" the cia had introduced african swine flu virus into cuba, in 1971, bringing disease and slaughter to 500,000 pigs. a cia operative told a reporter he delivered the virus from an army base in the canal zone to anti-castro cubans......the cia--with the collusion of a secret committee of forty headed by henry kissinger---had worked to 'destabilize' the chilean government headed by salvador allende, a marxist who had been elected president in one of the rare free elections in latin america. itt, with large interests in chile, played a part in this operation. the fbi....had sent forged letters, engaged in burglaries (it admitted to ninety-two between 1960 and 1966), opened mail illegally, and, in the case of black panther leader fred hampton, seems to have conspired in murder....there was an impression of an honest society correcting itself....the limits of the government's willingness to engage in probing into such activities by public servants. the church committee conducted its investigations with the cooperation of the agencies being investigated and, indeed, submitted its findings on the cia to the cia to see if there was material that the agency wanted omitted....there is no way to know how much more there was discovered by the committee--the final report was a compromise between committee diligence and cia caution./ The pike committee's report was voted on in secret by the house. daniel schorr leaked its contents and was suspended by cbs. It was another instance of cooperation between the mass media and the government-- ' in instances of national security'."/// "it later turned out that the gulf of tonkin incident was a fake." "every unit of brigade size has its my lai hidden somewhere." "cia recommended 'a bombing program of greater intensity', directed against 'the will of the regime as a target system'."
