Resumen Muchas de las acciones del ejército de los Estados Unidos durante la guerra de Indo- china, en las que se utilizó la capacidad de disparo en una escala sin precedentes, eran potenciales generadores de indignación en Indochina, en los Estados Unidos y en otros lugares. El examen de tres aspectos interconectados de las operaciones militares de los Estados Unidos en la guerra de Indochina (los bombardeos, el Programa Phoenix y la masacre de My Lai) proporciona numerosos ejemplos de cómo trató el gobierno esta- dounidense de impedir que sus acciones generaran indignación. Los métodos usados se pueden clasifi car en cinco categorías: ocultamiento de la acción; minusvaloración del objetivo; reinterpretación de la acción; uso de canales ofi ciales para hacer parecer justa la acción; fi nalmente, intimidación y soborno de personas implicadas.

INTRODUCTION Shortly after I resigned my position as General Counsel of the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department in 1971, I was startled to receive a two-page letter from Attorney General John Mitchell. I was not a Department of Justice employee, and Mitchell's acquaintance with me was largely second-hand. The contents were surprising. Mitchell generously lauded my rather modest role "in developing an effective and professional law enforcement program for the District of Columbia." Beyond this, he added, "Your thoughtful suggestions have been of considerable help to me and my colleagues at the Department of Justice." The salutation was, "Dear Jerry," and the signature, "John." I was elated. I framed the letter and hung it in my office.

  • The 'Healthful Effec of Leaked Secrets
    Daniel Schorr Pr/ 77 The 'Healthful Effec of Leaked Secrets Adm. Stanfield Turner, director of Central Intelligence, who will be testi- fying on the CIA and the media be- fore a House Intelligence subcommit- tee during the congressional recess, has raised a fundamental issue in his Dec. 7 op-ed article in The Post. It is whether our society should "trust the judgment of its public servants re- garding what should and should not be withheld from the public." It is undisputed that no govern- - went can accept free-wheeling dis- closure by individual decision as a way of life. Responsible officials will obviously seek more effective ways to enforce their secrecy rules. The question is whether a popular con- sensus exists—or should be en- couraged to come into being—in support of this idea. The issue is far from academic. The intelligence community is seek- ing to create a climate in which it can obtain legislation tightening the lid on secrets by making public serv- ants criminally liable for spilling secrets. It is reverting to a concept that once commanded general ac- ceptance and, to a certain extent, still does, even among some in the By Geoffrey Moss for The Washington Post press. New York Times columnist C. L Sulzberger recently wrote, "I do not see what right the press has to publish military secrets endangering their country's survival merely be- cause Xerox machines make docu- ments available to informers." To win its case, however, the security establishment must overcome the ef- fects of our recent past.

Memories of the Ellsberg Break-In transcribedremarks of THE HONORABLE STEPHEN TROTr* Introduction by Fred Altshuler, Esq.: As a deputy district attorney in Los Angeles County, Stephen Trott prosecuted presidential assistant John Ehrlichman and G. Gordon Liddy for the burglary of the office of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist. I would now like to ask Judge Trott to give some of his views of the type of White House conduct that occurred during the Watergate era. Judge Troll: I had a fascinating window into this whole business. I was a deputy district attorney in Los Angeles County in charge of the organized crime division. I spent my time on cases involving CIA- trained Cuban bombers, militants shooting up UCLA, drugs, a rattlesnake being placed in the mailbox of a lawyer who was suing an operation called Synanon, and various pornography cases involving X-rated films like "Deep Throat" and "The Devil and Miss Jones." One odd day, my boss, Los Angeles County District Attorney Joe Busch, called me in and said: "Get your butt over to federal court, someone named Howard Hunt is about to blow the whistle on a burglary in Beverly Hills." Now, what was going on? In June of 1972, the Watergate break-in took the lid off this whole thing.
