FOIA Request to re e McCarthy Saga
Sun, August 8. 2004 7. pm

(b)(6)
[e-mail]
TO: Director
U. S. Central Intelligence Agency
ATTN: Freedom of Information Manager
Washington, DC 20505
FROM: Larry 41'Bryant
(b)(6)
DATE: August 8, 2004
While certain CIA officials continue to deny the public full access
to any government records pertaining to the CIA-created "Project
Cherry," there remains at least one victim of that rogue operation
who is continuing to seek full vindication and justice as to the
"Cherry"-related crimes of omission/commission perpetrated against
not just him but also against one or more citizens of the Kingdom of
Cambodia.
I refer of course to one former U. S. Army captain John Joseph
McCarthy, Jr., who clandestinely had been trained by, and operated as
a trainer within, "Project Cherry's" central mission: the fielding
of assassination teams throughout key regions of Vietnam-war-era
Southeast:Asia-. For details on his involvement in, and eventual
victimization by, that mission, please visit the Internet web site of:
.ht tp: /./wwjoulzontheuilde.rjagzg�saaatealluillaua.,hrja
With Mr. McCarthy's proxy (i.e., the enclosed copy of his Notice of
Authorization), I hereby submit this letter as a formal, written
freedom-of-information/Privacy Act request that you send me a copy of
all CIA-generated and CIA-received records pertaining to Mr.
McCarthy's military career, his CIA-directed activities, his
associated communications, his post-"Cherry" litigation history, and
his CIA-managed "case file."
Since I make this request as at independent writer focusing on actual
and/or potential whistleblowerderived evidence exposing official
wrongdoing at the highest levels of government, and since such
exposure would significantly educate the general public as to all
related
government activities/policies/programs, I hereby request that you
waive all records-search fees incident to your' fulfilling this
request.
By snail-mail, I'm sending to you a signed printout of this e-formatted letter.
