The reports, known collectively by historians and CIA officials as the "family jewels," were initially produced in response to a 1973 request by then-CIA Director James R. Schlesinger. Alarmed by press accounts of CIA involvement in Watergate under his predecessor, Schlesinger asked the agency's employees to inform him of all operations that were "outside" the agency's legal charter.
The CIA will declassify hundreds of pages of long-secret records detailing some of the intelligence agency's worst illegal abuses -- the so-called "family jewels" documenting a quarter-century of overseas assassination attempts, domestic spying, kidnapping and infiltration of leftist groups from the 1950s to the 1970s, CIA Director Michael V. Hayden said yesterday.
The documents, to be publicly released next week, also include accounts of break-ins and theft, the agency's opening of private mail to and from China and the Soviet Union, wiretaps and surveillance of journalists, and a series of "unwitting" tests on U.S. civilians, including the use of drugs.
I've been screaming bloody murder since November, 1963. I've gotten pretty hoarse. By this time, I just assume that the fascists took over a long time ago (When? Very controversial topic!)
I may be wrong, but I think the CIA is pushing back against the neocons. Why else would they release this stuff NOW?
So, are we paranoid enough yet? I'm pretty relaxed, due to V-8 juice with a dash of Worcestershire Sauce. Let's have a poll.
