Making excuses for Intel criminality

It describes Kissinger as having.a “passion
for secrecy” and as" trying “to control
dissemination and analysis of data.”
In sum, the excerpts of the House panel’s
report describe the American intelligence
community as often inept, not out of control
(as has often been charged), anti as
frequently considering itself beyond the laws
of the land.
For instance, then-president Johnson in •
1967 blocked the CIA from offering further
covert assistance to educational or other
private voluntary institutions, after
disclosures that the CIA had been sneaking
money to the National Students Association

The Village Voice excerpts
quote CIA deputy director
Carl Duckett as testifying that
the CIA still maintains covert
contracts with “a small
number of universities.”
The report talks of most of
the CIA’s covert activities as
haphazard and in effect
lacking any master plan
saying that “the overall
picture . . . does not support
the contention that covert
action has been used in fur-
therance of any particular
principle, form of govern-
ment, or identifiable national
interest.”
“Instead,” the report
continues, “the record in-
dicates a general lack of a
long-term direction in U.S.
foreign policy. Covert actions,
as the means for im-
plementing a policy, reflected
this Band-aid approach,
substituting short-term
remedies for problems which
required long-term cures.”
Yet at another point the
f report claims that “all
•- evidence m hand suggests that
the CIA, far from being out of
» control, has been highly
responsive to the instructions
; of the President and the
y assistant to the President for
national security affairs.”
g What is absent, the report
g suggests, is any kind of con-
s' trols on the CIA and its fellow
intelligence-gathering
agencies.
The report makes much of
the fact that the intelligence
community has never been
frank about how much it
spends, which the committee
j claims is “at' Least three to
four times . the amount
reported to Congress.”
That means it all costs about

report, with almost no con-
trols, no checks, no balances
. As a result, says the com-
mittee, the CIA has been able
to do some unusual things with
the taxpayers’ money, in-
cluding developing “a huge
arsenal of weapons and access
to ammunition . . . giving it a
capability that exceeds most
armies of the world,” having
put at least $75 million into
Italian politics, and serving in
effect as a discount shopper
for some foreign officials. "
