So far I have not heard about the following information in regards to the recent release of CIA documents
A summary of parts of SOME UNKNOWN HISTORY OF THE U.S. ( a work in progress) by me. copyright as of 28 June 07.

Dec 7, 1941: FDR claimed Pearl Harbor was a surprise attack. It wasn't a surprise. President Roosevelt (FDR) provoked the attack, knew about it in advance and covered up his failure to warn the Hawaiian commanders. FDR needed the attack to sucker Hitler to declare war, since the public and Congress were overwhelmingly against entering the war in Europe.

In 1945 at the end of World War II, the OSS gave the Soviet foreign intelligence service, the NKVD an too many opportunities to confuse and counter U.S. intelligence. Throughout Europe, the NKVD sent many double agents to volunteer to work for OSS or defect to OSS, thereby, feeding the OSS massive amounts of false information.
An OSS weakness or failure during the war, was its lack of counterintelligence. Even Operation PAPERCLIP which was OSS's effort to find and recruit useful Nazis, did not take the time to investigate whether a particular Nazi's life had been spared by the Soviets because he had agreed to as a double agent for them.
While the Roosevelt Administration continued to debate the fate of postwar Germany, Donovan and Dulles secretly threw in America's lot with the worst of the Third Reich. America was actively recruiting Nazis - not simply scientists, but high-level military and civilian officials of the Hitler regime. The American Army even recruited and evacuated the head of the Gestapo, Heinrich Mueller. U.S. taxpayers paid the salaries of thousands of Gestapo, Wehrmacht, and SS officers, for example Holocaust organizer Alois Brunner, Adolf Eichmann's top assistant. OSS officer Frank Wisner accepted the surrender of General Reinhard Gehlen and his men. Gehlen had been Adolph Hitler's chief intelligence officer against the Soviet Union. Wisner step up a stopgap intelligence network using the remnants of Gehlen's spying operations. Wisner's recruits for the OSS's new espionage organization in Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Germany were former SS officers on the run. "Our (U.S.) dependence on Gehlen made us sitting ducks for disinformation (being feed disinformation)... Gehlen, to a certain extent, told the us what we wanted to hear. In the process, we let his group become the lifeline for escaped Nazis." said former OSS/CIA Covert Operations Executive, Robert T. Crowley. (The Secret History of the CIA, pgs. 26-30)
Information coming soon to my on-line book:
National security and political interests superseded those of the drug law enforcement agencies of the U.S. government. In the process of penetrating the mafia and the French connection, case-making agents of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN) would uncover (FBI's and CIA's) "Establishment`s" ties to organized crime and the FBN would be prevented from investigatingCIA and its Nationalist Chinese allies who operated the world`s largest drug-trafficking syndicate.

While the Department of Justice estimates that $100 billion in drug funds are laundered in the U.S. each year, other research, including research material from the Andean Commission of Jurists cited by author Dan Russell in his soon to be published book Drug War place the figure at around $250 billion per year. Catherine Austin Fitts places the figure at $250 to $300 billion. Given the fact that the UN estimated that in the early 1990s world retail volume in the illegal drugs was $440 billion, $250 billion seems about right. Fitts, using her Wall Street experience as an investment banker is then quick to point out that the multiplier effect (x6) of $250 billion laundered would result in $1.5 trillion dollars per year in U.S. cash transactions resulting from the drug trade.http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/economy/dontblink.html
SOME UNKNOWN HISTORY OF THE U.S.
(copyrighted 1July 2007)
In 1915, the U.S. outlawed opium based patent medicines with the adoption of the Harrison Narcotics Act. In 1921, the Hague Convention made it illegal to import opium from India to China. In 1921, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it was illegal for doctors to prescribe narcotic drugs to addicts. Arnold Rothstein was not unlike the robber barons of the 1920's, but unlike Morgan, Mellon, and Rockefeller, Rothstein was America's premier Labor racketeer, bookmaker, bootleger, and drug trafficker, He was financing an international drug cartel and supplied millions o dollars' worth of illicit drugs to American gangsters. (The Strength of the Wolf, by Douglas Valentine, pgs. 6-10)
Around 1925, dope peddlers Charles Luciano, Frank Costello, and Meyer Lansky became a self-appointed heirs to Rothstein's drug trafficking operation. By 1929, the two main sources of illicit drugs from the Far East were the Ezra brothers gang in China and the Eliopoulos ring in Paris. In 1926, the U.S. War and State Departments thwarted the Treasury Department`s Narcotics Division and accommodated the Nationalist Chinese, whose survival depended on profits from drug smuggling.
In the future, national security and political interests superseded those of the drug law enforcement agencies of the U.S. government. In the process of penetrating the mafia and the French connection, case-making agents of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN) would uncover (FBI's and CIA's) "Establishment`s" ties to organized crime and the FBN would be prevented from investigating the CIA and its Nationalist Chinese allies who operated the world`s largest drug-trafficking syndicate. ( pgs. 3 and 10-12)
In 1924, an American citizen formed a relationship the intelligence officer for General Chang Tsung-chang, a Shangtung warlord contending with Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang Party for control of Shanghai. This American with the knowledge of the State and War Department, provided 6,500 Mausers (rifles) acquired from an Italian arms merchant, in exchange for $500,000 worth of opium. (pg. 12)
During the Great Depression there was a controversy over national drug policy. Social scientists and other liberals were advocating legalization and a reduction in the price of prescription medicines as a most cost-effective way of putting drug traffickers out of business. Harry J. Anslinger, an apparatchik of corporate America, convinced Congressmen to wage a popular "tough on crime" campaign that to ensure their re-election. He promoted mandatory sentencing and longer prison terms. Relying on Anslinger's contacts in the press, the drug industry, and the evangelical (religious) movement, he conjured up a rogue's gallery of undesirable minorities that appealed to traditional race and class prejudices. Pushing the idea of Killer Weed (Reefer Madness) used by lazy Mexicans on the southwest border, sex-crazed Negros and Puerto Rican seamen, incrutable Chinese pegans who turned week-willed white women into prostitutes, and lewd Lost Generation atheists preaching free love and Bolshevism in Greenwich Village Cafes.
In mid-1930 he became the head of the new Federal Bureau of Narcotics.
