On Tuesday, June 26, 2007 the CIA released a memo from the CIA
Director of Security to the CIA Management Committee ( CIA
Director, Deputy Director, etc.) The memo lists “illegal
operations” conducted by the CIA from March 1959 to June 1964.
These projects are what the CIA considers the “skeletons” in the
CIA closet. The memo entitled the list “FAMILY JEWELS.” JEWEL # 1
is presumably the most important and egregious on the list. Yet, it
is still completely censored 35+ years after the memo was written.
Given the other items on the list include CIA-Mafia plots against
Fidel Castro and the role of Attorney General Robert Kennedy is
planning assassinations, why is JEWEL #1 still censored? To see
this page, click JEWEL # 1. Following the summary list are
explanations of each item. Every single word of the 3 page
description of JEWEL # 1 is completely censored. Every single word.
What are they hiding 35 years later? To see the whole document,
click FAMILY JEWELS. My thanks to the National Security Archives
for helping to make these documents available to the public. Is
FAMILY JEWEL # 1 the bio-weapon discussed in Dr. Mary’s Monkey? If
they will disclose it, I will stop speculating. In the meantime, I
think it is a fair question. >>> Ed Haslam

Where's the CIA's Missing Jewel
http://www.thenation.com/blogs/capitalgames?bid=3&pid=208296
What's the missing jewel?
Today, the CIA released its infamous "Family Jewels" file. This is
a set of internal memos compiled in the mid-1970s after press
reports revealed numerous CIA dirty tricks. In 1973, CIA director
James Schlessinger, having learned that Watergate burglars E.
Howard Hunt and James McCord (each a CIA veteran) had been in
contact with the Agency while carrying out illegal activities for
President Richard Nixon's reelection campaign, ordered divisions
within the CIA to report any activities they had engaged in since
1959 that might be outside the CIA's authority. Deputy Director
William Colby then assembled a loose-leaf notebook of the memos
that poured in. The whole package totaled 700 pages. And though its
existence has been known for years--congressional investigators of
the 1970s had access to these documents--this secret file has never
before been made public. It was considered to hold the agency's
darkest secrets.
Many of these secrets did emerge during the congressional
investigations of the 1970s: the joint CIA-Mafia attempt to
assassinate Fidel Castro; CIA surveillance of American reporters
and political dissidents; the CIA's secret jailing for three years
of a suspected Soviet agent (who was not a Soviet agent). The newly-
released documents are full of fresh details about some of these
notorious episodes. But at least one of the "Family Jewels" seems
to be missing.
The first document in the packet is a 1973 memo from Howard Osborn,
then the CIA's director of security, to the CIA top management, and
it summarizes the "jewels" compiled by his office. It lists eight
problems--including the recruitment of mobster Johnny Roselli for
the Castro hit. But blacked out from this document is the first
item on Osborn's list. And a two-and-a-half page description of
this operation is also redacted from the "Family Jewels" file.
In a recent speech, General Michael Hayden, the CIA's director,
hailed the declassification of the "Family Jewels." He remarked,
"The documents provide a glimpse of a very different time and very
different Agency." Yet the very first secret in these papers has
been deleted.
"The No. 1 jewel of the CIA's Office of Security is probably a
pretty good one--especially since the second jewel in this list is
the Roselli/Castro assassination program," says Thomas Blanton,
director of the National Security Archive, a public interest outfit
that filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the "Family
Jewels" fifteen years ago. There are many other deletions in the
"Family Jewels" file, and in most instances there's no telling
exactly what has been excised. But much of the censored material
seems to be related to how the CIA has created cover and fake
documents. "This is probably justifiable," says Blanton, because
such operational secrets may still be relevant today. But the
missing jewel? Assassination? Domestic spying? Something
unimaginable? "We just don't know," says Blanton.
All in all, Blanton notes, the file is not as explosive as CIA-
watchers might have anticipated. "These are the 'Family Jewels'?"
he asks sarcastically. "Much of this came out years ago. So how
could the CIA justify keeping this stuff secret for 30 years? This
is not really as informative as the [previously released] inspector
general's report on the Castro assassination plots."
There are, however, intriguing tidbits scattered throughout these
hundreds of pages. Here are a few:
* In a June 1, 1973 memo written to Colby, Walter Elder, who had
been executive assistant for John McCone, the CIA director in the
early 1960s, outlined "activities which to hostile observers or to
someone without complete knowledge...could be interpreted as
examples of activities exceeding CIA's charters." One such
activity, he noted, "involved chemical warfare operations
against...." The target is redacted. This operation, according to
Elder, never went beyond the planning stage.
* In the same memo, Elder reports that discussions within the CIA
chief's offices were recorded and transcribed: "I know that any one
who has worked in the Director's office has worried about the fact
that conversations within the offices and over the telephones were
transcribed. During McCone's tenure, there were microphones in his
regular office, his inner office, his dining room, his office in
East Building, and his study at his residence on White Haven
Street. I do not know who would be willing to raise such an issue,
but knowledge of such operations tends to spread, and certainly the
Agency is vulnerable on this score." Secret transcripts of
conversations involving CIA directors? According to Blanton,
there's never been any public indication that McCone or other CIA
directors bugged themselves. Transcripts of such discussions could
contain plenty of jewels. The National Security Archive is already
filing a Freedom of Information Act request.
* One memo notes that CIA had a Project OFTEN that collected "data
on dangerous drugs from U.S. firms" until the program was
terminated in the fall of 1972. Another memo reports that
commercial drug manufacturers "passed on" to the CIA drugs
"rejected because of unfavorable side effects" These drugs were
then tested using volunteers from the U.S. military.
* During the internal review that led to the creation of the
"Family Jewels" file, a top CIA official suggested that the CIA
director keep himself in the dark about MKULTRA--the Agency's mind
control program run by Sidney Gottlieb, a psychiatrist and chemist.
As part of this program, the CIA slipped LSD and other psychoactive
drugs to unwitting subjects. (Gottlieb, according to another
document in the file, was supposed to have provided poison in for
an assassination attempt against Patrice Lumumba, the anti-colonial
prime minister of the Republic of Congo. After being deposed in a
1960 coup, Lumumba was shot and killed by Kantangan forces.)
* CIA employees assigned to MHCHAOS--the operation that conducted
surveillance against American opponents of the Vietnam war and
other political dissidents--expressed a "high degree of resentment"
about being given such a mission.
* The CIA "performed image enhancement techniques" on video footage
of the television show of columnist Jack Anderson, who had received
leaks of top-secret CIA documents. "The purpose was to try to
identify serial numbers of CIA documents in Anderson's possession"--
presumably documents he held up or that were on his desk. The memo
on this operation does not say if the effort succeeded.
Hayden, the CIA chief, deserves some credit for releasing the
"Family Jewels," and he wants the public to believe that his CIA is
not your father's CIA, which plotted assassinations, illegally
opened mail, and spied on American political dissidents. But the
CIA in recent days has run secret prisons and used interrogation
methods that either involve torture or border on torture. (The
details are sketchy.) And the National Security Agency has used
warrantless wiretaps to eavesdrop on American citizens and
residents. Moreover, as the release of the "Family Jewels"
demonstrates, there still are secrets from the past the CIA will
not disclose. Are these legitimate secrets that ought to be kept
from the public to protect national security, or are they
embarrassments the Agency is not willing to face? Only the secret-
keepers of the CIA know which jewels remain buried.
The entire "Family Jewels" file and related documents can be found
at the website of the National Security Archive.

AND THE SELLING OF THE IRAQ WAR
by Michael Isikoff and David Corn.
======================
Ed Haslam, the author of Dr. Mary’s Monkey, was born in Kansas
where his family had lived for several generations. His grand-
parents were the school-teachers and country-doctors of the
prairie. Shortly after his birth in 1951, his father (who had just
returned from Harvard and the U.S. Navy) accepted a position
teaching at Tulane Medical School in New Orleans. During the next
35 years that Ed Haslam lived in New Orleans, he personally heard
and saw things that involved the investigation into the Kennedy
Assassination, the murder of one of his father colleagues, and
claims of biological weapons to be used for political purposes.
Haslam’s 1969 comment: “If there is a bizarre global epidemic
involving cancer and a monkey virus thirty years from now, at least
we’ll know where is came from” states his concerns clearly.
