Central Intelligence Agency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In 1949, the Central Intelligence Agency Act (also called "Public Law 110") was passed, permitting the agency to use confidential, fiscal, and administrative procedures and exempting it from many of the usual limitations on the use of federal funds. The Office of the General Counsel[10]advises the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency on all legal matters relating to his role as CIA director and is the principal source of legal counsel for the CIA. This was the apparent culmination of a years old turf war regarding influence, philosophy and budget between the Defense Intelligence Agency of The Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Central_Intelligence_Agency   (7098 words)

Kennedy to a spectacularly failed attempt to overthrow the Castro regime.

The anti-communist bureau of the agency was slated to be eliminated, and many domestic intelligence and surveillance activities were either abandoned or transferred to national police forces.

FrontPage magazine.com :: Korean Spies for Kerry? by Lt. Col. Gordon Cucullu An AP news report in late September noted that an agent employed by South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (formerly the Korean Central Intelligence Agency) who was serving as a consular official in Los Angeles, had met with fundraisers John Kerry’s campaign. This intelligence agent, Chung Byung-man, previously served in Atlanta where he came into contact with an American, Rick Yi, described as a “former military attaché” who had worked in the Clinton White House.

The former martial law commander for the region told a National Assembly committee in 1988 that civilian protests were not violent enough at the beginning to justify the use of elite forces and that army brutality aggravated the situation. countrystudies.us /south-korea/71.htm   (1133 words)
