CIA Refuse To Release Nazi Papers

UPI | January 31 2005

Comment: The CIA won't release the papers because the Nazi war criminals were recruited by their predecessor orgaization, the OSS, via Operation Paperclip. This is part of the historical record.

The CIA refuses to provide documents sought by the U.S. government under a law requiring disclosure of classified records related to Nazi war criminals.

"Under the 1998 law, the spy agency has already provided more than 1.2 million pages of documents. Some of the papers made public last year showed a closer relationship between the U.S. government and Nazi war criminals than had previously been understood.But for nearly three years, the CIA has nixed requests for more records, Congressional officials and some members of a government working group told The New York Times.
The officials believe the stance seems to violate the law and say the agency has sometimes agreed to provide information about ex-Nazis, but not about the extent of the agency's dealings with them after World War II.
"I think that the CIA has defied the law, and in so doing has also trivialized the Holocaust, thumbed its nose at the survivors of the Holocaust and also at Americans who gave their lives in the effort to defeat the Nazis in World War II," said Elizabeth Holtzman, a former congresswoman from New York and a member of the group."

2. Gen. Reinhard Gehlen head of the Eastern front (Auschwitz)

was one of many brought to the US as advisers to various Intel networks here in the US. Approx. 1500 of these Nazi technocrats as well as the much publicized Operation Paperclip scientists came to the US. The ostensible reason for the operatives and other Nazi espionage folk coming here was that they would have the best Intel on the USSR. When the CIA was set up in 1947 the main US functionary and first head of the CIA, Allen Dulles, used Gehlen as one of his primary advisers on operations.

3. They did a horrible job vetting the Nazi's after the war....heck just

north of me in Sullivan County they found a couple ex-concentration camps guards. This puke lived in and amongst the largely Jewish population there.

6. or a very GOOD job. Depends on what they were trying to accomplish

Myself, I think the Busheviks, even long before they served the Bush Crime Family, got EXACTLY what they wanted out of Operation Paperclip.

4. A really good book about this subject is...

The Paperclip Conspiracy by Tom Bower. Very well researched. Highly recommended.

7. No, it was written a long time ago.

It is about the efforts the United States made to bring Nazis to America to work in the American defense industry.

It's not about the current administrations unwillingness to cough up any old documents. So much information is known about this already, I don't think more is really needed for a case to be made against the US Government for it's actions after WWII.

But we don't want any information to get out that might be unflattering to the US, now do we?
