The CIA's
Greatest Hits
Brief
Synopsis on Each Hit
Afghanistan
During the
Reagan years,
the CIA ran nearly two dozen covert
operations against various governments. Of these, Afghanistan was by
far the biggest; it was, in fact, the biggest CIA operation of all
time, both in terms of dollars spent ($5-$6 billion) and personnel
involved. Yet it not only generated little controversy, but enjoyed
strong bipartisan support. That's because its main purpose was
to "bleed" the Soviet Union, just as we had been bled in Vietnam.
Prior to the 1979 Russian invasion, Afghanistan was ruled by a brutal
dictator. Like the neighboring Shah of Iran, he allowed the CIA to
set up radar installations in his country that were used to monitor
the Soviets. In 1979, after several dozen Soviet advisors were
massacred by Afghan tribesmen, the USSR sent in the Red Army.
The Soviets tried to install a pliable client regime, without taking
local attitudes much into account. Many of the mullahs who controlled
chunks of Afghan territory objected to Soviet efforts to educate
women and to institute land reform. Others, outraged by the USSR's
attempts to suppress the heroin trade, shifted their operations to
Pakistan.
As for the CIA, its aim was simply to humiliate the Soviets by arming
anyone who would fight against them. The agency funneled cash and
weapons to over a dozen guerrilla groups, many of whom had been
staging raids from Pakistan years before the Soviet invasion. Today,
long after the Soviet Union left Afghanistan (and, in fact, has
ceased to exist), most of these groups are still fighting each other
for control of the country.
Besides tossing billions of dollars into the conflict, the CIA
transferred sensitive weapons technology to fanatical Muslim
extremists, with consequences that will haunt the US for years to
come. One notable veteran of the Afghan operation is Sheik Abdel
Rahman, famous for his role in the World Trade Center bombing.
The CIA succeeded in creating chaos, but never developed a plan for
ending it. When the ten-year war was over, a million people were
dead, and Afghan heroin had captured 60% of the US market.

Military
Expands Intelligence Role in U.S.
By ERIC LICHTBLAU and MARK MAZZETTI
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 — The Pentagon has been using a
little-known
power to obtain banking and credit records of hundreds of Americans and
others suspected of terrorism or espionage inside the United States,
part of an aggressive expansion by the military into domestic
intelligence gathering.

ExxonMobil’s Disinformation Campaign

Oil Company Spent Nearly
$16 Million to Fund Skeptic Groups, Create Confusion
WASHINGTON, DC,
Jan.
3–A new report from the Union of Concerned Scientists offers
the most comprehensive documentation to date of how ExxonMobil has
adopted the tobacco industry's disinformation tactics, as well as some
of the same organizations and personnel, to cloud the scientific
understanding of climate change and delay action on the issue.
According to the report, ExxonMobil has funneled nearly $16 million
between 1998 and 2005 to a network of 43 advocacy organizations that
seek to confuse the public on global warming science.

Ganging Up on Jimmy Carter
By Amitabh Pal
January 12, 2007
Jimmy
is really taking it in the chin for daring to criticize Israel.
Ever
since the publication of his “Palestine: Peace Not
Apartheid,” Carter has been subjected to repeated punches for
stating some truths. Whether or not this affects Carter, it will
certainly stifle debate about Middle East policy in this country.
In
the most recent blow that Carter has suffered, fourteen members of the
Carter Center’s advisory board resigned January 11 to protest
the book and Carter’s comment about the power of the Israeli
lobby in the United States.

THERE'S MORE...
January 16, 2007 -- Today, the Pittsburgh Tribune ran a vicious
editorial attacking former President Jimmy Carter, calling his recently
published book, "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid," a "rewrite of
history".
This editorial is typical of a growing effort from the Israel-first
camp to silence President Carter with the hope that his message does
not get delivered and the long-overdue open debate about US policy
towards Palestine and Israel does not take place.
Please take the time to react to the editorial. We cannot let such
attempts to smother discourse go unanswered,
Please consider giving them a call at: (412) 321-6460. Ask for the
editorial desk.
You can also email them at: opinion@tribweb.com

More Carter defections: Running from Jimmy
Tuesday, January 16, 2007
Mr. Carter is most adept at using rhetoric as incendiary as
it is inaccurate.
The principled resignations last week of 14 advisory board
members of the Carter Center is a reminder that Jimmy
Carter is better at building habitats for humanity than
bridges.
Mr. Carter's latest literary effort -- a rewrite of history
titled "Palestine Peace Not Apartheid" -- suggests the
failed one-term president is most adept at burning bridges
using rhetoric as incendiary as it is inaccurate.
Carter says Israel's treatment of Palestinians --
supposedly depriving them of basic human rights -- has at
times been more onerous than the treatment of black people
in South Africa by the then-apartheid government.
Perhaps he's unaware that roughly 24 percent of Israel's
non-Jewish population within its pre-1967 boundaries mostly
is Arab, very peaceful, and that Arabic is the official
language used for the Arab minority.
The former peanut farmer from Georgia also claims Americans
are afraid to express their opinions about the Middle East
for fear of retribution by the "Jewish Lobby."
At least Mr. Carter did not accuse Israel of turning
children into suicide bombers, the 9/11 terrorists into
heroes or turning on 14 loyalists who were so repulsed by
the Man from Plains that they shunned him in unison.
