CARL ROWAN: It's been almost ten years now since the
FBI and CIA were gravely damaged by revelations of outrageous
violations of law and abuses of people's rights at home and
abroad. The reputations of some top officials at both agencies
were ruined, and Congress imposed tougher controls. Americans
told themselves it would be a long time before anyone in those
aoencies tried that stuff again.
Well, it looks like a longtime has passed. There's
evidence that people in the CIA and FBI are trying that stuff
again, as I'll report right after'this message from Chrysler
Corporation.
ROWAN: Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan recently raised
the question of whether the CIA is complying with the law in its
operations in Central America. Moynihan said many senators
believe that the agency is involved in efforts to overthrow the
government of Nicaragua, despite the Omnibus Appropriations bill
for this fiscal year that pronibits such American support.
In the name of preventing communism from spreading in
.this hemisphere, the administration seems to be encouraging the
CIA to do everything it did in Chile and elsewhere a decade ago.
At the same time, the FBI, in the name of fighting terrorism or
anticipating and preventing crime, proposes again to infiltrate
many groups that the FBI or the Attorney General designates as
violence prone.
It may sound fine to have the FBI place informers inside
