Approved For Release 2004/10/28 : CIA-RDP88-01314R000100360003-3 On the evening of Sept. 10, just prior to an overflow rally at the Felt Forum in New York on behalf of the restoration of human rights in Chile, I chatted with a dear friend and fellow humanist, Orlando Letelier, former Chilean ambassador to the United States and an opponent of the junta. He complained how on that very day the Chilean junta had withdrawn his Chilean citizenship. And, in response, I told hirn how such a .deprivation, coming from the junta, should. he considered as a great tribute to him. He simply smiled and nodded his head. We then chatted with mutual friends and I looked forward to accepting his invitation to visit him soon in Washington. Later that evening, at the close of his speech to the rally, Letelier emo- tionally but with the utmost sincerity declared: "Today is a dramatic day in my life in which action of the fascist generals against me makes me feel more Chilean than ever. "I was born a Chilean, I am a Chilean and I will die a Chilean. They, the fascists, were born traitors, live as traitors and will be remembered forever as fascist traitors." How logical then-if monsters can claim to use logic-for the junta to take the next step in eliminating what they considered dangerous opposition to their cruel and inhuman away with outside .-die instead of by the "on the spot" murders and "disappearances" which have been going on in that tragic country since Sept. 11, 1973. . If there is any forthrightness and "Founding Father" greatness in either of our present presidential candidates, I believe that now is the time for their platforms to include specific proposals for doing away with this monstrous terror that is spreading throughout all of Latin America. We now all know it was aided and abetted by deliberate acts of the Nixon administration and the CIA-an attitude that is still being supported covertly and overtly by the Ford administration, and many in the business world and the banking community. This growing cancer in the western hemisphere will surely destroy not only our Latin American brothers and sisters, but also our America-just as our policy in Vietnam came close to doing. Now is the time-now before our November election-for our next President to obtain his mandate from the American people to correct the evil that we have wrought; to state his intent to go before the United Nations and there openly acknowledge, with all the honesty that should characterize America, our government's part in stealing away the Chilean government from the Chilean people and our regime. Thus on Sept. 21, the Chilean anxiety to make amends and enable junta, acting through their secret restitution. police-DINA-murdered Orlando Letelier-just as they murdered Gen. Carlos Prats in Argentina and many others in Italy and elsewhere who were "graciously" allowed to leave Chile after months of torture and imprisonment. With the cynicism typical of their rule, they promptly denied any involvement in Letelier's murder. Moreover, with crocodile tears they even "lamented" the assassination of a man for whom they so recently issued a decree depriving him of his Chilean citizenship. Obviously, in their diabolic reasoning they feel they can more easily escape indictment for the deaths and disappearance of the former democratically elected leaders and members of the Popular Unity party if these individuals are done Our next President should also commit the United States to support- ing all possible U.N. sanctions, includ- ing the ouster of the present Chilean regime from that body, to bring about the regime's downfall; he should insist that this regime be succeeded by a caretaker body in the hands of the democratically elected Popular Unity party and that early elections be held under U.N. supervision and the constitutional laws that prevailed prior to the 1973 putsch, and he should pledge our willingness to help a democratic Chile recover from its present state of economic chaos. By taking such a stand, this country ^uld once again demonstrate to the iorld community of nations that -America is still capable of exercising the high ideals and purposes of demo- cracy upon which our nation was founded. In the hearts of his many admirers. in this country and Chile, Orlando Letelier has not died. In history, Letelier, his former president, Salvador Allende Gossens, and. the many Chilean heroes who worked and died with them to bring political and economic freedom to the Chilean people will live on forever. The mem- bers of the junta and those who assisted in establishing that junta must surely, soon we hope, share the fate of Hitler, Mussolini, and all their ilk. A.J. Rosenstein New Marlborough, MA About four years ago I worked with the Committee of Concerned Asian Scholars to write a pamphlet called The Opium Trail. In it, we accused the CIA of purposefully aiding the opium heroin trade in order to build the economic dependence of allied mercenary forces and tribal groupings in Laos. I talked personally with one ex-green Beret who said he delivered CIA gold to village chiefs and loaded opium on Air America planes and helicopters. He also said he later saw the same opium (village markings) on the Saigon market. I believe Alan Ginsberg has names of other G.Ls who had similar experiences. Around the time I was working on the pamphlet, I thought of starting an organization to research and expose the CIA. I am very happy to find you proceeding with much effectiveness. My best wishes.

It has not been the war of Vietnam, nor of Angola or,the Middle East. It has been a secret roar, and for the past eight years; one of Henry Kissinger's favorite .battlegames. Whether the new administration will have the sense or the courage or the strength to end this war remains ..to be seen. During the recent presidential campaign, the reality. was well hidden, and only glimpses of that secret ,war came into focus from time to time. But with the assassination of Orlando Letelier in Wash- ington, and the bombing in the Caribbean of a Cubana Airlines plane, the war escalated, and the tangled, convoluted ,web was exposed, interweaving the U.S. intelligence appara- tus; the right-wing Cuban expatriots--the gusanos, the `Chilean Junta, and the transnational forces of destabiliza- -tion. Caught in the web are the banished Chilean exiles, _the brave Cuban people, and progressive forces everywhere. People in power, have never given up their power without -a fight. As the age of capitalism gives way to the age of socialism, the struggle -heightens at points of transition. And social progress is not smooth; while there are victories in Vietnam and Angola, there are tragedies in Chile and Thai- land-. The United States is always involved. The sphere of North American counterrevolution is world-wide. As we demonstrate in this issue of CounterSpy, there is a special emphasis now on Latin America and Africa. In the three years since the CIA-engineered coup in Chile, the southern cone of our hemisphere has become an inter- -national testing ground for militaryputschesbreeding fascism: The multi-national corporations, the military dictatorships, and the fascist parties are all at work with U.S. techno- logical help. Our articles on Chile and Argentina show something of the scope of these activities. The other major focus of current U.S. involvement, southern Africa, is represented by the revealing description of events surrounding the status of Namibia, as documented in-the confidential U.N. memorandum reprinted here, and in a critique of an early, secret Kissinger study of southern Africa, still being implemented. - ' ., Providing a link between the two fronts is Jamaica, a Caribbean land with a deep African heritage, which is the current target of a major destabilization effort, comparable to Chile and much of Latin America. Woven through all these events is a common thread: the U.S, government's psychopathic fear of Cuba, as evidenced by the preposterous assertion that Fidel Castro may have been responsible for the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The struggle of course is global. This issue of CounterSpy .also provides some exclusive details of U.S. war crimes in -Vietnam, exposed by Anthony Herbert, as well as an analy- ?.sis of the repressive and reactionary developments in Germany and Thailand. Even though we limit our coverage to the incredible transgressions of the U.S. intelligence community and those they have trained, there is no lack of material. ... and Us Readers of CounterSpy will notice some changes, beyond the lateness of this issue. We have decided to attempt an expansion; we want to reach more people. We have incorporated, increased production, and modified our re- sources to present tighter, more comprehensive coverage Our staff has changed somewhat, with some former members of the old Organizing Committee for a Fifth Estate going on to other things. Now we will draw on the vast skills and knowledge of our contributing editors and advisors. as we have done in this issue.

" Levi Threatens U. S. Human Events, :a conservative na- tional weekly, has concluded that U.S. Attorney General Edward Levi is a threat to our internal security. In the Septem- ber 25 issue it accused him of weakening our republic by ordering the FBI to stop illegal burglaries, stop 'infiltration of political parties, and- stop COINTEL- PRO-type sabotage, particularly against the Socialist Workers Party. The Human Events article encouraged the Attorney General to allow the FBI to harass the Amnesty International, an organiza- tion devoted. to the release of political prisoners, reports in its latest survey that suppression of human rights is continu- ing on a disturbing scale in 107 nations. Persecution of dissident individuals, in- cluding the use of torture that almost defies belief, is not limited to a ? few countries; it's widespread. Amnesty In- ternational, which sent investigators into 31 countries last -year, reports that torture experts exchange knowledge and that torture equipment is exported from one country to another. Green Berets Train Local Cops . 'Although it is illegal for the military to aid civilian law enforcement agencies, members of the Special Forces Reserve Units have been holding informal meet- ings with local law enforcement' officials over the summer. The U.S. military's Special Forces Reserve Units held illegal training ses- sions for local police in counter insur- gency strategies. The sessions are com- pletely unofficial and not in any Special Forces capacity. They met with local police officials and also personnel from certain county sheriffs' offices. They created realistic scenarios, in which they would act. One went like this: a lame- duck president is in power. He should resign - but -can't give up his power. Military leaders decide they need, a strongman government. They demand the. federal government step in . and declare martial law, a police state pronouncement. Special Forces has two functions. One - "who is not a permanent resident alien or citizen of the U.S. and who is an . - employee of a foreign power." But A "foreign, power" includes not only gov- ernments (friendly or otherwise) and military forces but also factions, parties, or enterprises controlled by such entities. Foreign intelligence information includes any information with respect to foreign powers which is deemed essential to U.S. national security or to the conduct, of U.S. foreign affairs: Christopher Pyle, in his analysis of S. 3197 in The Nation, states: "The scope of this 'definition is truly breathtaking: Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable national security wiretapping would be denied not only to suspected spies (whose agencies are omitted from the list) but to doctors from Sweden, professors from France, railroad engineers from England, poli- `ticians from- Canada, and - UNICEF workers from Australia. Indeed, given the millions of people that socialism has put on foreign government payrolls, -about the only foreign visitors clearly Gangs Linked to Police A police scandal is brewing in Detroit, where sources report that officers in the gang intelligence unit of the Detroit Police Department and members of the Detroit Police Officers Association (DPOA) have made plans to feed guns, money and drugs to the Errol Flynns and rival gangs. Although DPOA and Dep- uty City Mayor William Bechham have termed such reports "ridiculous and ir- responsible," at least one aide to Mayor Coleman Young is reported to be inves- tigating the rumors. Possible motives for the crime-intensifying actions include -the need to force rehiring of laid-off officers and the desire to embarass or destroy the mayor and strengthen the DPOA. At least one gang member, Keith ,Harvey (known as a publicity-seeker and not entirely credible), says that members of the Detroit Police gang intelligence unit gave a list of black police officers, names and addresses to gang members. The list was recently found in the posses- sion of a gang, member. The list, Harvey contends, was given to the gang by Abdul Mohammed, who was found murdered in Highland Park last winter. Harvey contends that-Mohammed was a police provocateur. A recent article in the Los' Angeles Times also charged that gang violence in Detroit was precipitated by Mayor Young's enemies to embarrass his administration. 4 -; Feed Back on Reeses John and Louise Rees were sub- poened by the Socialist Workers Party as part of its suit against the govern- ment for harassment. The FBI admit- ted to its lawyers that 66 FBI agents are inside the campaign committee of SWP Presidential Candidate Peter Camejo, despite the ruling by the court to cease spying. The SWP suspects that the Rees apparatus may have worked for the government to spy on the party. The Reeses have also been subpoened by the Institutue for Policy Studies in a similar suit. - Approved For Release 2004/10/28 : CIA-RDP88-0131'4R000100360003-3 is to go into trouble spots as a small team of specialists. The CIA makes initial contact with local insurgents, and Spe- cial Forces enter to supply and train them. Its second function is to conduct direct operations against - the enemy: raids, ambushes, intelligence gathering operations, etc. Presently, the Special Forces doctrine is designed for rural areas only. Recent urban guerrilla activity leaves them totally disabled, - according to a Special Forces Agent who wrote a story. ,for. Harpers Weekly. In March 1976, President Ford, Attor- ney General, Levi and Senator Kennedy announced a bipartisan bill to govern electronic surveillance for national secur- itypurposes. On its surface, the For- eign Intelligence Surveillance Act (S. 3197) appears to be a constructive ' ;response to the- abuses and atrocious practices of U.S. intelligence agencies. It is not. The bill establishes a procedure for obtaining warrants for electronic sur- veillance of an "agent of a foreign power" in the name of collecting "for- eign intelligence information."

Fuoco and Albert J. Schibani, charged that the IRS engaged in whole- sale violation of the 1974' Privacy Act by maintaining illegal files on its workers. They filed the suit in Washington, D.C., seeking damages and other relief not only for the three plaintiffs, but for the "thousands" of other IRS employees allegedly affected. The files, which are not the files the IRS admitted and disclosed they had last December 1975, are kept in the supervisors' offices. The plaintiffs' names are on the outside of the notebook or binder and each folder contains handwritten notes on the em- ployees, evaluation forms, latters, mem- oranda. and other personal information on the employees. They're called "docu- mentation folders" and are not kept with BUD Refuses to Give Up Workers Lists This may be the first case where the Privacy Act conflicted with the Freedom of Information Act-and the latter pre- vailed. The Housing and Urban Develop- ment Dept. maintains promotion lists on which employees are ranked numerical- ly. The lists are major factors-though not the only ones-in promotion deci- sions. When HUD refused to grant a local of the American Federation of Government Employees access ? to the lists, the union filed a grievance which eventually went to arbitration. The arbi- trator declared the union is entitled to any and 'all information' available to individual employees. He ordered HUD to make the promotion lists available within fifteen days. He' further ordered that management must advise. the union of the promotion ranking of any em- ployee who asks the union' to seek such information for him. He also said that when rankings are questioned, manage- ment must make the lists available in full to both the employees and the union. U.S. Naxos Accused of Assassination Program The Solidary Committee with the Argentine People (SCAP) and the Man- chester Guardian have released separate reports about an assassination program similar to the CIA's Phoenix Program in Vietnam, but operating throughout Latin America. (See story) It may have been created by. the CIA and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). SCAP charges that the DEA in Argen- tina can be directly linked with the paramilitary death squad, AAA (Argen- tine Anti-Communist Alliance), which has been responsible for as many as 5,000 murders since August 1972. In September; S5 young men and women, opponents of the Argentine military dic- tatorship, were murdered on the out- skirts of Buenos. Aires in one 24-hour period. The most grim mass killing involved 30 victims; they were found near Fatima on August 219, their bullet- riddled bodies blown apart by explo- sives. This method is now common in AAA killings. The man responsible for organizing' the AAA was former Argentine Social Welfare Minister Jose Lopez Riga. While exiled in Spain, Riga was recruited by Robert Hill,, then U.S. Ambassador to Spain and a suspected CIA agent. When Hill was assigned as Ambassador to Argentina in 1973, Lopez Riga became the Welfare Minister. Hill and Riga arranged for the DEA to enter Argentina in order to establish a program to "wipe out drug traffic in Argentina." Riga claimed, while on television with Hill when they signed the U.S. Argentina Anti-drug Treaty, that the "anti-drug campaign will automatically be an anti- guerrilla campaign as well." The DEA has over 400 agents operating through- out Lat; n America. Sensory Deprivation Report The August 5, 1976 issue of New Scientists has a remarkable article titled "Taking the Hood off British Torture" documenting the clinical results of Brit- ish "sensory deprivation"' techniques on prisoners in northern Ireland. The arti- cle, using evidence from a report by the European Human Rights Commission, reveals that this modern form of torture, used by the British at their Combined Services Intelligence Centre, has long- range medical and psychiatric effects including paranoid delusions and visual- and auditory hallucinations which can continue long after initial 'treatments. In 1971, the British placed hoods over fourteen prisoners, forced them to stand against a wall in a frisk position, supported only by their fingertips, and dressed in loose-fitting boiler suits for periods tip to sixteen straight hours. If they fell, they were forced back to the position. If they, fell again, they were subjected to a continuous loud "white" noise of high intensity and deprived of sleep, focal and water. Although these techniques do not leave any physical scars, ' the report concluded these methods are indeed torture. Border Harassment Continues The U.S. Supreme Court has autho- rized the Border Patrol to reestablish highway checkpoints along the Mexican border. In its July 6 decision, the court reversed a 1975 order by the circuit court of appeals in San Francisco that shut down checkpoints because they, violated the Fourth Amendment ban on unreasonable search and seizure. The new decision also scraps the court's earlier rulings requiring "reasonable cause" for stopping and searching cars. The court described the checkpoints as "minimal" intrusion on constitutional rights, justified by the number of undoc- umented workers the system appre- hends. The checkpoints 'may be "minimal" for whites but not for Mexican-Ameri- cans. There have been many incidents of racist abuses by --the Border Patrol, including verbal insults, physical vio- lence, women molesting, and good old- fashioned American shakedowns. Justi- ces Thurgood Marshall and William Brennan, dissenting' from the ruling, declared the searches "a dragnet-like procedure offensive to the sensibilities of free citizens." The court noted that 17,000 "illegal aliens" were caught at a single checkpoint last year. Brennan added in his remarks, "That law in this country should tolerate use of one's ancestry as probative of possible criminal conduct is repugnant " Framed Tokyo Rose? Workers News Service of Ewa Beach, Hawaii, recently sent Counterspy an interview from the Honolulu Adviser which indicates the FBI may have framed Iva Toguri d'Aquino, the Jap- anese-American woman convicted of treason in the 1949 "Tokyo Rose" trial concerning pro-Japanese radio broad- casts during World War II. The inter- view was with Norman Reyes, a Honohtlu public relations man, who, white a POW,' helped write some of the broad- casts by d'Aquino. Reyes was a. defense witness at the trial of two other POWs who worked at Radio Tokyo. They all agreed d'Aquino was innocent and that they had conspired to sabotage Japanese Approved For Release 2004/10/28 : CIA-RDP88-01314R000100360003-3 Approved For Release 2004/10/28 : CIA-RDP88-01314R000100360003-3 propaganda eltorts. Out the judge threw out Reyes' testi- mony because it directly contradicted a statement, prepared by the FBI and signed by Reyes. in which he stated there were no efforts to sabotage Japanese propaganda and that he did not trust d'Aquinu. On the stand, he said he would trust her with his life. Revel now claims the FBI statement was a total lie, composed by the Bureau, which he was forced to sign. Reyes and many others are urging President Ford to pardon Ica Togu ri d'Aquino. Military Retreat During the August 10, 1976 hearings before the Senate Armed Services Com- mittee on the Nomination of Daniel Orrin Graham to be promoted to Lieu- tenant General on the Retired List of the Army, Senator Stuart Symington (D-Mo.) was able to force Gen. Graham to admit that the CIA was "the brightest and most flexible piece of the Federal Bureaucracy that I have ever run into." It's startling when one remembers Graham led the Pentagon effort to take over many intelligence activities, especi- ally strategic estimates from the CIA. Under questioning from the Senator though, Graham admitted taut the De- fense Intelligence Agency (DIA) was not very accurate at threat estimates. Like most military ntelligence agencies, the DIA exists to enforce the command staff's operational plans and most often delivers "intelligence to please." Most notorious were the military intelligence estimates of the Indochina War, which only reinforced Pentagon contentions that the U.S. was winning. Are You an Interpol Victim?

Since that list was also unrelated to proven, or even suspected criminal activity, in 1974 Acting FBI Director L. Patrick Gray announced that the ADEX had been abolished. However, in 1976, a politically active attorney from New York, requesting his FBI file under the Freedom of-Information Act, discovered, buried in his dossier, a copy of his ADEX entry Memoran- dum and Report. ADEX, it appears, was not abolished, simply moved around. No explanation of the four categories was given. The New York office recommended that the lawyer be put in the lowest category, IV, "because of subject's apparent influence with New Left leaders." However, the home office stated: "In addition to the foregoing, a review of subject's activities clearly depicts him as a revolutionary attorney and sympathizer who, during a time of national emergency, would be likely to commit acts inimical to the national defense. In view of the above, subject is being included in Category III of ADEX." What fate is in store , we wonder, for people put in Category I?

Letelier/Moffitt assassination. Cuba's Foreign Minister. declared recently that the US is attempting to block the trial of the gusanos in Venezuela and has recently divided the Caribbean meetings 'on the airplane sabotage. In those meetings,.Fred Wills, Foreign Minister of Guyana, mentioned that Trinidad and.Tobago officials had diaries of the concrete proof. the US was attempting to destabilize Guyana and Jamaica; it is part of an overall US strategy-to dividethe other nations of the Carib- bean from Cuba. During negotiations on the fate of the arrested gusanos, nations including Venezuela. e ast as 1many Latin American chiefs of state have clone.
