[chottala.com] CIA'S NEW SECRET ARMY



 
 
DEJA VU - CIA'S NEW SECRET ARMY
 
by Eric Margolis | September 27, 2010 - 10:57am
Revelations the US Central Intelligence Agency is operating a secret, 3,000-man Afghan mercenary force whose mission is assassinating Taliban and al-Qaida fighters has caused a major stir in the United States.
This dramatic report comes in an authoritative new book, "Obama's Wars," by investigative reporter of Watergate fame, Bob Woodward. He has long enjoyed privileged access to the White House. 
 
The US armed, paid and directed hunter-killer force was set up to operate inside Pakistan, where US troops are officially not allowed to go. The mercenaries are mostly Afghan Tajiks, Uzbeks, and Hazara – all traditional enemies of the majority Pashtun – as well as renegades, common criminals, and mercenaries.  
 
Their raids into Afghanistan's tribal territory are sometimes coordinated with CIA's intensifying drone attacks on Pakistani tribesmen that are causing heavy civilian casualties. 
 
CIA also runs its own secret militias in southern Afghanistan and, reportedly, in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
 
To what degree, if any, CIA's killer units cooperate with US Special Operations Forces, who have the same assassination mission, is unknown. CIA's  assassination campaign in Afghanistan and Pakistan is based on the agency's successful campaign in Iraq. 
 
These Afghan guns for hire are richly rewarded by local standards and boast of high enemy body counts. Neither the US-installed Afghan government in Kabul or Pakistan's government has any control over these paramilitary forces.
 
Crimes,  atrocities and mistaken killings committed by CIA's Afghan mercenaries go unreported and unpunished. They are a law unto themselves, with no apparent links to the US military command in Afghanistan. In addition, various other groups of US mercenaries and assassins from private "contractors" like the former Blackwater are also operating in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
 
The result is a dangerous, confusing melee of hired gunmen, US special forces, militias and government troops – an Afghan/Pakistani version of America's wild Dodge City.
 
No one should be surprised by the news that US-led mercenaries are crossing into Pakistan and killing Pakistani Pashtun tribesmen as well as Taliban and even an occasional al-Qaida member. This writer has received reports of the hunter-killer force for years. It's an open secret in Islamabad and Kabul. 
 
Pakistan's government has turned a blind eye, or even quietly approved US-led troops violating its sovereignty and assassinating its citizens. Islamabad  also permits US drones to stage lethal attacks across the tribal zones of northwest Pakistan without any prior approval.     
 
In fact, the US has a long record of using mercenaries in its wars.
 
During the Vietnam War, CIA created mercenary forces of Hmong and Meo mountain tribesmen( Operation Hotfoot) and ethnic Chinese Nungs to hunt and kill Vietcong cadres. 
 
They formed part of CIA's notorious Phoenix Operation that reportedly assassinated some 26,000 Communist cadres and sympathizers.
 
CIA mercenaries were also used during the 1980's in Nicaragua and El Salvador's brutal conflict between rightists  and Marxist rebels.   El Salvador's ruthless death squads were highly effective in liquidating leftists, as I saw while covering these conflicts 
 
The model of El Salvador's death squads was transposed to Iraq, where mercenaries, criminals and renegades were used to liquidate Sunni resistance groups. 
 
The Soviets also used similar tactics during their occupation of Afghanistan from 1979-1989. Gangs of ferocious Uzbek mercenaries know as "Jowzjani" were sent to slaughter Pashtuns resisting Soviet occupation. Other gangs of Tajik and Uzbek fighters were employed by Moscow to stir ethnic discord.  
 
Concern is growing in the United States over CIA's rapidly increasing paramilitary role in Afghanistan and Iraq – to which Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, Kenya, Uganda and West Africa are now being added.         
 
Many intelligence professionals warn that CIA's primary role of providing unbiased intelligence to the president is being undermined by its growing combat mission. Once your men and "assets" are involve in assassinations and fighting, it's very difficult to remain objective, detached and neutral. The US State Department is also taking on a paramilitary role in Iraq, risking the same clouding of its judgment. 
 
The US military is highly displeased by CIA's paramilitary role, accusing the agency of being "cowboys" and "armchair warriors."  Some veteran CIA staff are also dismayed,  claiming their job is to think, not to kill.  
 
But funds are flowing to CIA's warriors. Running gunmen in Pakistan is the agency's new, hot assignment.  Certainly more sexy than writing reports.
