On the evening of Sept. 10, just
prior to an overflow rally at the Felt
Forum in New York on behalf of the
restoration of human rights in Chile,
I chatted with a dear friend and fellow
humanist, Orlando Letelier, former
Chilean ambassador to the United
States and an opponent of the junta.
He complained how on that very
day the Chilean junta had withdrawn
his Chilean citizenship. And, in
response, I told hirn how such a
.deprivation, coming from the junta,
should. he considered as a great tribute
to him. He simply smiled and nodded
his head. We then chatted with mutual
friends and I looked forward to
accepting his invitation to visit him
soon in Washington.
Later that evening, at the close of
his speech to the rally, Letelier emo-
tionally but with the utmost sincerity
declared: "Today is a dramatic day in
my life in which action of the fascist
generals against me makes me feel
more Chilean than ever.
"I was born a Chilean, I am a
Chilean and I will die a Chilean. They,
the fascists, were born traitors, live as
traitors and will be remembered
forever as fascist traitors."
How logical then-if monsters can
claim to use logic-for the junta to
take the next step in eliminating
what they considered dangerous
opposition to their cruel and inhuman
away with outside .-die instead of
by the "on the spot" murders and
"disappearances" which have been
going on in that tragic country since
Sept. 11, 1973.
. If there is any forthrightness and
"Founding Father" greatness in either
of our present presidential candidates,
I believe that now is the time for their
platforms to include specific proposals
for doing away with this monstrous
terror that is spreading throughout all
of Latin America. We now all know it
was aided and abetted by deliberate
acts of the Nixon administration and
the CIA-an attitude that is still
being supported covertly and overtly
by the Ford administration, and many
in the business world and the banking
community. This growing cancer in
the western hemisphere will surely
destroy not only our Latin American
brothers and sisters, but also our
America-just as our policy in Vietnam
came close to doing.
Now is the time-now before our
November election-for our next
President to obtain his mandate from
the American people to correct the
evil that we have wrought; to state his
intent to go before the United Nations
and there openly acknowledge, with
all the honesty that should characterize
America, our government's part in
stealing away the Chilean government
from the Chilean people and our
regime. Thus on Sept. 21, the Chilean anxiety to make amends and enable
junta, acting through their secret restitution.
police-DINA-murdered Orlando
Letelier-just as they murdered Gen.
Carlos Prats in Argentina and many
others in Italy and elsewhere who
were "graciously" allowed to leave
Chile after months of torture and
imprisonment.
With the cynicism typical of their
rule, they promptly denied any
involvement in Letelier's murder.
Moreover, with crocodile tears they
even "lamented" the assassination of
a man for whom they so recently
issued a decree depriving him of his
Chilean citizenship. Obviously, in their
diabolic reasoning they feel they can
more easily escape indictment for the
deaths and disappearance of the
former democratically elected leaders
and members of the Popular Unity
party if these individuals are done
Our next President should also
commit the United States to support-
ing all possible U.N. sanctions, includ-
ing the ouster of the present Chilean
regime from that body, to bring about
the regime's downfall; he should
insist that this regime be succeeded
by a caretaker body in the hands of
the democratically elected Popular
Unity party and that early elections
be held under U.N. supervision and the
constitutional laws that prevailed
prior to the 1973 putsch, and he
should pledge our willingness to help
a democratic Chile recover from its
present state of economic chaos.
By taking such a stand, this country
^uld once again demonstrate to the
iorld community of nations that
-America is still capable of exercising
the high ideals and purposes of demo-
cracy upon which our nation was
founded.
In the hearts of his many admirers.
in this country and Chile, Orlando
Letelier has not died. In history,
Letelier, his former president, Salvador
Allende Gossens, and. the many
Chilean heroes who worked and died
with them to bring political and
economic freedom to the Chilean
people will live on forever. The mem-
bers of the junta and those who
assisted in establishing that junta must
surely, soon we hope, share the fate of
Hitler, Mussolini, and all their ilk.

About four years ago I worked with
the Committee of Concerned Asian
Scholars to write a pamphlet called
The Opium Trail. In it, we accused the
CIA of purposefully aiding the opium
heroin trade in order to build the
economic dependence of allied
mercenary forces and tribal groupings
in Laos. I talked personally with one
ex-green Beret who said he delivered
CIA gold to village chiefs and loaded
opium on Air America planes and
helicopters. He also said he later saw
the same opium (village markings)
on the Saigon market. I believe Alan
Ginsberg has names of other G.Ls
who had similar experiences.
Around the time I was working on
the pamphlet, I thought of starting
an organization to research and
expose the CIA. I am very happy to
find you proceeding with much
effectiveness. My best wishes. Thank
you for your efforts!

COMMENT
Throughout the last five administrations, the State De-
partment and the Central Intelligence Agency have been at
war. with Cuba. It has not been the war of Vietnam, nor of
Angola or,the Middle East. It has been a secret roar, and for
the past eight years; one of Henry Kissinger's favorite
.battlegames. Whether the new administration will have the
sense or the courage or the strength to end this war remains
..to be seen. During the recent presidential campaign, the
reality. was well hidden, and only glimpses of that secret
,war came into focus from time to time.
But with the assassination of Orlando Letelier in Wash-
ington, and the bombing in the Caribbean of a Cubana
Airlines plane, the war escalated, and the tangled, convoluted
,web was exposed, interweaving the U.S. intelligence appara-
tus; the right-wing Cuban expatriots--the gusanos, the
`Chilean Junta, and the transnational forces of destabiliza-
-tion. Caught in the web are the banished Chilean exiles,
_the brave Cuban people, and progressive forces everywhere.
People in power, have never given up their power without
-a fight. As the age of capitalism gives way to the age of
socialism, the struggle -heightens at points of transition. And
social progress is not smooth; while there are victories in
Vietnam and Angola, there are tragedies in Chile and Thai-
land-. The United States is always involved. The sphere of
North American counterrevolution is world-wide.
As we demonstrate in this issue of CounterSpy, there is
a special emphasis now on Latin America and Africa. In
the three years since the CIA-engineered coup in Chile, the
southern cone of our hemisphere has become an inter-
-national testing ground for militaryputschesbreeding fascism:
The multi-national corporations, the military dictatorships,
and the fascist parties are all at work with U.S. techno-
logical help. Our articles on Chile and Argentina show
something of the scope of these activities.
The other major focus of current U.S. involvement,
southern Africa, is represented by the revealing description
of events surrounding the status of Namibia, as documented
in-the confidential U.N. memorandum reprinted here, and
in a critique of an early, secret Kissinger study of southern
Africa, still being implemented. - ' .,
Providing a link between the two fronts is Jamaica, a
Caribbean land with a deep African heritage, which is the
current target of a major destabilization effort, comparable
to Chile and much of Latin America. Woven through all
these events is a common thread: the U.S, government's
psychopathic fear of Cuba, as evidenced by the preposterous
assertion that Fidel Castro may have been responsible for
the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
The struggle of course is global. This issue of CounterSpy
.also provides some exclusive details of U.S. war crimes in
-Vietnam, exposed by Anthony Herbert, as well as an analy-
?.sis of the repressive and reactionary developments in
Germany and Thailand. Even though we limit our coverage
to the incredible transgressions of the U.S. intelligence
community and those they have trained, there is no lack
of material.
... and Us
Readers of CounterSpy will notice some changes,
beyond the lateness of this issue. We have decided to attempt
an expansion; we want to reach more people. We have
incorporated, increased production, and modified our re-
sources to present tighter, more comprehensive coverage
Our staff has changed somewhat, with some former
members of the old Organizing Committee for a Fifth Estate
going on to other things. Now we will draw on the vast
skills and knowledge of our contributing editors and advisors.
as we have done in this issue. Future issues will carry more
of their own analyses of national security issues, as well as
those written by independent journalists. We hope our
readers- will approve and welcome the new CounterSpy,

Levi Threatens U. S.
Human Events, :a conservative na-
tional weekly, has concluded that U.S.
Attorney General Edward Levi is a threat
to our internal security. In the Septem-
ber 25 issue it accused him of weakening
our republic by ordering the FBI to stop
illegal burglaries, stop 'infiltration of
political parties, and- stop COINTEL-
PRO-type sabotage, particularly against
the Socialist Workers Party. The Human
Events article encouraged the Attorney
General to allow the FBI to harass the
Amnesty International, an organiza-
tion devoted. to the release of political
prisoners, reports in its latest survey that
suppression of human rights is continu-
ing on a disturbing scale in 107 nations.
Persecution of dissident individuals, in-
cluding the use of torture that almost
defies belief, is not limited to a ? few
countries; it's widespread. Amnesty In-
ternational, which sent investigators into
31 countries last -year, reports that
torture experts exchange knowledge and
that torture equipment is exported from
one country to another.
Green Berets Train Local Cops .
'Although it is illegal for the military to
aid civilian law enforcement agencies,
members of the Special Forces Reserve
Units have been holding informal meet-
ings with local law enforcement' officials
over the summer.
The U.S. military's Special Forces
Reserve Units held illegal training ses-
sions for local police in counter insur-
gency strategies. The sessions are com-
pletely unofficial and not in any Special
Forces capacity. They met with local
police officials and also personnel from
certain county sheriffs' offices. They
created realistic scenarios, in which they
would act. One went like this: a lame-
duck president is in power. He should
resign - but -can't give up his power.
Military leaders decide they need, a
strongman government. They demand
the. federal government step in . and
declare martial law, a police state
pronouncement.
Special Forces has two functions. One
- "who is not a permanent resident alien or
citizen of the U.S. and who is an . -
employee of a foreign power." But A
"foreign, power" includes not only gov-
ernments (friendly or otherwise) and
military forces but also factions, parties,
or enterprises controlled by such entities.
Foreign intelligence information includes
any information with respect to foreign
powers which is deemed essential to U.S.
national security or to the conduct, of
U.S. foreign affairs: Christopher Pyle, in
his analysis of S. 3197 in The Nation,
states: "The scope of this 'definition is
truly breathtaking: Fourth Amendment
protection against unreasonable national
security wiretapping would be denied not
only to suspected spies (whose agencies
are omitted from the list) but to doctors
from Sweden, professors from France,
railroad engineers from England, poli-
`ticians from- Canada, and - UNICEF
workers from Australia. Indeed, given
the millions of people that socialism has
put on foreign government payrolls,

Gangs Linked to Police
A police scandal is brewing in Detroit,
where sources report that officers in the
gang intelligence unit of the Detroit
Police Department and members of the
Detroit Police Officers Association
(DPOA) have made plans to feed guns,
money and drugs to the Errol Flynns and
rival gangs. Although DPOA and Dep-
uty City Mayor William Bechham have
termed such reports "ridiculous and ir-
responsible," at least one aide to Mayor
Coleman Young is reported to be inves-
tigating the rumors. Possible motives
for the crime-intensifying actions include
-the need to force rehiring of laid-off
officers and the desire to embarass or
destroy the mayor and strengthen the
DPOA.
At least one gang member, Keith
,Harvey (known as a publicity-seeker and
not entirely credible), says that members
of the Detroit Police gang intelligence
unit gave a list of black police officers,
names and addresses to gang members.
The list was recently found in the posses-
sion of a gang, member. The list, Harvey
contends, was given to the gang by Abdul
Mohammed, who was found murdered
in Highland Park last winter. Harvey
contends that-Mohammed was a police
provocateur.
A recent article in the Los' Angeles
Times also charged that gang violence in
Detroit was precipitated by Mayor
Young's enemies to embarrass his
administration. 4 -;
Feed Back on Reeses
John and Louise Rees were sub-
poened by the Socialist Workers Party
as part of its suit against the govern-
ment for harassment. The FBI admit-
ted to its lawyers that 66 FBI agents are
inside the campaign committee of SWP
Presidential Candidate Peter Camejo,
despite the ruling by the court to cease
spying. The SWP suspects that the Rees
apparatus may have worked for the
government to spy on the party. The
Reeses have also been subpoened by
the Institutue for Policy Studies in a
similar suit. -

is to go into trouble spots as a small team
of specialists. The CIA makes initial
contact with local insurgents, and Spe-
cial Forces enter to supply and train
them. Its second function is to conduct
direct operations against - the enemy:
raids, ambushes, intelligence gathering
operations, etc.
Presently, the Special Forces doctrine
is designed for rural areas only. Recent
urban guerrilla activity leaves them

Forces Agent who wrote a story. ,for.
Harpers Weekly.
In March 1976, President Ford, Attor-
ney General, Levi and Senator Kennedy
announced a bipartisan bill to govern
electronic surveillance for national secur-
itypurposes. On its surface, the For-
eign Intelligence Surveillance Act (S.
3197) appears to be a constructive
' ;response to the- abuses and atrocious
practices of U.S. intelligence agencies. It
is not.
The bill establishes a procedure for
obtaining warrants for electronic sur-
veillance of an "agent of a foreign
power" in the name of collecting "for-
eign intelligence information." An agent

IRS Spies On Own Workers
Three IRS employees, Paul Stuchiak,
Frank .D. Fuoco and Albert J. Schibani,
charged that the IRS engaged in whole-
sale violation of the 1974' Privacy Act by
maintaining illegal files on its workers.
They filed the suit in Washington, D.C.,
seeking damages and other relief not
only for the three plaintiffs, but for the
"thousands" of other IRS employees
allegedly affected. The files, which are
not the files the IRS admitted and
disclosed they had last December 1975,
are kept in the supervisors' offices. The
plaintiffs' names are on the outside of the
notebook or binder and each folder
contains handwritten notes on the em-
ployees, evaluation forms, latters, mem-
oranda. and other personal information
on the employees. They're called "docu-
mentation folders" and are not kept with
BUD Refuses to Give Up
Workers Lists
This may be the first case where the
Privacy Act conflicted with the Freedom
of Information Act-and the latter pre-
vailed. The Housing and Urban Develop-
ment Dept. maintains promotion lists on
which employees are ranked numerical-
ly. The lists are major factors-though
not the only ones-in promotion deci-
sions. When HUD refused to grant a
local of the American Federation of
Government Employees access ? to the
lists, the union filed a grievance which
eventually went to arbitration. The arbi-
trator declared the union is entitled to
any and 'all information' available to
individual employees. He ordered HUD
to make the promotion lists available
within fifteen days. He' further ordered
that management must advise. the union
of the promotion ranking of any em-
ployee who asks the union' to seek such
information for him. He also said that
when rankings are questioned, manage-
ment must make the lists available in full
to both the employees and the union.
U.S. Naxos Accused of
Assassination Program
The Solidary Committee with the
Argentine People (SCAP) and the Man-
chester Guardian have released separate
reports about an assassination program
similar to the CIA's Phoenix Program in
Vietnam, but operating throughout
Latin America. (See story) It may have
been created by. the CIA and the Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA).
SCAP charges that the DEA in Argen-
tina can be directly linked with the
paramilitary death squad, AAA (Argen-
tine Anti-Communist Alliance), which
has been responsible for as many as
5,000 murders since August 1972. In
September; S5 young men and women,
opponents of the Argentine military dic-
tatorship, were murdered on the out-
skirts of Buenos. Aires in one 24-hour
period. The most grim mass killing
involved 30 victims; they were found near
Fatima on August 219, their bullet-
riddled bodies blown apart by explo-
sives. This method is now common in
AAA killings.
The man responsible for organizing'
the AAA was former Argentine Social
Welfare Minister Jose Lopez Riga. While
exiled in Spain, Riga was recruited by
Robert Hill,, then U.S. Ambassador to
Spain and a suspected CIA agent. When
Hill was assigned as Ambassador to
Argentina in 1973, Lopez Riga became
the Welfare Minister. Hill and Riga
arranged for the DEA to enter Argentina
in order to establish a program to "wipe
out drug traffic in Argentina." Riga
claimed, while on television with Hill
when they signed the U.S. Argentina
Anti-drug Treaty, that the "anti-drug
campaign will automatically be an anti-
guerrilla campaign as well." The DEA
has over 400 agents operating through-
out Lat; n America.
Sensory Deprivation Report
The August 5, 1976 issue of New
Scientists has a remarkable article titled
"Taking the Hood off British Torture"
documenting the clinical results of Brit-
ish "sensory deprivation"' techniques on
prisoners in northern Ireland. The arti-
cle, using evidence from a report by the
European Human Rights Commission,
reveals that this modern form of torture,
used by the British at their Combined
Services Intelligence Centre, has long-
range medical and psychiatric effects
including paranoid delusions and visual-
and auditory hallucinations which can
continue long after initial 'treatments.
In 1971, the British placed hoods over
fourteen prisoners, forced them to stand
against a wall in a frisk position,
supported only by their fingertips, and
dressed in loose-fitting boiler suits for
periods tip to sixteen straight hours. If
they fell, they were forced back to the
position. If they, fell again, they were
subjected to a continuous loud "white"
noise of high intensity and deprived of
sleep, focal and water. Although these
techniques do not leave any physical
scars, ' the report concluded these
methods are indeed torture.
Border Harassment Continues
The U.S. Supreme Court has autho-
rized the Border Patrol to reestablish
highway checkpoints along the Mexican
border. In its July 6 decision, the court
reversed a 1975 order by the circuit
court of appeals in San Francisco that
shut down checkpoints because they,
violated the Fourth Amendment ban on
unreasonable search and seizure. The
new decision also scraps the court's
earlier rulings requiring "reasonable
cause" for stopping and searching cars.
The court described the checkpoints as
"minimal" intrusion on constitutional
rights, justified by the number of undoc-
umented workers the system appre-
hends.
The checkpoints 'may be "minimal"
for whites but not for Mexican-Ameri-
cans. There have been many incidents of
racist abuses by --the Border Patrol,
including verbal insults, physical vio-
lence, women molesting, and good old-
fashioned American shakedowns. Justi-
ces Thurgood Marshall and William
Brennan, dissenting' from the ruling,
declared the searches "a dragnet-like
procedure offensive to the sensibilities of
free citizens." The court noted that
17,000 "illegal aliens" were caught at a
single checkpoint last year. Brennan
added in his remarks, "That law in this
country should tolerate use of one's
ancestry as probative of possible criminal
conduct is repugnant "
Framed Tokyo Rose?
Workers News Service of Ewa
Beach, Hawaii, recently sent Counterspy
an interview from the Honolulu Adviser
which indicates the FBI may have
framed Iva Toguri d'Aquino, the Jap-
anese-American woman convicted of
treason in the 1949 "Tokyo Rose" trial
concerning pro-Japanese radio broad-
casts during World War II. The inter-
view was with Norman Reyes, a Honohtlu
public relations man, who, white a
POW,' helped write some of the broad-
casts by d'Aquino. Reyes was a. defense
witness at the trial of two other POWs
who worked at Radio Tokyo. They all
agreed d'Aquino was innocent and that
they had conspired to sabotage Japanese

Out the judge threw out Reyes' testi-
mony because it directly contradicted a
statement, prepared by the FBI and
signed by Reyes. in which he stated there

Military Retreat
During the August 10, 1976 hearings
before the Senate Armed Services Com-
mittee on the Nomination of Daniel
Orrin Graham to be promoted to Lieu-
tenant General on the Retired List of the
Army, Senator Stuart Symington
(D-Mo.) was able to force Gen. Graham
to admit that the CIA was "the brightest
and most flexible piece of the Federal
Bureaucracy that I have ever run into."
It's startling when one remembers
Graham led the Pentagon effort to take
over many intelligence activities, especi-
ally strategic estimates from the CIA.
Under questioning from the Senator
though, Graham admitted taut the De-
fense Intelligence Agency (DIA) was not
very accurate at threat estimates. Like
most military ntelligence agencies, the
DIA exists to enforce the command
staff's operational plans and most often
delivers "intelligence to please." Most
notorious were the military intelligence
estimates of the Indochina War, which
only reinforced Pentagon contentions
that the U.S. was winning.

In 1971, Attorney General John Mitchell, in an attempt to stave off further criticism of the FBI's practice of keeping
huge lists of dissidents-alleged subversives-for who knows what nefarious reasons, announced that all of the 'lists had
been abolished, and were replaced by one short "Administrative Index," or "ADEX," of less than 10,000 names. Since
that list was also unrelated to proven, or even suspected criminal activity, in 1974 Acting FBI Director L. Patrick Gray
announced that the ADEX had been abolished. However, in 1976, a politically active attorney from New York, requesting
his FBI file under the Freedom of-Information Act, discovered, buried in his dossier, a copy of his ADEX entry Memoran-
dum and Report. ADEX, it appears, was not abolished, simply moved around. No explanation of the four categories was
given. The New York office recommended that the lawyer be put in the lowest category, IV, "because of subject's apparent
influence with New Left leaders." However, the home office stated: "In addition to the foregoing, a review of subject's
activities clearly depicts him as a revolutionary attorney and sympathizer who, during a time of national emergency, would
be likely to commit acts inimical to the national defense. In view of the above, subject is being included in Category III
of ADEX." What fate is in store , we wonder, for people put in Category I? The names and addresses have been changed;
otherwise the document below is an exact replica of an ADEX Memorandum:
