INSPECTOR GENERAL OFFICE
OF
SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
1-26-2005
Sir,
The
letter below sent to Colonel Robin Swope, United States Military Academy, West
Point, New York, remains unanswered. The required time for response has
lapsed.
In addition to the requested items below, your office IG Hotline
is also delinquent in responding to charges of Treason in Wartime sent in
2004.
The National Security Council Documents below provide irrefutable
evidence of Treason on the part of the National Security Council members who
blatantly disregarded Presidential Directives issued during said Council
meeting, during Wartime. The results were disastrous.
Then Prince, now
King, Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia is in possession of these NSC documents. The
Cambodian Embassy in Washington, DC is also in receipt of these documents.
The documents below provide notice of additional non-response from
members of the Senate Intelligence Committee (Shelby and Kyl) and the recently
departed Attorney General, who had this information on his desk for over three
years without action or response. Follow-up telephonic communication with the
Duty Officer of the Department of Justice was met with panic and choking when
the term "TREASON IN WARTIME" was broached. There was no response to that
communication, either.
Karl Rove, the Presidents advisor, is in receipt
of the following documents via FAX sent to his White House Office. Therefore,
this information is of no surprise to the current administration.
http://www.geocities.com/larryjodaniel/21.html
http://www.geocities.com/larryjodaniel/22.html
I do believe it is time for a recognition of the allegations and
evidence provided and a comprehensive notice of how your office plans to remedy
this matter.
Background information on this matter is contained in the
following URL's
http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/hall/Mac.html
http://www.geocities.com/larryjodaniel/17.html
The Central Intelligence Agency, after years of denying knowledge of
the information above, has recently responded to an FOIA request for all
documents on this matter by now saying these topics are classified and not
available to FOIA requests. That, in itself, is progress.
This pattern
of abuse re FOIA requests is endemic and must be addressed without further
delay.
If your office follows suit with regard to the non-response to
this request for copies of my Record of Trial, described below, in the allotted
time frame, and the high crimes described in the URL's above, I have no other
recourse than to apply the remedy in our nations judicial
system.

Copy of Record
of Trial by Court-martial
10-08-04
Colonel Robin Swope
Staff Judge Advocate USMA
Dear Colonel Swope,
I experienced
a General Court-Martial conducted on 29-30 January, 1968, at the USARV
Headquarters in Long Binh, Vietnam, resulting in a conviction for the charge of
premeditated murder. Although facing the death penalty, the court, in their
wisdom, sentence me to imprisonment "for the term of your natural life" only.
Sentencing did not include reduction in rank, forfeiture of pay and allowances
nor dismissal from the service. I continued to draw full pay although my
"allowances" were drastically curtailed in violation of sentencing while
incarcerated at the USDB at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas.
Newly found
evidence in the form of a written recantation by the Government's Expert
Witness at trial was presented to the Court of Military Review which
determined, in November, 1970, this information to be "fraud upon the court"
resulting in the setting aside of the conviction and subsequent ruling by a new
convening authority who determined that a conviction at a new trial was "highly
unlikely", resulting in the dismissal of the charge on January 8,
1971.
I noted on the distribution list that the USMA was a recipient of
a copy of this Record of Trial, Case No. CM 417936
I request a complete
copy of this Record of Trial be made a available to me with a waiver for no
cost, since this is "my" Record of Trial. I was unable to maintain the
integrity of the copy issued to me subsequent to trial due to the environment
of the maximum security 5 x 7 foot cell in which I was incarcerated in virtual
isolation for months on end. I also request a copy of all allied paperwork
associated with the Record of Trial at no cost to myself which I was never
provided a copy of, IE, the Article 32 Hearing and the SJA Post Trial Review
and copies of all interviews by CID, CIC and CIA of witnesses at trial.
Further information to assist in your search for the requested
documents:

The New Yorker
Magazine
Greetings,
Kudos to Mr. Hersh for writing this
article:
http://www.newyorker.com/printable/?fact/050124fa_fact
And thanks to the New Yorker for having the courage to publish it!
The
is one item barely addressed by Mr. Hersh. It is almost totally overlooked by
the talking heads of the White House, the DOD, DIA, CIA and State Department
and those broadcasting on CNN from Iraq. You will NEVER see the NSC nor the NSA
broach the following subject which is the essence of the dilemma we face in the
Middle East. You will never hear the Generals from Iraq discussing the fact
that the guerrilla warfare there is alive and well, only that the acts of
"insurgents" (sounds like folks from out of town, eh?) who take their toll on
whomever is in the way. NOT ONE spokesman from State or the Pentagon or DOD
will acknowledge that we are very much involved in a classic Guerrilla
War.
The subject is Terror. Not terrorism, banditry, insurrectionist
activity, but plain old fashioned unadulterated Terror.
Mao Tse Tung's
teachings on and about Guerrilla Warfare, sometimes used in the hushed tones of
"Unconventional Warfare", or UW, are in the lesson plans used by the Special
Warfare School at Ft. Bragg, NC, and elsewhere.
The First Phase of
Guerrilla warfare is Terror.
It is used to convince the population that
the government in power cannot and will not protect the population from
terrorist type actions: Bombings, Assassination, Kidnapping, rape pillage and
burn, severing lines of communication, destroying the infrastructure of oil and
gas services, blowing up bridges, rail yards, churches and mosques. Shooting
policemen and blowing up their district stations, assassinating judges,
lawyers, school teachers, media representatives, clergy, and indiscriminant
targeting of any and all military personnel from all countries involved in the
aggressive war against their nation with the use of IED, indiscriminent
exploding device. There is nothing 'indiscriminent" about a command detonated
explosive. It is designed to detonate for maximum effect at the appropriate
time. An 'indiscriminent' device might very well be detonated by the use of a
"time pencil" which allows those who place the explosive to be long gone by the
time of detonation; another CIA taught tactic.
That’s a relatively
new term for "field expedient demolitions" which are those weapons manufactured
and employed by guerrilla forces in Phase One of UW. All these techniques were
taught to virtually thousands of mid east citizens in virtually every country,
except Israel. These teachings, obviously, have not been
forgotten.
During the Sixties and Seventies Special Forces personnel, at
the direction of the CIA, traveled from Norway to Pakistan, including most
countries in between, and taught the disciplines of UW to the military forces
of those nations. These forces were based in Bad Toelz, Germany.
When
one officer returning from Lebanon in 1962 wrote to his father, then the Army
Chief of Staff at the Pentagon, the good General took his sons' letter, which
referenced all the countries visited by fellow Special Forces A-Teams, and gave
copies to all members at the next meeting of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The
only comment from General Goodpaster was; "I didn't know we had American Forces
in all these countries!"
Two days later, SOTFE, Special Operations Task
Force Europe, CIA Headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany, sent a letter to the
Commanding Officer of the 10th Special Forces Group directing him to order
Billy Goodpaster NOT to write to has father on any other Special Forces
missions in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
Unfortunately,
this same blatant use of Special Forces by CIA has continued during the war in
Vietnam and other countries around the world, without the knowledge or approval
of the Pentagon. They were simply not in the loop, an unnecessary burden on the
goals of CIA, with and without the knowledge of the Presidents along the way.
Some call this Treason in Wartime. Then we also have instances of Rogue CIA
activity in blatant violation of Presidential Directives issued during National
Security Council meetings that were never to see the light of day.
Those
students who were taught UW tactics and the theory of Mao Tse Tung in all the
Middle East countries, save Israel, now have the mind set for taking action as
Guerrilla Warfare warriors. They learned their lessons well.
Phase One
is alive and well in Iraq. Phase One was used by 20,000 Ukrainian Partisans to
halt the entire German Army on the Eastern Front from advancing on Moscow. How
many assets exist in Iraq to do the same thing? It is safe to say that at least
10 million are willing and able. There are 25 million more Muslims in
neighboring countries to assist their brother Muslims as demanded by the Koran.
It should also be noted that Phase One of Guerrilla Warfare, TERROR,
continues throughout the other Phases until the time comes for the tanks to
roll through the palace gates as they did in Saigon in April,
1975.
There is absolutely nothing that can be done militarily to stop
Phase One of Guerrilla Warfare. The only exception to this rule, and it is not
military in essence, is to incarcerate the entire population, the guerrilla's
life source. This was successful one time, in Indonesia when all Chinese, the
support of the movement, were interred. That is the only instance where a
Guerrilla War was not successful, in all of history.
And it will be
many, many years of Phase One activities eventually resulting in our withdrawal
as happened in Vietnam.
We taught these tactics to Osama bin Laden,
Castro, Noriega, Pinochet, Diem, Marcos and Magsaysay before him, and countless
others around the world. We sure know how to pick them, don't we?
My
thanks to Seymour Hersh for including me in his book "The Price of Power" and
to then Prince, now King Norodom Sihanouk, for including me in his book "My War
With The CIA", and thanks to Mr. Charles Morgan, Jr. the author of "One Man-One
Voice" whose Chapter 12 of his book is included in the Bio

Biography
John McCarthy
Captain
U.S. Army Special Forces
To whom it may concern:
Military
Assignments.
I joined Special Forces in June, 1960, 77th SFG at Ft.
Bragg. On July 1, 1960, the 77th SFG became the 7th SFG, I was assigned to the
10th SFG in December, 1960 due to a shortage of my MOS.
I was trained as
an SF radio operator. I qualified for my "3" in April, 1961.
I was then
assigned as an Intel Analyst and worked for Sully Fontaine, the 10th SFG S-2,
Dan Schubert, EC White and Ed White.
In 1962 I graduated with honors
from the 7th Army NCO Academy across the quadrangle of Flint Kaserne and was
promoted to E-5.
I attended the 10th SFG Training School in Lengries,
Germany and was assigned as an instructor in D Company, working for Ralph
Puckett.
My mentors in these early years were Llarkyn Winfred (Rock)
Nesom, Pop Grant and DJ Smith.
I assisted in the training of East
Germans who came into West Berlin via the tunnel system for reinsertion back
into East Germany as agents directed by SOTFE, Special Operations Task Force
Europe, CIA Hq in Frankfurt, Germany.
I was then assigned to an A team
in B Company of the 10th as the junior radio operator with assignments in
France, Greece, and submarine training on the USS Tirante and Tigerone off the
island of Crete.
I was on the European Underwater Recovery Team, the
nuclear weapons team, and the Mountain Climbing Detachment.
I worked
with Displaced Persons such as Jon Novy and others who were the initial cadre
in 1953 when the 10th Special Forces Group was moved from Ft. Bragg, NC to Bad
Toelz, Germany. Many of our DP's were OSS Veterans and carried cover names. Jon
Novy used his real name. He was from Hungary.
I qualified quarterly to
maintain my "3", which requires a proficiency in all of the disciplines of
Special Forces.
I attended OCS and Ranger School at Ft. Benning in 1964
and was then assigned to the 3rd SFG at Ft. Bragg where I attended the Officers
Special Forces Course in 1965. I was then assigned to the 1st SFG in Okinawa
and immediately sent TDY to the 5th SFG in Nha Trang, Vietnam and further
assigned as the XO of an A Team 415 opening a new SF Camp at Ap Bac and Kinh
Quan Hai in 4th Corps, sixty miles West of Saigon in the middle of the Plain of
Reeds. Outside artillery range, we were bait.
After returning to Okinawa
I completed the UDT School and Submarine training on the USS Tunny, SS 241,
where I trained Chinese Nationalists in the art of night infiltration from
submarines while submerged and underway. They were later sent into mainland
China as agent provocateurs directed by the CIA.
I then trained
Nationalist Chinese in the art of High Altitude Low Opening (HALO) night
parachuting from 21,500 feet for infiltration into mainland China, as directed
by the CIA. I was assigned to Taiwan for these activities.
In June 1967
I was on my second voluntary tour in Vietnam and was assigned as the S-3 for
Project Omega working for Pappy Lamar in Plei Djereng, Vietnam.
In
September of 1967 I was assigned as the Case Officer for Project Cherry of B-57
(Gamma) running black terror and assassination teams. This was a CIA operation
run out of the US Embassy in Saigon.

I was carried on the books of the 5th SFG until
murder charges were dismissed in Jan 1971, where I was assigned as the S-3 of
the Combat Surveillance School at Ft. Huachuca, AZ. I resigned and left the
service after 11 years six months and two days of active duty with an Honorable
discharge.
I then became a police officer in Miami, Florida.

Obstruct Justice In A Capital Murder Case to Cover Up the Treason
"ONE
MAN-ONE VOICE"
Charles Morgan, Jr. lawyer, retired and living in
Northern Florida, wrote a book in 1979 titled "ONE MAN-ONE VOICE".
No
longer in print and only available in the reference sections of some major
libraries, Chuck Morgan writes about his various challenges while successfully
defending the likes of Muhamed Ali, myself and others.
Chapter 12,
below, is an example of Chuck's wit and humor. If you have the opportunity to
locate this book, I can promise an entertaining experience and wonderment of
just how troubled our judicial system is in America.
One Man, One Voice
Chapter 12
The following chapter is from a book written by Charles Morgan,
Jr., my attorney during the appellate process. This book; One Man, One Voice is
a compilation of events surrounding various clients of Mr. Morgan. He
successfully represented Muhammad Ali, Howard Levy and others whose Civil
Liberties were trashed by the US Government. The book, published in 1979, is
out of print, unfortunately. It is not available in the San Francisco Library
System, the Phoenix Library System, and there is one copy, sometimes, in the
entire Los Angeles Library System in the Reference Section of the Main Library
in Beverly Hills. Of note is the quote from Washington Post Reporter Murray
Marder. It would take another 21 years to locate National Security Documents
showing Treason in War (see below). The publisher was Holt, Rinehart and
Winston.
Chapter 12
Captain John J. McCarthy of Special Forces had
been tried in secret and sentenced to life for the murder of a "peasant." At
Fort Leavenworth he and Howard Levy were subjected to unusual punishment: The
army made them cellmates. I could understand the kind of army reasoning which
put them together, thinking back to the time I had run away from military
school and they had brought me back just to kick me out.
I could also
understand the logic in Levy's request that I represent McCarthy. I had been
denied access to Levy's low-classified G-2 dossier which held no "national
security" secrets. Access to the highly secret transcript in McCarthy's case
would undercut any "security risk" argument which the army might make to
justify its denial to me of Levy's dossier. If the army refused me "Top Secret"
clearance, neither Levy nor McCarthy would be worse off than they already were,
and McCarthy would be able to assign that refusal as a deprivation of his right
to select counsel of his own choosing.
The prison conference room in
which McCarthy and I met was so small that it turned whispers into shouts. We
sized each other up. He had pale blue eyes. He was wiry, neat even in fatigues,
and of medium height. He talked freely, but he knew more about the charge than
the transcript disclosed. If he had killed that "peasant"---and he didn't
believe he had---he had done so accidentally, and somewhere that peasant had a
service record which would show him to be every bit as skilled and "special" as
McCarthy.
In January 1960, on his seventeenth birthday, John McCarthy
had enlisted in the army. After he qualified as a paratrooper and finished
Special Forces training, he was stationed in Germany. Extraordinarily
competent, his expertise included jumping from airplanes at 30,000 feet and
opening his parachute 500 feet above ground or water, and, if water, swimming
under it.
In October 1964, he completed officer training and was
assigned to a Special Forces organization in Okinawa. Next came Vietnam. He
returned to Okinawa and from there had a number of short-term assignments. On
Taiwan he served on a joint United States---Republic of China team. Later he
worked with a group of military men from the Republic of the Philippines. In
June 1967, when the army sent Levy to prison, it sent McCarthy to Vietnam as an
operations officer. In the early-morning hours after Thanksgiving
night--November 24, 1967--McCarthy, who always operated under civilian cover,
and a Special Forces sergeant, also dressed as a civilian, went to a "safe
house" in Vietnam where "Jimmie," a male Oriental with whom they worked, was
quartered. McCarthy told the sergeant, "Go outside and bring Jimmie." According
to the unclassified portions of the trial transcript, Jimmie was a Cambodian
who belonged to the highly secret Khmer Serie (Free Cambodia). In the wee hours
of that November morning, McCarthy, Jimmie, and the sergeant left Saigon on the
road to Ho Ngoc Tao in a four-door civilian Datsun. The sergeant drove. Jimmie
had been caught possessing documents which jeopardized the security of
McCarthy's secret unit. Jimmie sat in the front seat center. At his right
McCarthy held a 38-caliber Smith and Wesson revolver loosely in his left hand
behind the front seat.
As they amiable chatted there was a loud
"explosion." The windshield frosted into honeycombed cracks. Jimmie slumped, a
hole through his head, blood pouring from his face, dead.
They hid the
corpse under a tarpaulin in a six-foot ditch and returned to the detachment
compound. McCarthy went to bed. The sergeant reported the incident. The next
morning the detachment commander, a non-Special Forces "intelligence officer,"
placed McCarthy under arrest. After sixty days' confinement at Long Binh jail,
known affectionately as LBJ, McCarthy was secretly tried.
His counsel,
Captain Stewart P. Davis, stipulated that "Jimmie," known by several other
names, including Inchin Hai Lam, was dead. He also agreed that McCarthy was one
of the three men in the automobile; that his weapon discharged inside that
automobile; that previous to that "Jimmie" was alive, and afterward he was
dead. The question for the court-martial was How had Jimmie been killed?
Murder? Ambush? Shrapnel? A stray shot? A ricochet from the accidental
discharge of McCarthy's.38? Davis said, "[The prosecution] cannot connect
Captain McCarthy's weapon and the wound."
Davis looks like the
movie-star version of a Special Forces man--solidly built, well tanned, his
quiet approach to the law and life belying an ability to withstand pressure.
After becoming a paratrooper, he graduated from Washington and Lee's law school
and served in the Judge Advocate Generals Corps.
Davis and McCarthy
made an excellent defense team. The lawyer liked his client, who insisted he
had wanted Jimmie questioned, not killed.
Their problem was the
pathologist. He had observed no powder burns on the skin on Jimmie's neck near
the wound, and in his expert opinion any weapon larger than a .25 caliber would
have produced both a star-shaped wound and a burn visible to the naked eye.
Since he found gunpowder within the wound he concluded that the weapon had been
held against Jimmie's body. The .38 would have made a larger hold, and a more
pronounced gunpowder "tattoo." The pathologist said a weapon of .25 caliber or
less had been held against Jimmie's neck. That ruled out an accidental or stray
shot, shrapnel or a ricochet. It also ruled out the possibility that a bullet
had been fired from outside the Datsun. But the window's on the left side of
the automobile had been down, and a motorcycles had pulled away from the "safe
house" and headed up the highway immediately before them. Inside the Datsun,
McCarthy, his .38 **** in anticipation of hostile fire, had speculated on the
mission of the motorcyclist. The sergeant testified that his elbow had been
resting on the window frame when the "explosion" occurred. It was then that
McCarthy's weapon had fired. Had McCarthy's weapon caused that explosion or had
he fired it as a reflex response to another shot?
By saying that the
wound could not have been caused by the .38 at close range, the pathologist
ruled out answers to these and other questions. Under normal circumstances his
testimony would have meant McCarthy could not have committed the crime. But
Special Forces men were trained to defy normal circumstances. They were known
for their ability to obtain and use small, secret. 25-caliber single-shot
devices. So the jury believed that McCarthy had killed Jimmie with a secret
25-caliber weapon, and under that theory, the killing could not have been
accidental.
They sentenced him to life and hard labor and recommended
clemency. That was normal enough. What was unheard of was their refusal to
order a forfeiture of his pay and allowances and his dismissal from the
service.
I entered the case on June 10, 1968. It took the Army 229 days
to prove me "nationally secure." After my clearance on February 25, 1969, I
certified in writing that I had read the statutes which provide for "the
willful or negligent divulging of classified information to unauthorized
persons" and a "penalty of death or imprisonment for any term of years or for
life." In a similar situation, In Muhammad Ali's case, I had refused to accept
wiretap logs covered by a secrecy order. That also was an intuitive judgment
and, in law as in life, "luck."
In Falls Church, Virginia, I was
provided a "secure" secretary for dictation, typing, and clerical work. I
couldn't work on certain aspects of the case in Atlanta, for the transcript and
other documents couldn't leave the Falls Church office building. Later (on
February 8, 1970) in an article in the Washington Post entitled TERMINATED
AGENT MAY HAUNT U.S., Murray Marder would write: "[W]hile comparatively
obscure, the McCarthy case carries a larger potential for international
complications than the celebrated Green Berets case." McCarthy was locked up in
the government's prison, but if Marder was right, the secrets McCarthy knew
made the government his prisoner. In court papers I urged McCarthy be freed,
for he had been deprived of his unqualified constitutional rights to an open
and public trial.
Soon after the August 6, 1969 headline in the Atlanta
Journal---BERET COLONEL, 7 OTHERS CHARGED IN VIET MURDER---I telephoned the
disciplinary barracks. "John, if you haven't told me the truth, if you lied at
the trial, if you've said anything up to now that wasn't true, it is time to
recant."
I want to know every fact which a client reasonable thinks may
have a bearing upon his case. From the beginning McCarthy maintain his
innocence, and even if his story seemed irrational to some, he stuck by
it---tenaciously. I would cross-examine and attempt to trip him up, and ask him
every question I could think of. He remained unshaken and unshakable.
I
explained that Special Forces Colonel Robert B. Rheault and the seven other men
charged with murder in Vietnam had as much chance of coming to trial as did the
CIA or Richard M. Nixon. The desire to cover up, to keep secrets---not from the
Communists but from Americans---would guarantee the release of the Special
Forces men. If McCarthy had lied at trial and to me, but now came out with the
truth, we could tie his case to Rheault's, and the odds would be a hundred to
one in favor of his release.
"I'll be *******ed!" came the response.
"If my own lawyer won't believe me. I told the truth! I don't give a damn if a
rot in here. I didn't kill that man!" When a convict serving a life sentence
angers at the sight of a master key to his cell, it's time that he be believed.
On September 29, 1969, the army dismissed the charges against Rheault
and company and blamed the cover-up on the CIA's refusal to allow its agents to
testify at any trial. Two days later, in the New York Times, the lawyer for a
Green Beret, Henry B. Rothblatt, said that Nixon made that decision.
In
Washington, Stewart Davis conferred with Colonel Pierre A. Finck, chief of the
Wound Ballistics Pathology Branch of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology,
and widely known as the physician who performed the John F. Kennedy autopsy.
Finck told Davis that he was familiar with the McCarthy file and testimony, but
he revealed nothing helpful. Neither did the army attorney who directed Davis
to the right file, which, however, he could not let Davis see. But he placed
the file on the nearby table and left Davis in the room, saying, "There's a
Xerox machine down the hall and a sergeant in the next office."
Alone,
Davis opened the folder. On top there was a memorandum from the prosecution's
pathologist-witness to "Chief, Forensic Pathology Division, Armed Forces
Institute of Pathology." "Because of the small size of the wound and the
absence of grossly visible powder tattooing I originally testified....that the
murder weapon was probably a .22 or .25 caliber weapon."The pathologist went on
to write that he had been "mistaken about the weapon." (Date of Memorandum is
September 8, 1968---Date of Discovery is March 20, 1970)
Based upon the
trial transcript, McCarthy's testimony that he had a .38-caliber pistol, and
the driver's description of the sound as deafening, that his ear were ringing,
and that he experienced "a temporary loss of hearing", the pathologist had
altered his scientific judgment. He wrote, "In conclusion I now think the
victim was killed by a single shot from Captain McCarthy's revolver fired
several inches away from the back of the neck."
So the accidental
firing of the .38 could have killed Jimmie.
Finally, in the secret
world of secret cases, we had begun to win. The report of the pathologist also
mentioned correspondence with "the Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding a
bullet fragment removed from the nasal pharynx from the deceased." This metal
was "enclosed in a plastic envelope attached to the FBI report."
When
we obtained the report it read, "A tiny particle of quartz was stuck to the
surface of the fragment." It also said, "No glass was found." Quartz comes from
glass and glass can come from shattered windshields, so we wanted to examine
the metal fragment. But the FBI and the army had managed to lose it in the
registered mail.
In a Virginia office building, in a hearing open to
the public, I argued for the right of public trial. Then the three officers on
the Court of Military Review, accompanied by their security adviser, adjourned
to a conference room in the bowels of the Pentagon. Outside, soldiers stood
guard which I argued from the secret portion of the record.
On October
29, 1970, we won. Based upon the pathologist's altered testimony, the court
unanimously ordered the convictions set aside. One judge went further. To him,
McCarthy's "record in intelligence and intelligence-related operations, as well
as the military skills associated therewith which he has developed," made it in
defiance of "logic" that he would have murdered "the victim in the manner
developed by the Government at trial and urged upon us during appellate
argument." Terming McCarthy a "proven officer, thoroughly trained in
intelligence operations, well-disciplined and sensitive to the ramifications of
all his actions, not only with regard to the United States but to other
political entities whose interests might be affected," that judge said the
court should have forbidden a retrial. But that decision rested with Major
General W.B. Latta of the army's Strategic Communications Command, under whom
McCarthy was then serving.
On January 6, 1971, I met the general at
Fort Huachuca, Arizona. He concurred in his staff judge advocates
recommendation that a new trial was "not warranted." The charge was dismissed.
Months after John McCarthy honorably left the service, I received an
urgent telephone call. He had applied for a job. He told me of the the county
personnel officer who had received an FBI report on his status.
"I'm
sitting in this man's office and the report at which he's looking says I should
be locked in prison. Would you tell him I'm not an escapee or a convicted
felon?" I did so, as I marveled at the efficiency and concern of a government
which imprisoned together one man who termed its heroes killers, and a hero
whom the government termed a killer, then ignored its own pathologists
recantation, lost a metal bullet fragment transmitted in its registered mail,
and failed to put into its computer the record of the one Green Beret it had
certified innocent.

Should we not send an FOIA request/inquiry to the FBI Inspector
General re Ashcrofts refusal to initiate an investigation on the charges of
treason and obstruction of justice in a capital murder case?
If they
have the temerity to investigate and rebuke their own for screwing up the Sibel
Edmonds case re espionage, why should they not have the same zeal for looking
into real possibility of espionage and sedition in the treason matter involving
the NSC/CIA/State Department? Would not the motive for treason not be
accompanied by the initiative for the treason in the first instance,
espionage?
We know how high the latest espionage exposes have effected
the CIA and FBI?
How far back does it go and is it still being
perpetrated by those in similar positions of responsibility today? Are we that
gullible not to even ask?
Even the Blond Ghost, Ted Shakley, as CIA
Station Chief in Saigon, is suspect for his actions and statements. Too bad his
is toes up. But this is rich, Shakley working for the Soviets all this
time.....and holding positions as Station Chief in Miami for the Mongoose
Operation, Laos and then Saigon. And he even showed up at my
trial!

Sir,
Now that we are upset with the
treatment of our service members and veterans, we take a closer look at
information re a COMMONDREAMS article from Jan 10, 05.
Men and Women in
service have our support regardless. It's the poor souls lucky enough to have
been discarded or lucky enough to still be alive, but limping or blind or crazy
who are now jobless, homeless and without the support of the VA who can not or
will not demand funds for these unsung hero's who feel nothing but undeserved
shame because they can't cope after carrying uncle Sam's guns off to war for
nothing!
Nothing worse than walking down the street, alone, and looking
for a job and a place to sleep, jumping at cars backfiring, looking over one's
shoulder by instinct, fearfull of going in or out of crowds. Man, this sucks.
Where's the drugs? So, you settle for booze and then who wants to interview you
for even menial labor? How utterly devastating and no one cares.....that's what
hurts. You've given your innocence for an uncaring nation who CLAIMS to be
indebted for you service and yet the reality of situation is bleak. And
bleaker.
Well, if we are going to spend another 15-20 Billion more THIS
MONTH on IRAQI propaganda crappola, where is just 10 % of that amount to care
for the lost souls who made up the numbers of 150,000 men and women in combat
or harms way in Iraq over the past 18 months plus? Priorities? You want to talk
priorities!!!!!
To top it all off, a State Department spokesperson said
in a televised news conference on Jan 13, 2005, that all US military would be
out of Iraq by the end of 2005!!!! That statement flies in the face of the VA
saying we can expect several more years of deployments to
Iraq/Afghanistan.
Lets get on the same page, fellas.
Who painted
this scenario anyway?

John - When you were in
Cherry, did the Agency tell you that if captured, with your documentation, you
were an illegal combatant, not entitled to Geneva Protections? Larry
No,
I was so compartmentalized from the agency and the Embassy, I was not allowed
in those areas. They were very extensive on their self protection for a rogue
operation. Adams served as the cut-out. He only went there in civvies. We were
not even allowed to go to B-57 except in emergency cases. They did not
communicate shit to us. Deniability!!!!!! Just gave us Embassy ID and new
names. Terrific! I guess that's what you do when you run a rogue operation, eh?
Lessons learned. And remember, we were forbidden to openly associate with ANY
US military, much less SF, in Vietnam. We had an emergency radio at the safe
house just a mile outside ton son nhut. But no, no instructions what so ever.
Our cover of being a DOD field evaluation team was supposed to suffice. Ha! As
soon as they threatened to sodomize me ala Abu Ghraib, I guess I would have
told them my name, rank, serial number and location of my unit. Screw them!

Thanks -- FYI - Cherry is
about to be discussed again - this time outside of DOJ and will go to the
highest levels of government I can get it to. However, this time, it will be
discussed in terms of why DOD should take over paramilitary ops from CIA. I
have every reason to believe it will get attention that it did not before
because of certain recent activities I have been involved in that I can prove I
was involved in - even though I am not government connected. Cherry will be
discussed, not as we did before, as part of your case directly, but as part of
why CIA has to be taken out of the field because they ran roge operations, hid
rogue operations, and still hide rogue operations - and Cherry is proof of
that. Take care - Larry (DOJ will eventually become aware of it because of the
nature of the project - and it will be mentioned that DOJ did nothing to help
the situation (ala our letter to Ashcroft and
followup)
1-12-2005
It should be pointed out that the CIA, in
it's zeal to protect those with Treason in Wartime hanging over their heads,
resorted to conspiring to obstruct justice in a capital murder case to cover
the treason! No wonder the DOD directive for automatic downgrading of the top
secret record of trial was ruled "not in effect" How quaint. Good luck with you
efforts, Larry.

Thanks, Justin
Lots of
my opinions are based on the following source. Ironically, I was arrested four
years and one day after JFK was assassinated. I had been on in the Alps on the
German Austrian border emplacing a clandestine radio system when JFK was
murdered in Dallas.

100,000 copies of this book, now a free download, were removed from the

Please take the time to peruse this info. It is the bible on such

loss.
Thanks for you kind words.

Unfortunately, those 'part timers' are the
nucleus for 'guerrilla warfare', the Resistance's support. I don't think it
will be advantageous to count their numbers in the hundreds of thousands. I do
believe we will be facing support in the millions. This in itself will lead to
civil war exponentially greater than that witnessed in Serbo/Croatia or South
East Asia combined.
Damn, we are good!
Sometimes it is quite
dangerous and foolish to believe one's own propaganda re the opposition's
potential.
One day in 1966, a reinforced company of paratroopers from
the 101st Airborne Division were called off of a mountain top in Vietnam. As
they walked to the bottom of the valley at sling arms and eating breakfast of C
Rations out of cans, they walked into an ambush.
I was in the recovery
team that was allocated to recover the remains of 180 dead Americans.
The two villages in the valley had been evacuated. The eyes and ears of
the US had been removed.....
And the complicity and arrogance of those
in leadership positions got all killed. It happened more than once.
So
lets not allow the figures spewed out by those with rose colored glasses to
create false security for those Oscillating Richards twisting in the
wind......definition by request on the meaning of 'OR'.
Sometimes,
"Intelligence" can be produced by certifiable idiots whose deductions can not
and will not be questioned.
And now in Iraq we have lost 1400+ KIA (if
you believe the numbers posted by the Pentagon)--and 10,000 wounded-- but those
are pithy numbers for the tens of thousands yet to die and the hundreds of
thousands yet to be wounded, on our side.....there are virtually millions ready
to follow the dictates of the Koran---"Behead all Invaders and non-believers".
We have yet to observe the 'meaning' of Resistance, née
insurrectionists, terrorists, bandits, and dissidents!
Wake up! And
smell the coffee.....has the tsumani taken Iraq out of the news?
Has
Electromagnetic Weaponry, capable of actuating earthquakes, not been available
since 1990?
Are we getting used to casualty rates in the hundreds of
thousands?
All due respect to Mr. Bruce Hoffman, quoted above, who
works for the RAND Corporation, but that outfit is the old Research and
Development CIA think tank HQ in Santa Monica, CA. He must have been a great
"advisor" to be now pontificating from my neighborhod in Sunny California. Take
that for what it's worth.

Treason In
Wartime
in response to an article "No peace on Earth during
unjust war"
December 24, 2004, BY ANDREW GREELEY
Greetings Father
Greeley and a Merry Christmas to you.
Following are URL's containing
once top secret documents and other information declassified by the State
Department in 2000, much to the chagrin of the CIA. Now we know why; treason in
wartime.
These documents are important in that they show a pattern of
behavior on the part of the intelligence community and those who control them
for fabricating information to justify preemptive wars on sovereign nations for
nefarious reasons. We have become the aggressor nation. It is no more glaring
than in the arrogance for continued war in Iraq.
Recently, Gary Webb
took his own life in utter frustration for what his industry did to him. That
is the media. Gary had written DARK ALLIANCE for the San Jose Mercury News re
the cocaine smuggling by the CIA to subvert the will of Congress that the
Nicaraguan conflict NOT be monetarily supported by the United States. Gary paid
a bitter price. Even in death he was vilified by the press for exposing the
CIA, crossing that line, showing that moral courage to expose the black hand of
hypocrites who operate outside our Constitution and against our laws to subvert
the will of the people.
Why not take back our country, our Constitution,
and rid ourselves of this growing scourge? Are we not obligated to remove such
a cancer and restore democracy? Or are we truly living George Orwell's Animal
Farm? Are we that nation of sheep following the Judas Goat (My Pet Goat) to the
slaughter house of tyranny?
When we will have had enough of rape and
torture in the prisons of Iraq, perpetrated by Americans? When will we no
longer hear the screams at Abu Ghraib of those mothers forced to watch their
sons being sodomized by Americans?
How many CIA were dressed in military
uniforms in charge of the torture at these prisons throughout the world? This
is the modus operandi from the Vietnam War, as you will see below. Sources and
methods be damned!
And is it any wonder that NONE of this documented
evidence has seen the light of day in the US media? Is it any wonder that all
this damning information falls on deaf ears and blind editors? Egregious you
say? Read on.
Peruse these documents and see the patterns emerge which
continue to this very day. Witness the blatant disregard for Presidential
Directives issued during National Security Council meetings resulting in chaos
and mayhem. See the unanswered letters to Senators on the Intelligence
Committee and the letters to the Attorney General facing the same
fate.
Is there a greater crime than treason in wartime? Is is any wonder
that the media is complacent with the will of the government instead of it's
watchdog? Does this not smack of the ruse of the Gulf of Tonkin incident?
We have broken all of the rulings handed down at the International
Nuremberg War Crimes Trials. Former Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson became
the Chief Prosecutor at Nuremberg and uttered these words in 1946 while seeking
the death penalty for those defendants. "The standards by by which we judge
these defendants today will be the standards by which we shall be judged
tomorrow". Hypocrisy has come home to roost and it's feathers are soaked with
blood and oil from Iraq.
See the pattern emerge:

the land of the free and home of the brave. The Secret Team, the CIA and it's
allies in control of the united states and the world. 100,000 copies of this
book have been confiscated. The CIA cannot stand the written word. Educate
yourself! It is now available for FREE download at the following site:
