Quotes by L. Fletcher Prouty (?)

“It is always of paramount importance to know that the information we have is not planted, false or a product of deception.”
― L. Fletcher Prouty, The Secret Team: The CIA & its Allies in Control of the United States & the World

“The CIA also maintains countless paramilitary and pseudobusiness organizations that weave in and out of legitimacy and do business much as their civilian counterparts would.”

“The principle behind NSAM #57 is absolutely fundamental to the whole concept of clandestine operations. It not only restates the idea that clandestine operations should be secret and deniable, but it goes beyond that to state that they should be small. It plays on the meaning of “small,” in two areas of interest: First, unless they are very small they should not be assigned to the CIA; and second, if they are not as small as possible they have no chance of remaining secret and therefore have no chance, by definition, of being successful clandestine operations.”
― L. Fletcher Prouty, The Secret Team: The CIA & its Allies in Control of the United States & the World
