No, they are feeding their allies in the left wing press. The CIA is still full of carterites and clintonoids, and the new director appears to have given up on it. Or maybe Bush likes it this way, who knows? He has done nothing to punish the leakers of sensitive information in a time of war.
The Left Wing press is more interested in perusing the CIA files of the JFK era than the KGB files of the Soviet influence in the US during the Cold War.
Makes the “Red Scare” seem like it wasn’t the fraud that the Leftist intellectuals have tried claiming it was.
Agree. Hayden is turning out to be a wimp and that is very bad. Same for the caving in by some at NSA.
The National Security Archives was started by a a bunch of far-leftists and communist sympathizers. They are not friends of national security. Their goals are no honorable.
Re CIA and US surveillance. When I was an undercover operative/informant in 1968-1969, our “peace” groups had contacts with Soviet front operations including the World Peace Council and its British branch (Peggy Duff), and the Japanese Gensuiyken (Congress against the A & H Bombs).
The CIA had every right to follow these KGB-funded and aided groups in the US, though technically the FBI tookover surveillance once they landed in the U.S.
Other so-called “peace activists” had extensive contacts with Soviet KGB, Cuban DGI/KGB, Czech STB, and other Soviet block intellligence groups/fronts, as well as with Hanoi, Red China, and No. Korea.
This is what the CIA was doing in terms of “surveillance” of U.S. citizens (i.e. traitors).
More on this in the future.
