John Stockwell (CIA officer) - Wikipedia
"As a
Marine, Stockwell was a CIA
paramilitary intelligence case officer in three wars: the
Congo Crisis, the
Vietnam War, and the
Angolan War of Independence.
"His
military rank is
Major.
"Beginning his career in 1964, Stockwell spent six years in Africa, Chief of Base in the
Katanga during the
Bob Denard invasion in 1968, then Chief of Station in Bujumbura, Burundi in 1970, before being transferred to
Vietnam to oversee intelligence operations in the
Tay Ninh province and was awarded the CIA
Intelligence Medal of Merit for keeping his post open until the last days of the fall of
Saigon in 1975.
"In December 1976, he resigned from the CIA, citing deep concerns for the methods and results of CIA paramilitary operations in
Third World countries and testified before Congressional committees.
"Two years later, he wrote the exposé
In Search of Enemies, about that experience and its broader implications.
"He claimed that the CIA was counterproductive to national security, and that its 'secret wars' provided no benefit for the United States."
Aside from the obvious financial benefits for the US investor class?
