	Stansfield Turner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stansfield Turner (born December 1, 1923) was an Admiral and Director of Central Intelligence.
		Turner attended Amherst College, and graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy with the Class of 1947 and attained a commission in the United States Navy in June, 1946 (during WWII classes were graduated in three years).
		Turner, who was not a lawyer, did not understand the concept of precedent, and did not grasp the broader implications of pushing the U.S. Department of Justice to take an aggressive stance against Snepp.

	Who Killed the CIA? Print Version
		Turner's thesis, which he argues lucidly, is that in recent years "the growth in technological methods of information-gathering," such as satellites and computers, has produced revolutionary gains for American intelligence which render traditional espionage all but unnecessary-except as a backstop for technical collection.
		Turner rejected this sort of inductive analysis, which he associated with the past "paranoia of the CIA's counterintelligence staff." Instead, Turner preferred to rely on more scientific methods, such as the testing of volunteer Soviet agents by polygraph machines and CIA psychologists.
		Turner therefore arranged a test for the suspected station chief in which he would be given secret material and placed under surveillance to see if he passed it to the Soviets.

		Stansfield Turner: I don't think Goss' experience in the CIA is a particularly big plus, but it is not a big disadvantage either.

		Turner shows that very few presidents worked well with their CIA directors and that the relationships were often severely strained over matters of politics, personality and loyalty.
		Admiral Stansfield Turner's 2005 tome is entitled `Burn Before Reading,' a tongue-in-cheek expose about the often tempestuous relationship between a DCI and his boss, the president, since the agency's creation as the main intelligence gathering agency for the executive branch.
		Turner's greatest accomplishment as DCI took place during the 1979-80 crisis with Iran when the CIA was able to get six of America's embassy personnel out of Tehran through subterfuge after the rest had been detained by the invading student hostage takers who had overrun the U.S. Embassy.

	Admiral Stansfield Turner Interview Transcript
		TURNER: Well, we have to continue with the processes we've been using for fifty or, no, for thirty-some years, the treaty processes and we have a treaty on the books right now that hasn't been ratified by either the Russian [Duma] or our Senate.
		TURNER: I came to this idea of strategic escrow, I think, in large measure because of my experience in negotiating the Salt II Treaty in the 1978 time frame during the Carter Administration.
		TURNER: The two most important steps are just start a strategic escrow process and we could do that by putting some weapons in storage away from their delivery vehicles.

		TURNER: One of the things is that some of their early warning radar systems are no longer under their control because they were in components of the Soviet Union that are not now part of Russia, so therefore, they don't have the capabilities they once had.
		TURNER: Well, the Russians have acknowledged openly for the last twelve months, and we have known it and predicted it for much more than that, particularly an expert on this, Bruce Blair, over at Brookings Institution, that their nuclear forces are inexorably declining.
		TURNER: If you and I are walking down the street and we see somebody coming at us and we think he's going to stab us in the back or something, we might decide to strike first.

	Have the media heard of Stansfield Turner?
		Turner, a U.S. Navy admiral and former classmate of President Jimmy Carter at the U.S. Naval Academy, was Carter's pick to head the CIA in 1977.
		No story that had moved by Monday morning, at least that I could find, mentions Stansfield Turner’s tenure as head of the CIA and how that appointment might be a precedent, or at least a cause to lower the level of hysteria.
		The effect of airbrushing Turner out of the story is to give credence to the argument that appointing a man with a military background as CIA director is the first step on the slippery slope to tyranny, that there’s a James Mattoon Scott in the Pentagon just waiting to take over the government.

	CNN.com - Ex-CIA boss: Cheney is 'vice president for torture' - Nov 18, 2005

		Turner is familiar with the appalling dilemmas U.S. President face whenever American citizens become victims of terrorism.
		In the latter case, Turner argues that Reagan's personal concern for a handful of Americans held captive in Beirut led ineluctably to the constitutional crisis known as the Iran-Contra scandal.
		The one major disappointment here is that Turner has almost nothing to say about charges that have surfaced in recent months that Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign manager, William Casey, arranged with Iranian officials to postpone the release of our Tehran embassy personnel until after the election.

		Clark comment: Admiral Turner's survey of the relationships between Presidents and their DCIs is relatively brief, reads easily, and is filled with insights from the perspective of one who has been there.
		Turner also believes that the U.S. Intelligence Community "is unnecessarily large and unwieldy.
		With regard to Halpern's views of Turner's recommendations on organization, a review of the literature on "reorganization" of the CIA, which has become so prevalent in the 1990s, certainly does not cast Turner's thoughts on the matter in a particularly negative light.
