Lesley Stahl, speaking of US sanctions against Iraq: "We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And -- and you know, is the price worth it?" Madeline Albright: "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price -- we think the price is worth it." --Madeline Albright, May 12, 1996 statement on "60 Minutes":

 | Actually a look at how our nation's former policies towards Nicaragua exemplify our callous and anti-Christian foreign policies in the cold-war and post-cold-war world.

The CIA has made clandestine collection of intelligence and covert action normal, routine features of U.S. foreign policy. No more certain way to undermine diplomacy and destroy trust between nations can be found. There is a role for an intelligence agency in monitoring threats of nuclear proliferation, terrorism and perhaps narcotics. Instead of concentrating on these threats, the swollen bureaucracy of the CIA has imposed huge numbers of its operatives on U.S. embassies in countries with open societies. In many overseas posts CIA staff outnumber legitimate diplomats. --Shake the CIA Addiction or Call Off the Spies by Robert E. White
