Another case to futher prove that the CIA which claims to be a protector for the United States’s citizens are using methods to prove innoncence against corruption is the case CIA v. Richard Taus. Richard Taus, a FBI Special Agent and U.S. Army Lt. Colonel who know suffers fallacious sexual assault charges and is spending up to 90 years in prison after exposing criminal activity within the Central Intelligence Agency and the White House during the 1980. One of Richard’s first experiences were while in vitenam when Air America (CIA front operation plane) crashed in a jungle, initally it was employed as a troop transport but was a cover for its illegal drug running operations. When Taus came to the aid of the unharmed Air America pilots and offered …show more content…
Continuing his duties when Taus was required to biannually sign a written statement to the House and Senate Intelligence Oversight Committees stating that he as an agent knew of no unreported criminal activities or operations, he had refused several times causing controversyof retribution against him by his superiors - some of whom were involved in illegal activities of their own. The CIA had violated Mr. Taus Human Right according to article 19 “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.” (Universal Delecration Of Human Rights, article 19). Due to the intense pressure he had to “to destroy my written reports, terminate my informants and make no reference to these criminal and subversive activities implicating high ranking government officials who controlled and manipulated government agencies and operations.” said Richard (David Deschesne,
In the case of Timothy Ivory Carpenter V. UNITED STATES Did the government overstep its bounds in Detroit without getting a probable cause warrant, and did the government violated the 4th amendment of Timothy Ivory Carpenter?

How 1984 handles their citizens, who go against the Party and how The United States government handle such situation is vastly different, but there are similarities in the ideas and the outcome. One of the past directors of the CIA, William E. Colby felt that the public had the public needed to know what the CIA had done to cover up scandals and spoke about his interactions with Congress. Colby was an active member of the CIA after World War II, and during the Vietnam War, he became the Director of the CIA. Colby was quick to adopt a policy of openness about U.S. intelligence activities to different committees within the government itself, and also, to the citizens of the United States. While Colby revealed the importance of the tasks done
Leonard Peltier’s Innocence Leonard Peltier was a Native American man arrested for supposedly killing two FBI agents on Pine Ridge Reservation of South Dakota. There have been many debates about the integrity of the court cases and the lawfulness of Peltier’s arrest. Many FBI supporters would claim that there were eyewitness accounts and various other pieces of material evidence that show that Peltier was the culprit. However, Peltier supporters would rebut the evidence, saying that the eyewitness accounts aren’t legitimate and the court decision was politically influenced. I will consider both sides of the argument, and show that Peltier’s innocence is evident because the evidence provided against Peltier was falsified and the FBI used disingenuous methods in charging Peltier for murder.
The majority of people would never imagine they could be convicted of a crime which they did not commit, but all too often, this is the startling reality. Through the history of the United States and the world, excessively many decisions have been made rashly as a result of fear and bias. Two specific cases in the United States are those of the Red Scare and the West Memphis Three. While both situations did not lead to prosecution and conviction of individuals, both did involve harsh accusations which seemed reasonably based but may not have been. By comparing and contrasting these two events, one can see specific recurring patterns not only in the history of the United States, but in the history of the whole world; by seeing this, hopefully
During the Cold War, covert action was necessary. The Cold War was a period of tension between the United States and the Soviet Union. Both were fearful the other would fire first, but neither did. Spies were pivotal figures during the Cold War because they were essential for acquiring secret information. Right before the Cold War began, the Central Intelligence Agency had just been created and was an important organization for obtaining information for the United States.
Pro-CIA Torture To begin, the US and it’s central intelligence agency, also known as the CIA are torturing captives, and it’s up for debate. The US should allow the CIA to torture its prisoners. It’s a way to get very valuable information from them. The torture techniques leave no marks or traces left behind on the victim. It strikes fear in the to be tortured prisoners so that they make talk before the CIA even lays a finger on them.
The HUAC's trials were hardly supported by hard evidence, but the driving force behind their convictions were mere allegations. The trials conducted by the HUAC violated the 5th Amendment, which protects the defendant from representing themselves without a lawyer. The trials conducted by the HUAC entirely violated the American justice system directly since it violated the Amendments. These allegations were challenging to dismiss because they were simply accusations, yet the government took the accuser's word for it and disregarded their sense of justice. The ignorant nature shown by the United States shows that the Government forgot its sense of justice when developing the HUAC.
As they were destroying the documents someone incorrectly stored the 20,000 files wrong talking about MK-Ultra and how it was real. In 1977 there was a huge investigation by water gate during the state hering. In 1974 the New York Times elledge that the CIA Conducted a illegal activities in the 1960 doing experiments on american citizens. The article was a main reason why an investigation lead by Frank Church was made. In the summer of 1975 congressional Church Committee reports and the presidential Rockefeller Commission report revealed to the public that Mk-Ultra was real.
Act violated the Fourth Amendment's guarantee against unreasonable search and seizure. According to NBC News. Another shocking finding from this case was that by asking [Judge Aiken] to dismiss Mayfield's lawsuit, the judge said, the U.S. attorney general's office was "asking this court to, in essence, amend the Bill of Rights, by giving it an interpretation that would deprive it of any real meaning. This court declines to do so (Aiken). This came as a big shock to the nation because if the government was willing to ask for a dismissal of the lawsuit what else could they be doing behind our backs.
These cases raise basic constitutional issues of the utmost concern. it also calls into question the role of the military under our system of government. it involves the power of Congress to expose civilians to trial by military tribunals, under military regulations and procedures, for offenses against the United States. And thereby depriving her of trial in civilian courts, under civilian laws and procedures and with all the safeguards of the Bill of Rights. Notwithstanding, she was tried by the court-martial with-out a grand jury, the dependent alleged that she was denied a right to a jury tried and so right to have her indictment presented to a grand jury pursuant to the constitution.
The misconduct of these agents is not only violating the 4th Amendment rights of American citizens it is also costing the tax payers millions of dollars in litigation
The FBI was a very influential organization from the dawn of its creation; especially in with its participation in some of the world’s most important cases. A couple of the most relevant cases are the Duquesne Spy Ring and Anthrax Investigation. On these occasions the maxim, “the only thing to fear was fear itself”, was no longer the motto because terrorism was now reality in America. The Duquesne Spy ring case all started with a man by the name of William Sebold; who was a German-American who served as a double agent for the FBI.
In a historically based film, the first thing to look at is its accuracy. Michael Bay has told the media that he has done far more research for this film than any other media outlet. This is arguably true, as he has met with the CIA, interviewed several of the CIA contractors and obviously worked with the writer of the book. However, upon the release of the film, the CIA Chief of Station, who publicly identified himself as “Bob”, told news sources that one of the most important plot points was incorrect. He claimed that the Chief never ordered the team to stand down, which was a costly call.
The main issue in the Snowden controversy is the conflicting rights of private individuals and the US government with regard to the use of telecommunications and the internet. There are ethical issues surrounding this controversy and the most applicable ethical approach for this case is “Ethics by Rights Approach”. As a background, the reason why US government had declared Edward Snowden a traitor is his involvement in the leaking of about 1.7 million confidential US documents, 15,000 Australian intelligence files and 58,000 British intelligence files from the National Security Agency (or NSA) to the public. These confidential information were acquired by the NSA through the PRISM program by collaborating with big internet companies such
