(26,083 posts)Operation PAPERCLIP employees with skill sets including torture and assassination aka enhanced interrogation techniques and regime change. Prior to being called the Directorate of Operations/DO it was known as the Directorate of Plans/DP.
Today (thanks to Porter J. Goss, who worked in the DP approx. 1960-71) the functions of that unit have been absorbed and expanded by the National Clandestine Service.

Porter J. Goss is another one of those Bush Family Yale CIA well connected folks, he is a Cheney/Gottlieb ("darkside"
vet that certainly was directly influenced by the original Operation PAPERCLIP Nazis, and his brief tenure and policies as George Walker Bush's "choice" for DCI (4-21-05 to 5-5-06) are currently blowing up all around US and the world-without giving him the proper credit imo.

It's not easy to find open sources about what was really going on in that era (1960-71) when Porter Goss was hanging out a lot in Miami and The Southern Cone with colleagues like George Joannides, David Sanchez Morales, Frank Wisner et al.
For those that find researching hidden history worth the considerable efforts, the last hyperlink in this post comes from the late former Assistant Deputy Director of the Directorate of Operations Robert Trumbull Crowley papers via John Young's Cryptome archives.
It is a controversial list of names and addresses known as The Crowley Files which I, for one, have found worthwhile when researching the US intelligence community's legacies of Operation PAPERCLIP.
