PREFACE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Guerrilla warfare is essentially a political war. Therefore, its area of
|
|||
|
|
operations exceeds the territorial limits of conventional warfare. To
|
|||
|
|
penetrate the political entity itself: The "Political Animal" the Aristotle
|
|||
|
|
defined.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In effect, the human being should be considered the priority objective in a
|
|||
|
|
political war. And concieved as the military target of guerrilla war, the
|
|||
|
|
human has his most critical point in his mind. Once his mind has been reached,
|
|||
|
|
the "politica l animal" has been defeated, without necessarily recieving
|
|||
|
|
bullets.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Guerrilla warfare is born and grows in the political envirnment: in the
|
|||
|
|
constant combat to dominate that area of political mentality that is inherent
|
|||
|
|
to all human beings and which collectively constitutes the "environment" in
|
|||
|
|
which guerrilla warfare moves, and which is where precisely its victory or
|
|||
|
|
failure is defined.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This conception of guerrilla warfare as political war turns psychological
|
|||
|
|
Operations into the decisive factor of the results. The target, then, is the
|
|||
|
|
minds of the population, all the population: our troops, the enemy troops, and
|
|||
|
|
the civilian population.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This book is a manual for the training of guerrillas in psychological
|
|||
|
|
operations, and its application to the concrete case of the Christian and
|
|||
|
|
democratic crusade being waged in Nicaragua by the Freedom Commandos.

PERMANENT SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELEGENCE

|
PRESS RELEASE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
DECEMBER 5, 1984
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This manual was written and printed up in several editions by the CIA. The
|
|||
|
|
manual talks of overthrowing the Sandanistas. This raises the question of
|
|||
|
|
whether the Boland Amendment was violated. The manual talks of "nuetralizing"
|
|||
|
|
Sandanista officials and creating martyrs. This raises question to whether
|
|||
|
|
Executive order 12333, which prohibits assassinations, was violated. The
|
|||
|
|
manual also talks about shooting civilians trying to leave a captured town,
|
|||
|
|
blackmailing others to work for the contras, and endangering innocent people by
|
|||
|
|
inciting violence in mass demonstrations. These matters raise the issue of
|
|||
|
|
whether they are consistant with United States policy.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The committee believes that the manual caaused embarrassment to the United
|
|||
|
|
States and should never have been released in any of its various forms.
|
|||
|
|
Specific actions that it describes are repugnant to American values.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The committee believes that this record also reflects insufficient concern
|
|||
|
|
about congressional and legal restrictions on CIA activities. A majority of
|
|||
|
|
the committee concludes that the manual represents a violation of the Boland
|
|||
|
|
Amendment. CIA officials up the chain of command either never read the manual
|
|||
|
|
or were never made aware of it. Neglegence, not intent to violate the law,
|
|||
|
|
marked the manuals history.
