For most of his career, Shackley was in the field administering
operations from behind a desk. After Germany in the 1950s, he directed the
huge Miami station during the war against Castro. Then it was off to Laos,
and later Saigon, at the height of those wars. When not in the field,
Shackley was administering from CIA headquarters: during the 1970s he helped
with the overthrow of Allende in Chile and Whitlam in Australia (both of
them elected leaders), and also directed damage control against Philip Agee.
This may look like a string of failures, but not for an Agency that prides
itself on deniability rather than accountability. Then came the Edwin Wilson
scandal -- ironically inconsequential when compared to Shackley's career of
covert war-mongering. As an associate of Wilson, Shackley was damaged goods,
and Stansfield Turner had all he needed to shunt Shackley's fast-track
career off to the side. Blessed deliverance for the world's people.
