Mirror of opinion
Ford and the "CIA
President Ford has given two rea-
sons - one disingenuous and the other
irrelevant - for justifying the subver-
sive activities of the CIA in Chile.
Disingenuously, the President
suggests the CIA money was given to
opposition parties and newspapers
because they were threatened by
Allende's government. Yet opposition
parties and newspapers, having
flourished under Allende, dis-
appeared under the military junta
which followed. His second reason is
even more lame - that Communist
nations do it, so why- shouldn't the
U.S.
The purported reason for attempt-
ing to isolate Cuba has been because
of Castro's support for subversion
overseas. Now the U.S. has been
caught in the same act, on a much
grander scale, and against a demo- -
cratically elected government. - The
