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. He
said the incident gave President
Reagan congressional support for
the controversial MX Missile and ef?
fectively deflated the erupting
peace movement in Europe.
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."
