Now this document from 1996 is a transcript of a hearing of the Select Committee of Intelligence of the US Senate on HOW THE CIA USE JOURNALISTS, PEACE CORPS AND CLERGYMAN in their intelligence operations. Essentially the PEACE CORPS = CIA.
First we can now surmise that the policy established in 1977 was either a) complete bs or b) was changed sometime between 1977 - 1996, I'm sure we all know which it is though.
Important Quote from the then director of the CIA John M. Deutch:
"Further, as the committee knows, I have found no circumstances while I am Director of Central Intelligence, that have caused me to do either. But, Mr.Chairman, as the Director of Central Intel-ligence, I must be in a position to assure the President and the members of the National Security Council and this country, that there will never come a time when the United States cannot ask a witting citizen, knowledgeable citizen, to assist in combating an extreme threat to the Nation. So I, like all of my predecessors for the last 19 years, have arrived at the conclusion that the Agency should not be prohibited from considering the use of American jour-nalists or clergy in exceptional circumstances."
Also mentions of the council on foreign relations in here. Also many of the people are UNCOMFORTABLE discussing these topics in public and that comes up numerous times.
Interesting quotes here from Ted Koppel, ABC "Nightline" Anchor:
"Having said that, there are circumstances under which the Agency has,under what it perceives to be the greater national interest, broken American laws in the past, and I have no doubt that it will continue under such circumstances to do so in the future."
To which the chairman of the committee responds among other things and says:
"Mr. Koppel. With all due respect, sir, we also have precedent for the intelligence agencies of the United States routinely violating laws and simply assuming that they won't be held to account. All too frequently, I am afraid, they are quite right.
So I'm sure by now you are getting the gist of it. This garbage spouted by TOP figures in media and CIA and PEACE CORPS goes on for another 20 pages. Basically the idea is that CIA can break whatever they law they want under the guise of "intelligence collection" and matters of "national security" and that it's nearly impossible for the Senate Committee to find out about these things to even understand and process if those actions and laws were necessary to be broken. This is in 1996. NOW it's the INFORMATION AGE. And the breaking of the law can come into light when No Such Agency hears all and sees all.
