An Interview With Peck, Marchetti, Marks and Stern
RENE CARPENTER: Let me introduce my guests to you:
Winslow Peck, the editor of Counter-Spy. Victor Marchetti,
former high-level CIA official and coauthor of The CIA and
the Cult of Intelligence," along with John Marks. And Larry
Stern, national affairs writer covering the Church Committee.
Winslow, maybe we could start out with Counter-Spy maga-
zine. What is it? What's it link to the Fifth Estate? What
is the Fifth Estate?
WINSLOW PECY Counter-Spy is the organ of the organi-
zing committee for the Fifth Estate. The Fifth Estate is a
community of citizens that are concerned about abuse of power in
our national security bureaucracy.
CARPENTER: Who are they?
PECK: Well, the center of the community is a network
of researchers who are on cdTlege campuses across the country
that are looking into abuse of power on the national as well as
the local level. And we are opposed to abuse of power in several
areas: first, the massive corruption and criminality that we
see, not only in the security bureaucracies, but in many levels
of our government.
CARPENTER: Why do you publish the names of CIA agents?
PECK: We publish the names of CIA agents to reinforce
the political fact of what the CIA is and what they do in our
name, that they are a secret police force that has never acted
in the interests of the American people. Publishing the names
demystifies the power of the CIA.
