... "Case officers led safe if not sane lives. Others took the risks." Agents usually made contact with case officers rather than vice-versa, usually out of fear of having their travel prospects to the US curtailed. This was especially so in Mexico City where Beck went to handle double agent cases after the US spooks were thrown out of Cuba. He writes: "Any case officer contemplating a double agent operation assumes the opposition knows of his or her CIA connections and that he or she may be a plant. What ensues may be likened to a game of chess in which moves and counter moves are studied, projected and applied. That is the simplest description of what ...

... a measure of last resort. More often the agency relied upon covert economic, political, and psychological operations because they suited the circumstances and were more difficult to detect than paramilitary operations.' But where in this literature on the covert operations of the 46-52 period is this focus on 'paramilitary operations'? The well known examples offered-- Cuba, Guatemala, Vietnam-- all fall outside this period. I am no expert on the literature of OPC/CIA but I am not even sure that there is anything resembling 'a picture of the covert operations of this period'. If asked about CIA covert operations in this period I would have difficulty producing much information about anything ...

... that name when writing about Ruth Fischer, the name she used in politics and her writings? In fact, her name was originally Elfriede Eisler, then by marriage it became Friedlander, and later Golke, through a pro-forma marriage to a KPD official upon her rise to prominence in the Berlin KPD. From those days until his death in Cuba- which Fischer attributed to the NKVD- just as she had succeeded in getting him a US visa, she was the common law wife of Arkadi Maslow (another pseudonym), her political associate. When the new German edition of Fischer's book Stalin and German Communism appeared some years ago, a number of reviewers made the point that ...

... just that I find it hard to believe? I find the Scott-Marshall-McKoy thesis more plausible: that for short-term strategic reasons the CIA as an institution has consistently ended up in bed with drug-runners; and has either ignored the drugs or helped the drug-runners ship their goods. Thus, further down the road, when the local crisis is over (Cuba, Laos, Nicaragua, Afghanistan), the agency has become bound together with the drug-runners. In effect, some of the world's major drug-dealers have become immune to serious prosecution by US authorities. National security (covering the CIA's bureaucratic ass) overrides the DEA, FBI, Department of Justice etc. Inside this overall structure some CIA ...

... to me a circumstance sufficiently out of the ordinary as to merit unusual scrutiny and scepticism. So: if I don't allege a conspiracy, why does Dr. Moore include me in the conspiracists' camp? Perhaps because my article is conspiratorial in tone. That is, it retraces an extended and suspect hegira that Jones took to Mexico, Cuba and South America during the early 1960s. In the course of that trip, Jones is found to have met with CIA officers (in Brazil), and to have given anti-communist speeches (in Guyana) – a peculiar stance for a self-declared leftist such as Jones. But the real reason that Dr. Moore battens me into the ...

Concerning Mitrokin (sic), I believe someone sent me a review of the book some months ago that I found in a large pile of mail after three months in
Cuba. I read it and put it aside without action as I've done for some years on those kinds of allegations. I used to go through them refuting point by point and then hope that the original publication would publish my reply. But refusals were fairly regular. Finally I decided that it wasn't worth taking the time. On Mitrokin
