Description
Excerpt from Cia''s Use of Journalists and Clergy in Intelligence Operations: Hearing Before the Select Committee on Intelligence of the United States Senate, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session on Cia''s Use of Journalists and Clergy in Intelligence Operations; Wednesday, July 17, 1996
There''s a certain concern about even a discussion of these mat ters to any extent publicly, because it gives currency and publicity to this kind of an issue. But I think those who would retaliate and those who would make an example of journalists, as they did of Terry Anderson - who will be a witness here today - those people are fully aware of this potential.
It''s a matter of considerable interest and there ought to be public consideration, congressional consideration, to try to formulate a policy.
We have a very distinguished group of witnesses this morning. Senator Paul Coverdell will be our lead witness in accordance with our practice to give deference to members. Senator Coverdell brings a unique experience as having been the Director of the Peace Corps. We had asked the Peace Corps to send a representative here today and that was not - I''m not sure quite why not, but it was not doable or not convenient.
