Ex-agent brands CIA as outlawa
in covert Third World activities into
lew
By Sandra Curry
Staff Writer
The United States has been oper
ating illegally in foreign countries
during every presidency since 1932,
a former CIA agent said Wednesday
night at Rudder Theater in a pro
gram sponsored by MSC Political
Forum.
John Stockwell, a former CIA em
ployee and author of “In Search of
Enemies,” addressed an almost full
theater.
Stockwell, a former member of
the Marine Corps, served on the Na
tional Security Council as coordina
tor of the covert war in Angola, a po
sition he describes as similar to the
one Lt. Col. Oliver North held on
the council. He said that like North,
he too was involved in illegal opera
tions, but charges were never
brought against him.
“We were breaking the law,”
Stockwell said. “I was twice vindi
cated for my actions and received no
jail term. If I had, then the present
crew on the council would have
learned a lesson, and wouldn’t be
going through this.”
Stockwell said that in the covert
operations the CIA runs, the main
objective is to destabilize a country.
Currendy, there are 50 covert oper
ations being conducted within the
CIA, he said.
“That means that they are destabi
lizing one third of the countries in
the world right now,” he said.
“When there is a government they
don’t like, they put pressure on it by
ripping apart the social and eco
nomic fabric of the country. They
make it to where the farmer can’t get
his goods to market, or the chidren
can’t go to school.”
According to a brochure handed
out at the program, the CIA seeks to
increase global tension by support
ing military dictatorships.
Stockwell said most destabilizing
operations are aimed at Third
World countries like Nicaragua,
Vietnam, Sri Lanka and Laos. How
ever, he said, the government hasn’t
carried out any destabilizing opera
tions in the Soviet Union since 1954.

Ex-CIA agent, John Stockwell, speaks at the MSC Political Forum
in Rudder Theater Wednesday night.
“In 1954, we realized that they
had the power to drop an atomic
bomb on us and retaliate,” he said.
“It’s in these Third World countries
that the governments aren’t strong
enough to defend themselves. If
there’s any heroism in this, I fail to
see it.”
Stockwell used the current situa
tion in Nicaragua as an example of
U.S. dealings in covert operations.
After the problems in Nicaragua
began in 1981, President Reagan
gave $19 million to the CIA to begin
aestabilizing the country, he said.
“Funding these operations has
since then been cominjz in both le-
mung i
gaily and illegally,” Stockwell said.
There are many aspects to desta
bilization, such as assassinations,
propaganda and creating

60 parents call to support

pc
who feared he would be forced from
his practice when angry parents re
acted to the news he carried the
AIDS virus now finds others rallying
to his support.
Dr. Robert J. Huse of suburban
Mesquite said more than 60 parents
had called by Wednesday support
ing him and his practice in the Dallas
suburb.
“It makes me feel very good,” he
said. “It’s quite a significant num
ber.”
Pamela Shouse of Mesquite said
she took her 9-year-old daughter to
see Huse Wednesday morning
knowing he carried the AIDS virus.
pediatrician was diagnosed as having
HIV, a designation given the ac
quired immune deficiency syndrome
virus in July 1985.
Tuesday, Huse said he saw 10 pa
tients when he normally treats 25.
“That is quite a substantial drop and
if this continues I will have to leave
my practice,” he said.
Some parents said they were an
gry that Huse had not told them he
carried the virus and talked about
forming a group to seek mandatory
AIDS tests for doctors and a require
ment that doctors must tell their pa
tients if they test positive.
‘Dr. Huse has taken us through a
W
few crises, and I have as much faith
in him as I do in my own priest,” she
said. “He’s a cut above a regular doc
tor.”
Martha Wheeler, also of Mesquite,
said her two children have been
Huse’s patients since he started his
practice 12 years ago.
“I don’t think he would do any
thing to harm any children,”
Wheeler said. “If he was a danger to
the public, I think he would step out
of his practice before he would hurt
anyone.
“I think he was just treated dirty
by this.”
News reports in connection with a
lawsuit filed by the doctor surfaced
late last week that the 44-year-old
Jennifer Skinner, whose two chil
dren were Huse’s patients, told the
Dallas Times Herald, said, “I want
him crucified. I really don’t care if it
ruins his practice. I don’t want him
to go somewhere else to treat other
little babies.”
Huse published a letter in the
Mesquite News asking his patients
not to leave him. “I hope that my pa
tients and their parents will not be ir
rationally fearful of coming back to
me for pediatric care,” the letter
stated.
Huse said he never told his pa
tients he carried the virus because he
felt he wasn’t a threat to their health.
Dr. Charles Ginsburg, Southwes
tern Medical School pediatrics de
partment chairman, said Wednesday
that concern about patients contract
ing acquired immune deficiency syn
drome in the course of treatment by
Huse was unjustified.
“This is not the mechanism by
which AIDS is transmitted,” said
Ginsburg, who also is medical direc
tor of Children’s Medical Center in
Dallas. “Children are not at risk, and
there is no medical justification for
testing of children because of this.
‘T his has prompted a gjreat deal
of parental anxiety not limited to Dr.
Huse’s practice. A number of pedia
tricians are being bombarded with
calls about this.”
Ginsburg said parents should be
more concerned about their chil
dren in other ways, such as their mo
tor skills development, day-care situ
ations and quality of education.
“I would have no problem what-
sover in Dr. Huse taking care of ei
ther of my children,” he said.
Shouse said she felt the reaction
against Huse comes from ignorance.
“I feel that they have judged and
condemned the man without hear
ing all the evidence,” she said.
Huse’s three-doctor practice in
Mesquite lists between 3,000 and
4,000 patients. While he may have to
leave his practice, Huse said, he is
considering starting another pediat
rics practice in the Dallas area as well
as working with AIDS patients.
Shouse said, “If he moved his
practice anywhere within reasonable
distance, I would continue to take
my daughter to him.”
