... supported by (potentially) checkable material. Her thesis, and the book, is in two sections. In the first she takes the reader through the stages of her discovery that Agca was an agent/employee of the so-called Turkish Mafia. Heavily involved in the drugs/guns network in that part of the world, this Mafia has extensive links both to European neo-fascists and to the Turkish Gray Wolves. Agca had links to the latter, though Ms Sterling (and Henze) are at pains to convince us that Agca was ...

... suggesting that the entire agency has become infected with this. His evidence is chiefly the testimony of former DEA and CIA officials, contract personnel- or drug smugglers turned informants. Do you believe George Bush was a big wheel in a thirty year-old CIA operation to run drugs into America? Stitch does- at any rate he quotes people who make this claim. The evidence does not convince me- or is it just that I find it hard to believe? I find the Scott-Marshall-McKoy thesis more plausible: that for short-term strategic reasons ...

Consider also that Egil Krogh's investigators had stumbled upon the CIA's unilateral drug smuggling operation, and that in July 1971, President Nixon had declared the burgeoning war on drugs to be a matter of national security. Nixon went after the CIA and quick as a flash, E. Howard Hunt (Conein's comrade from OSS Detachment 202) bungled the bugging of the Watergate Hotel.

... spent the early sixties working on 'top secret projects' at the US Department of Defense (chapter 2). To all intents and purposes, Stark appeared out of nowhere in 1969. Details are equally thin after 1970. Stark was arrested in Italy in 1975 on drugs charges; at his trial he refused to recognise the court and claimed to be a political prisoner. In prison, Stark gave the authorities what appeared to be accurate warnings of future Brigate Rosse actions; he is also alleged to have persuaded a member of the ...
