INTELLIGENCE DIFFICULTIES

(Taken from a briefing of 4 November 1971 concerning the political scene in Morocco.)

The main difficulty with the CIA, any US government agency, Russian
government agencies or the British, is they act on false reports. That is an alarming
malcharacteristic for an intelligence organization.

It is a two-edged knife. They will buy any false reports you feed them if they want
to believe it. Their intelligence people are also, unfortunately, naive these days and
operate on what their superiors want to believe.

That is also a defensive mechanism for a country. If they were really on the ball,
they would have a few of these foreign agents spotted and just feed them whatever they
want to feed them on a preconceived basis. The US and British governments believe
implicitly what they read in the newspapers, so they can print anything they want to in
the paper and it will be picked up as God's truth by these governments.
