CIA Faces Pressure to Divulge Ties to Ex-Nazis
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. senator demanded on Wednesday that the CIA director release thousands of pages of documents detailing the agency's ties with former Nazis who aided in Cold War espionage against the Soviet Union, officials said.

Sen. Mike DeWine of Ohio, Republican co-author of a 1998 bill ordering the disclosure of government records on Nazi war criminals, wants CIA Director Porter Goss to say publicly why his agency has not agreed to divulge the records.

DeWine has asked Goss to appear this month at an open hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee, on which the Ohio lawmaker sits, a Senate aide said. The CIA had no immediate comment on the invitation.

"Sen. DeWine wants an explanation from the CIA. Our hope would be to have (Goss) there and that's what we're working toward," said DeWine spokeswoman Amanda Flaig.

1. Because Goss was put in that position to protect the Bush family
and their cronies, who for decades worked with the Nazis to further fascism's dominance.

4. Plus it goes beyond...into the JFK assassination, as Brussell's research
Edited on Wed Feb-02-05 05:53 PM by EVDebs
disclosed through Operation Paperclip and all those White Russian bad 'character refernces' to Oswald and military intelligence ...

"By the time President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 Mae was married with five kids and living in Southern California. Like many Americans, she wasn't convinced that Lee Harvey Oswald had acted alone in the assassination, so she bought the 26-volume Warren Commission Hearings and began reading, filing, and cross-indexing. With the massive addition of books, articles, and government documents, Mae not only found connections to the CIA and Germany, but began to see relationships to many other current and past events throughout the world.
Mae began to realize that the international terrorist network that made up the Axis powers during World War II had effectively gone underground and continued their worldwide fascist campaign even before the War had officially ended. As one country after another changed hands, Mae recognized many of the same familiar names, methods, and tactics that were used to swallow up Germany in the 1920s and 1930s." From

5. Because he'll quietly go away at the appointed hour and everyone
will be convinced that every resource had been exhausted?

6. Project paperclip, Prescott, etc.
Man, what a mass of maggotry would be exposed if that carpet ever gets lifted. Unlikely for another century or two, though.

Kinda funny how they bite the hand that feeds them when the public turns up the heat on them.
