable activities in order to gain valuable intel. The dci wants di analysts to have greater access to do operational traffic and other sensitive intel. The dci said he believed progress was being made but that much more could be done.

Warner (r-va.), Who said he wanted "a cooling off period" of careful study to fend off "slash and burn" measures advocated by some of his fellow lawmakers after revelation of various problems. Commission said handing off management of cia to a new deputy director, would give dci "greater freedom to choose where to devote his energy." New structure would formalize current ad hoc arrangement in which cia executive director nora slatkin runs cia on a day-to-day basis without confirmation by senate. commission concluded that patchwork of 14 separate intel agencies is functioning well. 17-member commission said its recommendations were guided by three themes: a perennial need to make intel-gathering more responsive to policymakers, a need to encourage more cooperation between agencies, and a need to instill more "modern management practices." It reported that personnel reductions begun in 1992 had "far from solved" a series of intel community problems brought about by fact that number of civilian personnel grew by nearly 50 percent in cold war decade from 1980 to 1990. The civilian work force at the nsa, cia, and dia was shrunk by 12 percent from 1990 to 1996, payrolls at these agencies increased by 26 percent. Payroll costs have not only crowded out investment in new technologies, but also constrained hiring of new employees needed to face new intel challenges. solution is to reduce civilian employment levels by more than 10 percent below those reductions now mandated by congress and allow for one-time payouts and other waivers of employment rules so that less relevant jobs can be let go.

· 95 corona symposium, 95 dwayne day of the space policy institute at george washington u. Has been instrumental in setting symposium on the first u.s. photoreconnaissance satellites. Co-sponsored by gwu and the cia's center for the study for intel, it brought together many of the people responsible for the corona/kh-4 spysat program. Degree of openness displayed by the speakers remarkable. Csi produced a collection of declassified documents and pictures relating to the creation of the corona program and use of the photographs taken by the satellites. These also served as a vehicle for the outing of the former codeword ruff and the name of the satellite photography compartmentation channel "talent-keyhole." 18 new photos released at symposium are much more interesting than initial four released earlier -- the n-1 pads at tyuratam, missile sites in the fsu, and the chinese nuclear test site a few days after a test are among them. Corona program, 12 years and more than 100 flights. Dci john deutch, explained his concept for a unified national imagery agency: it's to incorporate all requirements-generation, imagery interpretation, and product distribution. Nro continues to exist as the designer-to-requirements and builder of spysats, but nia controls the money. A high-priority use of the corona product was to identify and locate targets for the new icbm and slbm forces. Apparently geodesy at the time was in a very primitive state, and the relative location of points on different continents could be off by miles. Because there was no phd program in the us at the time, dod and cia helped set one up at up a ohio state using european faculty. Email 5/25/95 thomsona net.com.com

· 95-96 "tremendous growth in terrorism" to keep cia afloat. Dci deutch's 1/16/96 testimony to the house select intel committee was a concentrated effort to justify deutch's cabinet level status as dci, "director of central intel," to flash up "buzz words" to keep cia in money and to reserve an intel field that pentagon won't take away from it. Cia has already lost special ops and human intel (humint) ops to department of defense, and is in process of losing imagery intel (imint). In bosnia, cia has clearly stated it is concentrating on "longer term" intel topics and analysis, leaving "counting the guns and troops" to the pentagon's dia and imint. But this orientation contradicts deutch's speech which declares that: "the cia will be paying its closest attention to developments in russia and china because these nations have the greatest military power for the foreseeable future." Wrong again! Cia has either missed boat again or is talking though its hat. Re russia and china. U.s. intel experts -- and hopefully members of house select intel committee -- know that cia will not be "paying its closest attention" to military developments in china and russia and shouldn't justify its budget on that basis. That's where the "buzz words" terrorism, drug trafficking, weapons smuggling, organized crime and religious fanaticism come in, and the traditional "bogeymen": iran, iraq, north korea and libya.

· 96 dci deutch announced last month that he was boosting number of case officers sent abroad, putting more foreigners on his payroll as spies and giving the president more possibilities for covert action. "we want to increase options to act against terrorist groups directly, either to prevent them from carrying out ops or to retaliate against groups we know are responsible" for guerrilla attacks on u.s. interests, he said in 9/5/96 speech at georgetown u. Preparations for more u.s. covert action followed suicide bombings in israel in early 96 and two blasts in saudi arabia in the past year; and the mysterious destruction of twa flight 800. Deutch first raised issue in 1994, he said clinton's budget for counter-terrorist human intel -- as distinct from spying through satellites and other technical means -- had been sharply increased. "these investments have paid off." The cia has substantially increased the number of new sources reporting to us about terrorist groups. The gain in the past 18 months far exceeds previous achievements." Deutch identified the chief threats as the pro-iranian hizballah; hamas, the palestinian group; and egypt's islamic group. Robert gates, who headed the cia from 11/91 until 1/93, cited bipartisan backing for potential contribution of covert action in dealing with such threats as terrorism, global organized crime, narcotics cartels and curbing the spread of nuclear weapons. Stanley bedlington, who retired in 1994 as senior analyst at the counterterrorist center at cia hqs, said covert action was tough because guerrilla groups seemed to operate like a "floating crap game," without clear support of five alleged middle east state sponsors: iran, iraq, libya, syria and sudan.

Intel support for force protection expanded for military facilities such as support teams. There are seven such teams assisting u.s. military in balkans and in saudi arabia. More options will be given to president to preempt and disrupt and defeat any known terrorist plans.

Gates ordered a paper analyzing terrorism assessing the soviet role - paper titled "agca's attempt to kill the pope: the case for soviet involvement." Paper circulated widely inside cia and elicited a very negative reaction. Anne armstrong sent the dci a memo critical of the handling of the "papal plot." Gates commissioned an independent review. The paper on the assassination attempt was published in 5/85 -- we never did get additional info from cia sources, even after the collapse of the ussr. Ciabase comment the "cowey report," was a critical analysis of cia's april 85 report outlining soviet involvement in pope's assassination. Cia analysts noted calling paper the case for soviet involvement and marshalling evidence only for that side stacked the deck.
