Sortis vainqueurs d'un conit qui précipita le déclin de l'Europe, les États-Unis héritent, avec l'Union soviétique, du sta- tut de super-puissance. À la tête de la seule puissance atomique en 1945, le nouveau président Harry S. Truman apparaît décidé à appliquer les enseignements tirés de l'échec de la politique wilso- nienne de l'après-Grande Guerre. Confortée dans cette voie par l'incapacité militaire démontrée par les puissances européennes lors de la guerre et par les doutes qui entourent les desseins soviétiques, l'Amérique se voit contrainte de renoncer à la tra- ditionnelle politique isolationniste qui l'avait jusque-là tenue à l'écart des « vicissitudes ordinaires des aaires européennes 1 ». Pour faire face à ce rôle totalement nouveau, les dirigeants amé- ricains se retrouvent dans l'obligation de mettre à jour les insti- tutions fédérales. Cette profonde réforme de l'appareil gouver- nemental est rendue possible par l'arrêt des hostilités sur les théâtres européen et asiatique. Elle sera le principal fait du pre- mier mandat du président Truman. Ce débat qui occupa l'en- semble de la bureaucratie américaine permit de voir l'émergence du concept de « sécurité nationale ». Cette nouvelle conception de la défense qui tend à rapprocher diplomatie et action militaire 1. Discours d'adieu de George Washington à la nation américaine.

Cette loi du 26 juillet 1947 prévoit entre autres, l'unication des départements de la Guerre et de la Marine qui aboutira en 1949 à la création du Département de la Défense. Mais un des aspects les plus novateurs de cette loi est sans doute la réorganisation de la communauté du renseignement autour d'une agence centrale : la CIA (Central Intelligence Agency). Pour la première fois de son histoire, le gouvernement des États-Unis a à sa disposition une agence de renseignement, ava- lisée par le Congrès et dotée d'un budget indépendant. Sous la tutelle du Conseil de sécurité nationale ou National Security Coun- cil (NSC), la CIA est chargée de mener les activités de renseigne- ment à l'extérieur du territoire national. Bien que n'étant pas la composante la plus imposante de la communauté qu'elle dirige, the Agency, comme elle est surnommée, occupe un rôle de pre- mier plan dans l'élaboration de ce qui va devenir la politique de guerre froide. On comprend aisément qu'elle ait joué un rôle déterminant dans la lutte qui opposa l'Amérique à cette société fermée qu'était l'Union soviétique. Néanmoins, cette moderni- sation de l'appareil de renseignement national que constitue la création de la CIA n'est que l'aspect nal d'un long processus qui fut enclenché sous l'Administration Roosevelt. Un des prin- cipaux aspects de ce processus est sans conteste la création, par le président Truman, du Central Intelligence Group (CIG). Cette organisation est remarquable dans la mesure où elle constitue la première véritable expérience d'une coordination interdéparte- mentale des activités de renseignement en temps de paix. Le terme de renseignement (intelligence) est le plus souvent, et le plus simplement, synonyme d'information. Le National Secu- rity Act le dénit comme regroupant l'ensemble des « informa- tions concernant les capacités, les intentions et les activités d'un gouvernement étranger, d'un organisme étranger ou d'une per- sonne étrangère ». Le Département de la Défense le dénit dans l'édition 1974 de son Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms comme le résultat d'un processus de « collecte, d'évaluation, d'analyse, d'intégration et d'interprétation de toute information 10 PĹuĎbĘlĽiĂcĄaĹtĽiĂoŤnŇŽ ĂdĂe MĂoŤnĹtŊpĂeĚlĚlĽiĂeĽrĞ 3 — UŢnĂe ĂqĹuĂeŊsĹtĽiĂoŤn?

  • THE OLD BOYS the American Elite and the Origins of the CIA
    THE OLD B OYS The American Elite and the Origins of the CIA BURTON HERSH Expanded, unexpurgated, and with an updated preface INTRODUCTION THE OLD BOYS The American Elite and the Origins of the CIA In 1961 I was a kid attempting to break into magazine free-lancing. The Bay of Pigs debacle had barely overtaken the Kennedy administration, and through a well-intentioned friend I finagled an audience with the highly regarded progressive Carey McWilliams, long since the rock and senior brain around The Nation of that era. McWilliams’s editorial office was small, I remember, with an ink-blotched, chipped-up desk that looked as if it had been dragged into an alley behind some principal’s office somewhere and rescued by liberals from the Department of Sani- tation. The plaster was grey, and crazed into cracks in a great many places, and smeared with a formless crescent behind where McWilliams tilted back his creaky oak chair and impatiently rubbed his scalp against the wall while hashing up story ideas. Amidst all this atmosphere, McWilliams came right to the point. What with the end of the Eisenhower administration and the Cuban misadventure, the CIA was accessible for the first time. The moment was ripe to dig out a full-length exposé of the Agency, until recently seemingly untouchable. The Allen Dulles era was mani- festly at an end. How about starting in for the magazine with that assignment? There could be no guarantee, but the magazine would probably pay expenses up to thirty dollars. At that time of my life I had no experience of any kind with investigative jour- nalism, a single friend with a couch in the entire D.C.

It is a masterfully researched and documented account of the evolution of a national SIGINT effort following World War II, begin- ning with the fragile trends toward unification of the military services as they sought to cope with a greatly changed environment following the war, and continuing through the unsatisfactory experience under the Armed Forces Security Agency.
