... pre-assassination operations involving Oswald, and both of these from the assassination plot. I shall suggest that the DFS, if only by its involvement in the CIA's LIENVOY telephone intercept program, became enmeshed in pre-assassination Oswald operations, and possibly the plot as well. As for the pre-assassination operations, one clue as to what is being concealed is the suppressed content in successive alterations of a single key document, the DFS account of Silvia Durán's statement when arrested on November 23, 1963. There are at least four successive versions of this single document; and if we focus on what is being suppressed by these successive alterations, we arrive at a working hypothesis of what actually may have happened ...

In its recent operations it has shown a preference to work through the employees of other U.S. agencies, and, increasingly, the agents and agencies of third countries. Thus in the Cambodia coup-slaughter of March 1970, modelled (as Newsweek reported) on the Djakarta operation of 1965, the key training role was played by ...

... of securing re-election in November 1940 would have been seriously damaged. Churchill used this threat to blackmail Roosevelt into providing material support for the British war effort-- with the ultimate objective of dragging America into the conflict. Although Churchill succeeded in squashing the peace feelers put out by Butler and Halifax during the summer of 1940 he was unable to suppress all treasonable activity. Lord Lothian and Sir Samuel Hoare, Ambassadors in Washington and Madrid respectively, the Minister in Switzerland, Sir David Kelly, and the Duke of Windsor maintained highly irregular and compromising contacts with the Germans throughout the period from June 1940 to early 1941.

(98) In the case of Italy the KYP became involved in fascist (MSI) plotting against the slowly decaying Christian Democratic government. So did the CIA, according to revelations in the suppressed House Congressional Report on Intelligence- the so-called Pike Report- whose unprecedented suppression has itself been attributed to the domestic political strength of the CIA.

... Akcam's volume is based on archival research, Desmond Fernandes' book is more a critique of the contemporary phenomenon of denial. Although his title refers to 'Kurdish Genocide', in fact, he only briefly considers the Turkish state's oppression of the Kurds. The bulk of the book focuses on how the Turkish government and its accomplices have tried to suppress discussion of the Armenian genocide. He provides an excellent demolition of Guenter Lewy's The Armenian Massacres in Ottoman Turkey: A Disputed Genocide. But of greater interest is his recounting of Turkish attempts at closing down debate. An attempt was made, for example, at intimidating Microsoft into suppressing an online encyclopaedia entry. They 'threatened Microsoft with serious ...

All the way through Jeffreys-Jones' book the question arises: is he lying or is he just ignorant? Has he managed not to notice the material on the CIA in Indonesia? Or is he suppressing it because it's too ugly? The same question arises with the Craddock book. Craddock was a British ambassador and chair of the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC). Despite its title, the book is Craddock's version of the Cold War interspersed with selections from JIC documents; and Craddock's version of the Cold War takes us back to the ...

The main tactic for making cases was to pose as an intermediary and induce deals.

Since the drug trade is lucrative there has always been the temptation if not the incentive for agents to personally profit from this standard case-making tactic. Hence even assuming the legitimacy of the drug enforcement objectives, the potential for corruption was endemic.

But the most significant focus of U.S. training and aid was the Territorial Organization's increasing liaison with 'the civilian administration, religious and cultural organizations, youth groups, veterans, trade unions, peasant organizations, political parties and groups at regional and local levels.' (51) These political liaisons with civilian groups provided the structure for the ruthless suppression of the PKI in 1965, including the bloodbath.
