1. Wow. Churchill has a long history working for the Amer. Indian Movement

and writing about Leonard Peltier. This letter written in support of Churchill outlines how an accuser seems to be trying to put the 'bad jacket' on Churchill, a common COINTELPRO tactic to neutralize the most affective activists for justice by accusing them of being the cops.

So Churchill looks like quite an accomplished activist for human rights for Native Americans and other victims of the US gov't. but who used a hot-button word (Eichmann) that was seized on to accomplish 4 things at once:

1) Neutralize a hard-working human rights activist
2) Chill professors on college campuses from criticising US gov't.
3) Re-adrenalize the 9/11 outrage that fuels the permanent war

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY:
4) Distract from the just released CIA documents showing the US gov't. took in five of Nazi Eichmann's assistants and is complicit with Nazi war criminals. And this is the tip of the iceberg. The US took in hundreds of Nazis as assets for intelligence, murder, and making weapons at NASA.

Five of Adolph Eichmann's Nazi assistants were recruited and employed by the Central Intelligence Agency after World War II, according to recently declassified intelligence documents.

The information came to light after a lengthy battle waged by the non-profit group, The National Security Archive, whosegoal is to expose government documents under the framework of the Freedom of Information Act.

The newly-revealed documents are based on internal investigations in the CIA's history department. The agency has steadfastly refused to make the documents public for fear they would cause embarassment.

The revelations cast a negative light not only on American intelligence activity but also the U.S.Army's conduct in Germany at the conclusion of the war. The military made efforts to recruit members of the SS and the Gestapo into its ranks despite simultaenously waging a campaign of de-Nazification over vanquished Germany, a process which included arresting and trying Nazi war criminals.
