The man at the helm of the original coverup schemes, JIOA Director Bosquet Wev, was promoted to the rank of rear admiral. He retired in 1957, having become commanding officer of the naval station in Norfolk, Virginia. The project's godfather in the late 1940s, Director of Intelligence Stephen Chamberlin, was promoted from major general to lieutenant general, assumed command of the Fifth Army in Chicago, and retired in 1951. Among those closest to the Germans, Army Air Forces Colonel Donald Putt eventually was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general in the U.S. Air Force. Putt retired in 1958, having held the position of military director of the Scientific Advisory Board to the Air Force Chief of Staff. >"JIOA Director William Whalen was incarcerated in the federal penitentiary at Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, in 1966 for his espionage activities <for Russia>, and was paroled just six years later." >"The instigator of the European and Argentine conspiracies, EUCOM Director of Intelligence and Inter-American Defense Board chief Robert L. Walsh, was promoted to the rank of brigadier general and died in 1985. His deputy at EUCOM in 1947, Colonel Robert Schow, was named assistant director of the CIA in 1949. Schow took over as godfather to Paperclip in 1954, when he was promoted to major general and named assistant chief of staff for intelligence in Washington." >p. 259 - "...<Dachau's> Hubertus Strughold was named chief scientist of the Aerospace Medical Division for the U.S. Air Force in 1961...in 1985 the Texas Senate declared June 15 of that year 'Dr. Hubertus Strughold Day.'" >"...former Peenemunde general Walter Dornberger became vice president of Bell Aircraft company and was never even questioned about his role in that deplorable affair. And this summer, when tourists converge on the Kennedy Space Center, all will pass by a portrait of former SS member Kurt Debus that hangs in the entrance in honor of Debus's service as the center's first director. >"Accused war criminal Arthur Rudolph lives in Hamburg, West Germany, collecting retirement checks from both the U.S. government and the German government. But at least he is barred from U.S. entry." >p. 260-261 - "As for the project that brought them here, no one reading this book should be surprise to learn that nothing has changed. >"On August 10, 1989, the Pentagon quietly announced that there were exempted positions in Department of Defense installations that would be filled under the 'program for utilization of alien scientists.' The program is still run by the Research and Engineering Department, which took over Paperclip when the JIOA shut down in 1962." >"Thirteen of the new recruits work at NASA, including a world-renowned climatologist. 'We don't beat the bushes to find them,' said Robert Nance from NASA's Office of Policy. 'We hire them in rare circumstances where their skills are so unique they can't be found in America, like work on teflon skins, or other specialists like we had with Wernher von Braun.' The scientists at NASA work at Langly Research Center, Ames Research at Moffet Field, California, and Goddard Space Flight Center." >"Former JIOA Director Benjamin Heckemeyer was close-mouthed about Paperclip in a telephone conversation in 1985. What little he did say, however, is a perfect summation of the whole sordid affair. 'Paperclip's a can of worms,' he said and hung up the phone." >p. 267 - "Some think it is excessive, even obsessive, to continue investigating and prosecuting such <Nazi criminals>. However, former OSI director Allan Ryan, Jr., may have had a more accurate perspective: 'To grant these people repose from the law...would mean that their thirty-five years of silence and our thirty-five years of inaction somehow atone for their awful crimes, and that justice is the result.' Already, in some cases justice delayed has meant justice denied, as the perpetrators have died. >"Obviously the Paperclip story is not over. But the end of the cold war has given us the opportunity to cast off once and for all the kind of thinking that created and justified such operations. No matter how necessary intelligence activities may be, they cannot be allowed to operate unchecked, in secrecy and darkness, shielded from the democratic process of accountability. >"Otherwise, in the end we become our own worst enemy. Edgewood already has provided us with a horrifying example of the true legacy of the cold war, which lies in the stories of James Stanley and other soldiers who were treated like laboratory rats. In essence we used Nazi science to kill our own people. >"It is not necessary to violate America's laws to achieve our national goals. The era that gave rise to such flawed thinking is over. We may never be completely rid of the atrocities it spawned. But there is no reason to perpetuate them any longer." ------ Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.
