Washington DC. 1985. Summer 1985. Covert Action Publications. Magazine. Very Good In Staple-Binding. 39 pages. magazine. Cover: Native American political prisoner, Leonard Peltier. Credit: Jerry Lower; reprinted with permission of Center for Constitutional Rights. keywords: Magazine Politics. DESCRIPTION - Editorial - In This Issue: This issue of CAIB examines government infiltrators and provocateurs who target progressive groups in the United States. The theme is something of a departure from our usual international focus, but in many ways it complements our previous work. For, in fact, the government's covert operations at home are often mounted against domestic groups which haye demonstrated a global consciousness which see their work inextricably linked with movements for change throughout the world Indeed, when President Reagan signed Executive Order 12333 in December 1981, he expressly gave the CIA the authority to infiltrateand to disruptdomestic organizations concerned with international issues. Now both the CIA and the FBI insist that citizens groups opposing U.S. foreign policy are fair gameeven if no wrongdoing is suspected. Constitutional requirements of warrants and of probable cause have been arrogantly waved aside when the government intones the magic 'foreign intelligence ' words , Another reason this study of infiltration and provocation is timely and appropriate is the apparent naiveté of many progressive people today, especially those too young to have been active during the heyday of COINTELPRO and Operation CHAOS, when the civil rights and antiwar movements were at- tacked by the FBI and the CIA in the 1960s and early 1970s. Too many people, it seems, think that the activities described in this issue of CAIB do not occuror in any event are no longer prevalent. History does not bear out such optimism. We hope this issue will helpnot to foster paranoia, but to engender a healthy realism. We investigate the problems of infiltration and provocation theoretically and historically, and look at a number examples, past and present, including the genocidal attacks on the Native American movement a decade ago (though Leonard Peltier remains in jail to this day), the infiltration of NASSCO steelworkers strike, and the current infiltration of the sanctuary movement. A NOTE ON THE HOSTAGE CRISIS - Whether or not the latest hostage crisis is over when this magazine is on the stands, a few comments are in order. In spite of the nation's zeal to retaliate, it is important to understand that the two most sanctimonious parties, Israel and the United States, have been guilty of equally blatant violations of international law, and on a far greater scale. Israel, in violation of the Geneva Convention, has been forcibly relocating innocent citizens of the lands it has occupied, and has been shown to have engaged in indiscriminate aerial bombardment throughout Lebanon. The United States, through the CIA, has trained, equipped, and unleashed terrorist bands in Beirut. Yet only one side is labeled terrorist. As Marines are shot in El Salvador, humanitarian aid given to the contras, in Nicaragua, and the humiliation of the hijacking festers, the rhetoric of the administration is adopted unquestioningly by the mass media and the Congress. We fear that the same knee-jerk frustration which sanctioned the invasion of Grenada in the wake of the Beirut Marine barracks bombing could lead to a full-scale war. We can only hope that everyone with a sense of conscience will resist such a move by the White House.
