Acknowledgments
Work on The CIA
and the Cult of Intelligence began in early 1972
and from the beginning the effort was plagued with problems,
largely generated by an angry CIA and a misguided U.S. government.
Throughout the ordeal, our friend and agent, David Obst, was
a constant source of encouragement and help. Similarly, the good
people at the American Civil Liberties Union-Aryeh Neier, Sandy
Rosen, John Shattuck, Mimi Schneider, and others, but especially
Mel Wulf-provided more than free counsel and an effective legal
defense of our constitutional rights. They have been friends of
the best sort. We owe a special debt of gratitude to our editor, Dan
Okrent, and to Tony Schulte of Knopf, who never lost faith and
always offered inspiration. To the president of Random House,
Robert Bernstein, who had the courage to go forward with the
book in the face of intimidating odds, we are deeply indebted. And,
lastly, to Jim Boyd of the Fund for Investigative Journalism and all
the others who helped in various ways but must in the circumstances
remain anonymous, we say thank you.
