Staff Ret porer A former CIA agent speaking at Yale Law School Auditorium Tues- ay nig estimated the number of people killed as a result of actions by the CIA at more than 1 million. Jobw8il0(*W89, who was a case of fice of or'ff'iZ"CIA for 13 years, said the CIA fosters dissent around the globe to generate war profits and support the economic system of the United States. Stockwell cited the instance of the Korean jet that was shot down over Soviet airspace in 1983.

The CIA "makes the world more dangerous" so the president can Doint to a dangerous world when he requests money for arms, Stockwell said. Stockwell, who said he served Three "secret wars" while a CIA agent in the Congo, Vietnam and Angola,,wrote a best-selling book about CIA activities that was denounced by the U.S. government He was one of several panelists who denounced the CIA at a rally attended by about 200 people called, "CIA Crimes and Campus Resistance." The event was sponsored by sev- eral Yale-affiliated groups, including CIA Out Coalition, which includes six Yale undergraduates who dis- rupted a CIA recruiting. interview at Yale last month. The students are scheduled to face disciplinary pro- ceedings by the Yale Execu- tive Committee today. _ For each person killed as a result of CIA action, Stockwell estimated that five to 10 people were trauma-, tized for life. He cited instan- ces where women were gang-raft' and children were forced to watch their father being castrated. "This cannot make our world a safe place for us to live," said Stockwell. Stockwell noted that people ask where were the good German peo- ple in the 1920s and 1930s.when Hit- ler was putting together his regime. He predicted that future genera- tions will ask, "Where were~the American beople when the CIA was committing genocide on the world." Approved For Release 2010/06/17: CIA-RDP91-00587R000201100025-3
