Quote by Clark Zlotchew

“The door suddenly opened. A leggy young brunette took two steps into the office and stopped short. Her brown eyes widened, she hastily excused herself and turned to leave. Pérez’s jaw dropped as he looked up at her high heels and ankles. He crawled out from under the desk and turned questioningly to his partner. Thorne didn't hesitate. He took one swift stride from behind, clamped a hand tightly over her mouth, and pulled her back into the room, disregarding her wildly flailing legs and frantic attempts to claw his hands away. He shut the door with a backward thrust of his foot. "What do we do now?" Pérez whined. "Observe." Thorne spoke calmly, as would a professor demonstrating a familiar operation to a beginner. Using both hands, he briskly snapped her neck. She stopped struggling.”

“It is fair to dismiss the CIA’s claims that its work in Hollywood primarily constitutes educational outreach or a drive toward accuracy. Rather, its work is best assessed as government propaganda that is at times both self-aggrandizing and covert.”

“Despite the impassioned rhetoric of angry agents and conservative critics, the Church Committee hearings and Carter’s reforms did not dramatically alter the CIA’s operational capabilities. The agency still maintained a massive network of intelligence officers, agents, and assets around the world. Nor did the reforms signal an unwillingness of liberals to use covert action as, by 1979, Carter had authorized the CIA to arm and supply rebel groups in Afghanistan. Instead, the most important consequence of the Church Committee hearings registered outside of the state. The personnel cuts created a pool of politicized covert warriors with no place to go. Free from their jobs in the U.S. government, embittered by the firings, and eager to reclaim power, many turned to the private sector and the world of conservative activism for employment.”

“The CIA began conspiring with right-wing military officers and funding a group of radicals that would grow into Patria y Libertad, an anti-communist terrorist group known for its hideous geometric spider logo and sympathies with fascism.”
