Science of Spying - Secrets of the CIA | Documentary | 1965

this is a Russian PT 76 the current Red Army amphibious tank it is now the property of the United States it was not given to us by the Russians nor did we purchase it nor did we capture it in battle you could say that it was obtained all 15 Tons of it through intelligence channels or you could say we stole it once upon a time spying or Espionage was a fairly straightforward game but we have come a long way rather quickly from matah Harry there is something new in the science of spying it's not just stealing no military hardware and secret plans but using tanks and plans and men to promote our policies around the world and sometimes to overthrow governments we don't like both sides in the Cold War do it both sides deny it in the Spy business the dagger is replacing the cloak and that is what this program is [Music] about [Music] self- protection is a primary function of any organism that is as true of the green grass as it is of Continental nuclear Powers since the beginning of man tribes and Clans and Nations have spied on one another Across The Valleys across the oceans and now across the world we watch for the electronic imprint of the enemy's bombers we listen for the whine of his missiles we send beautiful sophisticated machines over his territory to monitor his coded talk to tally his gantries to make inventory of his weapons the very air is full of information for the spies of today much of this for Americans begins and ends in this Building located at Langley Virginia this is the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States government everybody knows it although the sign on the gate reads Bureau of public roads it might have been designed by Ian Fleming seried secret cubicles computers which translate Russian to English at 30,000 words an hour documents burned in a $100,000 furnace this is the Pentagon of the secret War it is a Depot for subversion and a kind of clandestine University for many years its scholarly Headmaster was a super spy in the classic mold named Alan Dulles intelligence is nothing really other than information and knowledge uh from the days of Socrates by various methods and even before that uh mankind has been seeking knowledge of everything that influences his own life or the life of Nation to which he belongs uh but the idea that uh it is necessarily nefarious it's always engaged in overthrowing governments that's false that's for the birds now there are times there are times uh when the United States government feels that the developments in another government such as in the Vietnam situation is of a nature uh to imperil these the safety and the security and the Peace of the world and ask the Central Intelligence Agency to be its agent in that particular situation Mr Dallas I know you've heard this many times that there are people who say that we with regard to the CIA are waging a secret war with an invisible government we are obviously engaged in many facets of what is generally called the Cold War uh which uh the Communist policiy has forced upon us no use denying that that's that's a fact of life but may I say this and I do it with all solemnity at no time as the CIA engaged in any political activity or any intelligence activity it was not approved at the highest level whatever you say about it the CIA has kept busy for the past 18 years this is Laos in Southeast Asia not so much a kingdom as a political playing field for the great Powers some loow ocean Warriors are supplied by the Russians some by the Americans the United States supplies a 100,000 tribesmen with rice and bullets through a sort of air CIA secret contracts with so-called private Airlines one is called air America in all a fleet of 50 aircraft is involved all flown by civilians who are often the target of communist gunfire no we found two of the pilots in a Hong Kong bar a New Zealander named Len cper and an American named Chuck bade reminiscing about their secret flights so as we were flying along I heard uh you know biting into the aircraft yeah and so I looked out the side there and these and the PLS were lined up there about 15 or 20 on each side at practically Point Blank Range one of the boys quit the day after it was a little bit green yeah that's right the men that you knew down there uh and how many guys were killed well it was Serena and Campbell uh ched Brown Woody Baker I'm sorry Woody Ford um Joe Riley good evening good evening how are you tonight wonderful thank you having a nice day just fine everything all right even better since you came thank you what kind of missions actually were you flying down there um with your burd well sometimes we didn't really know you know I mean we would arrive I would arrive down at the um office in the morning and let's say you've got a flight on to um to B right up north right on the Chinese border right in the very Northern end of LA house quite often I didn't even know what I was going to do I just knew that I had a load to take up there and people to take up there I didn't know what they were for I wasn't paid to know all I always paid to do was take them up there really uh I really never knew who who I was picking up I never who was launching me except like a blind date right one blind date in 1953 involved the overthrow of the premere of Iran the CIA was clearly involved the government of mosc if you recall history was overthrown by the action of the Sha now that we encouraged the Sha to take that action I will not deny actually the Sha had tried to fire Premier Muhammad mosad and had failed with the help of CIA and British operatives though he was finally ousted mosad de's crimes had been his nationalization of the great pool of Persian oil and his flirtation with the Russians when it was all over the West had held on to the oil and mosad had only his famous tears the CIA is alleged to have sent this P-51 fighter against Indonesian president Sarno in 1958 Sarno then captured an American pilot named Alan Pope Pope had been flying a b26 bomber for anti sukarno Rebels while working for the CIA well all I can tell you is that we were not uh very happy with Mr sucaro in what was that year 19 58 1958 and I don't think we're very happy with him in 1965 the Congo is a natural and deadly Battleground for American and Russian agents the latest CIA help to the central government is an Air Force piloted by Cubans is it possible that there may have been American agents in the Congo who turned up later in Laos I mean are are are are these men on both sides engaged in these battles around the world oh yes do they meet do they well if they meet too much and are seen too much uh then they use their utility even in Tibet where Rebels fight the Chinese Communists there is the CIA if it would help the CIA would recruit the Abominable Snowman well I'm not going to go into the Tibet situation separately because uh uh we might have got started wandering all around the world and I would uh uh be uh going Beyond of what I even what I know about uh I do think that there are times uh where uh the supporting of uh movements that are favorable to you in a murky situation is one of the best ways of preventing that movement from becoming the communist movement from taking over uh and that has been done from time to time do the Russians have a CIA the KGB is one of the most Sinister organizations that ever was organized are they any good are the Russians good at this oh yes oh my yes you take some of their operations they're classic and when we lost Czechoslovakian uh that was a classic operation uh you take that operation in Cuba uh great skill was shown in that you take several of things they're working on now such as Indonesia the Sudan and and so forth and so on because they have a marvelous apparatus do they spend more money than we do in these activities oh they must do we have an application of Morality In our activities they don't oh far more than they do yes could you talk on that subject well only that as far as I know we don't engage in assassinations and kidnappings and things of that kind as far as I know we never have as far as we know they have and done it quite consistently did you apply for example moral standards to what you did when you were director of the CIA yes I did why uh because I don't think uh given the caliber of the men and women I had working for me I didn't want to ask them to do a thing that I wouldn't do one or two said that even when I assigned the prefer not to do that was all right with me I didn't ask them to do it all I can say is that uh uh I uh I have a Parson son and I was brought up as a presbyterian uh maybe he's a calvinist maybe that made me a fatalist I don't know uh but um uh I hope I have a reasonable moral standard [Music] the man who created the U2 also planned the Bay of Pigs one was a fantastic success but the other wasn't Richard Bissell is now a private citizen and a thoughtful one Mr Bissell it's a truism in our society that moral Ends don't justify immoral means and yet you and your colleagues in the CIA must on many occasions have had to abandon that principle how do you deal with it I suppose that the way people deal with this under all kinds of circumstances and the one that occurs to me as the most prominent historically is is Warfare is that they feel uh a higher loyalty and that they are acting in obedience to to that higher loyalty in my position in the CIA I had a chance to know of and remotely to observe many operations and and I will not deny that there were occasions when the Americans involved in these as it were out on the front had as people do in Wartime uh to undertake actions that were contrary to their moral precepts but I will say that um I think this happens a great deal less often again than one might surmised I think the morality of shall we call it for short the cold war is so infinitely easier than the morality of almost any kind of a hot war that uh I never encountered this as a serious problem the distinction between cold and hot War morality became academic to the crew of this British coaster on the 28th of June 1954 called the Springford she was lying off the coast of Guatemala that day loaded with coffee and cotton that happened to be the time when the American government was overthrowing the Communist oriented government of Guatemala a P38 fighter operated by the CIA flew overhead its American pilot thought the Springford was carrying aircraft to the legal government of Guatemala so he dropped three bombs only one went off while the crew escaped unhe hurt and all 2,000 tons of the Springford now rest on the beach testimony to a rather startling miscalculation this pained the CIA but the whole Guatemala episode pained other Americans some of them influential one of them who was pained and is pained is Senator Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota now if uh if we believe the Constitution says about the responsibility of Congress to declare war for example to have the CIA at the direction of a president actually fermenting or carrying on a war in a country if it were to do this without any kind of congressional approval I think would put some real strain on the Constitution uh it's interesting to note that uh people from small countries or Latin American countries for example uh are always greatly concerned about our CIA because a a Secret Agency of this kind in a relatively small country with a weak government can become the the real force of government and it did happen here Guatemala City the capital of a country where the rich are very rich the poor very poor and the politics all mixed up [Music] Guatemala is the kind of Central American country that used to be called a Banana Republic before people started talking about wars of National Liberation most of the citizens of Guatemala are Indians and most of them live in the shadow of a small wealthy class which owns most of the arable land it is still a plantation society plagued by the economic and pol political illnesses of such a society for most of its history it has been ruled by a dictatorship but as the 1950s began the pendulum swung from right to left and the Winds of Change swept across Guatemala the pendulum swung very far left with the election in 1950 of Colonel jacobo ARB as president he confiscated the lands of the wealthy and filled his government with Communists he became in local and American eyes a menace so the American government through the CIA made an alliance with arb's opposition and as of that moment he was doomed an American who had been a atese at our Embassy there named Fred Sherwood tells how the plot began uh several of us thought that perhaps we could stop this Movement by organizing something in the form of vigilantes or Night Riders for example uh there was a group that tried to uh bring in some Puerto Rican and Cuban gangsters who made an offer a package deal to speak to uh to kill or assassinate any 12 Communists within the country for $50,000 we uh many we went around trying to raise money but uh we were only successful in raising a part of this and so so this did never came off but this demonstrates the desperate situation that was the country was in at that time the American government threw in their forces with these small groups and helped organize these resistance groups to combat the Communist Force existing in Guatemala this help was forthcoming in all sorts of technicians Pilots demolition teams team radio technicians professional psychologists who organized rumor networks these men provided the the knowhow of organizing a successful Revolution we had fortunately two wonderful ambassadors in Guatemala and Honduras Jack purfoy had been selected very carefully as ambassador to Guatemala as he had just cleaned out the Communist in Greece Whitey whau was named ambassador to Honduras Whitey whau was General chanelz Deputy of the Flying Tigers and also formed the Chinese National Airline I am quite certain that if any of the pl flying where the Liberation Army had been shot down some of those Pilots could have spoken Chinese the most important pilot for The Liberation Army however spoke American The Liberation Army was CIA sponsored and directed but it didn't have an easy time in its overthrow of the arbend [Music] regime the Army had bogged down when an American freebooter named Jerry delarm strafed the city and blew up the government oil reserves delarm did that while flying a p47 furnished by the United States now he flies his own load star owns his own Charter service and mins his own business I've been flying in Latin America for ever since 1939 off and on I like it here it's uh easy living siestas and uh not too much rushing no rut it's nice place the first problem I had with Communism down here started back in the time of Colonel casti armas in Guatemala that's when I started just contacted and uh from then on it's about it two days after delarm blew up the oil reserves ARB resigned however his Replacements hesitated to embrace Del's employers so delarm got back in his plane and blew up the main Army Powder Magazine which rather decided the question the replacement for colonel arbz was Carlos Castillo armas the entry backed by the USA he arrived in the American ambassador's plane within about a month there was little trace of the Marxist Innovations of Colonel ARB Mr bessell Guatemala and what the United States and the CIA did there came within your tenure at the CIA do you regard Guatemala as a success I do can you tell me a little more about it why you regard it as a success well I'll give you first an answer that may be slightly bureaucratic in it in its tone but that H in the case of that operation notably as of other large oper operations the whole policymaking Machinery of the executive branch of the government was involved by reason of its nature the CIA had an assigned role which was really in a major role in that operation and I say it's a success because the assigned role was carried out um substantially as assigned there was one sub incident in that which I don't wish to identify in which an action was taken that went beyond the established limits of of policy and I mention it only because you can't take on operations of this covert operations or or or overt for that matter of this scope draw narrow boundaries of policy around them and be absolutely sure that those boundaries will never be overstepped the overstepping in the case of the Guatemala operation the one case I'm aware of mercifully turned out to be of of little significance and to do no political and minor Financial damage to the United States or for that matter to anybody else so I say that it was from the standpoint of an organ ganization commissioned to do a job just an unqualified success but I think the the basic question with regard to Guatemala is whether or not the CIA carried this out on its own initiative in which case it would be wholly improper secondly the question is to whether they carried it out with some kind of presidential Direction uh which if they did would be subject to some question because an action to overthrow an established government is essentially an act of war and it's my judgment that there ought to to be some kind of involvement and some kind of commitment on the part of the Congress to fully satisfy uh the U the Constitution there is more to this story The sanitized Guatemalan regime of Castillo armas lasted for two years and then he met his death in the presidential Palace the killer was a palace Sentry who took his own life therefore no one knows for sure who murdered Castillo armas some of his associates had found him to be too honest and too liberal his was a regime not without corruption and with considerable American [Applause] Aid Guatemala's next president was Miguel igas Fuentes Progressive and pro-american he was plagued by communist gorillas but his downfall came from the right at the hands of his own defense minister Fuentes is now an exile in Costa Rica he tells how he allowed the the CIA to use his country as a training camp for the Brigade of Cuban refugees who landed in the Bay of Pigs to overthrow his old enemy Castro it was very difficult to get the connection until the beginning of 1960 and um then we talked with President eisenh Hower and then he sent some people to my country of course they were not military men they were civilians they presented presented me some credential the credential were from the CIA I have never seen them before and they um ask me not to uh to ask for for principal names only for first names as Peter John James the most difficult of the problem was to look for a place where no spies and and uh and press press men went to to see how they were doing and Mr alos offered his coffee plantation a farm called elesia we we denied as usual all this organization saying that it was only rumors and it doesn't exist any any camp and they they build some roads you know to reach this hidden places and they H built some small barracks in woods but we gather there near 2,000 young men very very enthusiastic with very good trainers this hilly place has just about been taken over by the forest this was the campground of the proud and optimistic Cuban Brigade recruited paid trained supplied by the CIA and perhaps the largest CT operation in the history of subversion what remains now is only the outdoor altar at which the Cubans prayed for victory the cia's Richard Bissell author of The Invasion plans reflects on the Lessons Learned I think this is an unlearnable lesson in any future operation of this kind again there is going to be an operator his eyes are going to be fixed on the success of the operation so far as he is concerned it is going to be desirable to do things that from the standpoint of others in the government will involve major risks in a quite different dimension there is always going to be this incredibly difficult choice and if it's an important issue it's going to be in every case as it was then the president's uh choice I think one of the few things that can be said pretty much as a fact about the Bay of Pigs is that although it might have failed the invasion might have failed in any one of a number of ways it did in fact fail because the battle was lost in the air the most fragile commodity in the secret war is truth this CIA transport is a relic of our Cuban Crusade shot up while dropping supplies over Cuba its American Crew crash landed on this Guatemalan Beach at about that time Washington was insisting that no Americans were involved another criticism is that we always seem to end up supporting right-wing dictatorships Guatemala today this is its military academy has reverted to the Jungle of a military dictatorship the present regime was recognized by the United States less than a month after the overthrow of igoras Fuentes who was the cia's Guatemalan [Music] landlord [Music] well don't we find ourselves supporting right-wing governments all around the world I think it is a characteristic of much of the underdeveloped world that there is no responsible competent Center or even left of center all too often there there is either an an oligarchic regime tribal in some areas or more feudal as in parts of Latin America and others and confronting an opposition that is hopelessly far to the left explicitly communist Allied I take it that a part of our national political objective is to elicit to bring into being to encourage the creation in much of this part of the world of a responsible Center or even left of center well and perhaps we're succeeding uh for instance in in some parts of of uh of Latin America but I think in this sense viewed as a a problem that confronts the nation it has to be admitted that in many places we find ourselves supporting the right not because we're rtists but because there literally is no other alternative to to to chaos or or or to encouragement of those who have made themselves explicitly our enemies there are people in Guatemala today who are explicitly our enemies and this is their handiwork this is what used to be the United States Aid Mission Garage in downtown Guatemala City on New Year's Eve it was invaded by communist terrorists they destroyed 20 American Automobiles and a traveling Library donated by the citizens of Montgomery Alabama the same night the gorillas touched off an explosion at the American Military Mission and tried to set fire to an American refinery thus Guatemalan politics continue following a Melancholy routine the pendulum is still swinging and the new insurgents wanted to swing away from our side to them the alliance for progress is a capitalist abstraction Guatemala today is in a state of Siege since February all of its civil liberties have been suspended Guatemala is subject to terrorism from serious insurgents they have come close to killing colonel haral Hower chief of the American Military Mission they have blown up a truck of soldiers on a downtown Street they have assassinated the chief of the secret police they have held up the office of the United Fruit Company for an $188,000 Hall the CIA says Fidel Castro contributed 200,000 in 1963 alone and it is estimated that the guerillas now number 500 many in these Hills their Chief is a former Guatemalan army officer one of the the leaders of an unsuccessful Revolt in 1960 since then Guatemala's police and army have been hunting him but they can't catch him NBC's Robert Rogers not without difficulty did Rogers found him and interviewed him his name is Marco Antonio Yan SOA why did you take to the mountains in 1960 the fighting began in 1960 one of the main reasons we went to the mountains to begin our struggle was the presence of the United States base at elvetia the Elva Plantation near reto to be more exited their American officers were training anti-castro Cuban mercenaries with the cooperation of the igas FES government that is the one and only thing for which uh we are grateful to the Central Intelligence Agency if it were not for their interference in Guatemala at that time well we might not be fighting in the mountains today they gave our movement its determination com out there have been constant rumors of of uh your people being trained in Cuba this is not true no no no at least uh for the present here in Guatemala there are no people who have been trading Cuba uh fighting with us uh maybe in some other countries but here in Guatemala no where did your uh the officers in your Guerilla movement become such expert jungle Fighters well the best training is uh combat itself but we have some officers who were trained in the United States for Benning at Fort Benning the training they received there was uh very good excellent without training and the support they received from the gualan people they are invincible how much Military Support uh is the United States giving to the Govern government here during the past two years at least they have completely equipped four battalions more than a regiment come Dante in the last two weeks few weeks your organization has burned the American Aid garage here tried to blow up the military Mission and tried to kill the chief of the American Military Mission here Corel Howard was attacked not because he's an American Gringo but because he represents he's a member of an army of the United States forces that are fighting in Vietnam also coron haard is one of the American officers advising the government forces helping them repace the peasants in the areas where our guillas [Music] operate as for the attack on the military mission nor Americans these Americans are instructing the government forces in how to fight our movement I think it's it's only right that we should attack them not because they are Americans but because of what they are doing in our country the attack on the eight vehicles and the garage was for the same reason we oppose United States policy in Guatemala because it is an interventionist policy the Americans come here and put presidents into office and remove them comment Dante last week your your uh men blew up an army truck right in the center of Guatemala City and over the past months have assassinated a number of high government officials do you consider yourself a terrorist see well we have to study very careful the word the terrorist terrorist I know that anyone can feel indignant when a truck Lord of soldiers is blown up in a city street but you must consider the reason for our attack the why maybe uh 20 days ago the unit to which those soldiers belonged went into the mountains of isal they tortured and murdered the inhabitants they also raped a young girl before her whole family so we have to do something to destroy a truck Lord of soldiers or to execute an enemy does not give us a pleasure but we must do these things they serve a higher political purpose what is wrong with us policy as far as uh coming downan is concerned why is he opposed to US policy the alian par Progresso well I believe that the alliance for Progress was inspired by the good intentions but it is too late in order to function at all the Alli need certain basic preconditions they have to present a tax reform agrarian reform but as soon as these reforms are attempted the ruling classes the oligarchy the large land owners and their allies especially here in the case in Guatemala they begin to maneuver against them so they stop all progress how then can we make progress peacefully it's impossible can be done poverty doesn't yield to to shortterm Solutions a political disorder doesn't yeld to it situations like the one that did in fact historically obtain in Guatemala where a small minority had seized the control of a wheat government in a small underdeveloped nation uh situations of this kind really cannot be countered by any combination of actions that I can think of at least in the short run that that can be subsumed under the heading of working to remove the soil in which Communism grows there just do come moments and unfortunately quite a lot of them in world affairs where power has to be exerted and I have long felt that many of the criticisms of that are leveled at this one agency of the government are in fact the criticisms of those who hate to admit to themselves or anyone else that power must sometimes be used uh and as I implied a moment ago they choose to level their criticisms at one piece of the US government in order to make these criticisms more acceptable the activities of the CIA must be secret but the debate about its role in our lives must be public here are the views of three men who who know a lot about it well in addition to the Department of State and the Department of Defense why do we need a CIA it's perly clear that most of our conflict with the USSR and perhaps this is true or will be as true of of China is in the non-military dimension we we are rivals in ideas we're rivals in economic activities we're rivals in diplomacy we're rivals in the exercise of the threat of the use of power but we're also rivals in a whole variety of of uh activities that are not public that are not open they include Espionage they include subversion which more precisely I suppose could be described as the effort to influence the course of events in in other countries uh covertly if we're not prepared to to meet all of these various challenges at their own level I think the consequence is that we we may gradually find ourselves forced to meet them at a level of escalation that we would not choose Senor now that we have apparently acquiesced in immoral acts on the part of the CIA does this imperil our liberties or affect us in any constitutional way hard wouldn't go so far as to as to say it constitutes the president present time a a great threat to our liberties or to constitutional government but I I do think that uh it intrudes somewhat upon the traditional areas of and channels of representative government and of constitutional uh government as you know you get charges and claims and counter claims and counter charges that the CIA uh makes its own policy uh I think that perhaps in some cases it has but whether it makes the policy and then brings it back and has it approved and then goes on to carry it out I I don't know I know that criticism uh but I can assure you that as the Machine Works uh no important decisions are made on CIA evidence alone as far as I know not in any situation that I know certainly wasn't done in Cuba or in Guatemala and these other cases uh you have the charge that it has policies which are different from those which the state department people in the same area may be trying to carry out some of the criticism of the CIA some perhaps quite a part of its reputation uh for being a law unto itself comes from Junior officials who in all honesty see it learn of its activities after the fact and have had no chance to participate in the decisions that prompted these actions to be taken well Mr Bissell would these Junior officials include ambassadors I have known of cases the ones the only ones that I can remember are a good many years in the past when ambassadors have been kept in ignorance of activities of the CIA and the countries to which they were accredited in every case and without exception with the express approval of the Secretary of State at the time I don't think they give a full report uh to any one of the Committees uh to to which they do report they report to Armed Services uh I understand or to some people on the armed services we've had some statements from those who are supposed to receive this testimony that they they really don't know and don't want to know uh what the uh CIA is doing I can assure you that the CIA when I was there as director and I'm quite sure it's the same with Mr mcon has given these commit comm's full information about what it's doing how it's spending its money and how it operates when I appeared before them again and again I've been stopped by members of the Congress and said we don't want to hear about that we might talk in our sleep don't tell us this as I say I I I do feel that the fact that you you have some kind of congressional Supervision in addition to the executive supervision uh would would tend to keep a kind of moral hold against just uh what might become a kind of completely uh uh immoral or or aoral operation at the time of the confirmation hearings on on John mcon I raised the question as to what standards of judgment uh the director of the CIA was prepared to apply to the activities of the CIA and of its agencies and uh I thought the response generally was not very satisfactory it's uh the defense as far as there was a defense was in the name that the CIA was primarily anti-communist well uh this did not really get to the point which I was Raising even when you're dealing with Communists again we've traditionally held that no matter uh who our enemy might be uh we we still insisted on the application of of some measure of moral judgment or of moral standard those who believe that the US government on occasion resorts to to force when it shouldn't should in all fairness and Justice direct their views to the question of national policy uh and not hide behind the criticism that whereas the president and cabinet generally are enlightened people there is uh an evil and Ill controlled agency which Imports this Sinister element into into US policy as citizens of the United States in the second half of this Century we are learning to live with some uncomfortable realities we live in a sort of ethical coexistence with our nuclear warheads and missiles because we acknowledge the inevitability of their possession given the state of the world and our position in it it was inevitable that we acquire these awful weapons but all of us may not realize however is that we have created another weapon system of secret and subversive action this too given the state of the world may have been inevitable we have created elaborate safeguards against the misuse of the WarHeads but the WarHeads are in reserve the CIA is not it is on active duty in a constant secret dirty war safeguards in this area are less effective the problem we have is how to reconcile the necessity of the CIA with its secret offenses against our public morality it's getting more and more difficult to be an American these days and there doesn't seem to be much that we can do about it thank you and good [Music] night [Music]
