The Crimes of Patriots: A True Tale of Dope, Dirty Money, an

"Science," the Greek word for knowledge, when appended to the word "political," creates what seems like an oxymoron. For who could claim to know politics? More complicated than any game, most people who play it become addicts and die without understanding what they were addicted to. The rest of us suffer under their malpractice as our "leaders." A truer case of the blind leading the blind could not be found. Plumb the depths of confusion here.

APPENDIX: The Questions Whose Answers Are Secret

1. Did any U.S. intelligence agency ever have a relationship with Bernie Houghton? What was the nature and duration of the relationship?

2. What were the dates of Michael Hand's employment by any U.S. intelligence agency, whether on a permanent or contract or other ad hoc assignment, and what was his work?

3. Did the CIA ever have a relationship with Frank Nugan? What was the nature and duration of the relationship?

4. Admiral Yates has said that Dale Holmgren, while an officer of Nugan Hand and officially retired from the intelligence service, continued to work actively to develop "a close relationship with the U.S. military forces and the business and government community" on Taiwan. What was the exact nature of Holmgren's relationship with the U.S. military or intelligence community, or the U.S. Government at all, while he worked for Nugan Hand?

5. How and when did Bernie Houghton meet Admiral Yates? What was the nature and duration of their relationship? Did Houghton, as Sir Paul Strasser has said, have letters of recommendation from Admiral Yates and other high-ranking U.S. military officers when he arrived in Australia in 1967? If so, how did this come about?

6. Colonel Allan Parks, U.S. Air Force (ret.), has said that while serving undercover for U.S. intelligence as an official of the U.S. embassy in Vientiane, Laos, in the 1960s, he became aware that Bernie Houghton was generally known by U.S. intelligence to be transporting contraband such as drugs and gambling devices around Southeast Asia, along with surplus military equipment and other goods. Talks with numerous persons make clear that Houghton had such a reputation. Colonel Parks has said that Houghton's movements were frequently recorded on cable traffic he saw at the embassy, and that General Aderholt was also aware of it. What did the U.S. intelligence agencies do with their information and records on Houghton? Did the United States ever attempt to stop his trafficking in contraband? If so, how? If not, why not? Did the United States make its knowledge of Houghton's trafficking in contraband available to Yates and others who met with him while on active duty, and who later went to work for Nugan Hand?

7. It seems inevitable that U.S. intelligence would have developed further information on Houghton during the years when he was the primary caterer to the social needs of U.S. servicemen on R & R in Sydney. There is abundant evidence that he was well known to various U.S. political, military, and intelligence officials. This period overlapped several years when Houghton was a critical factor in the operation of Nugan Hand, though not yet an officer of it, Were any records kept of his relationships with U.S. officials? If so, what do they reflect, and what use has been made of them? If not, considering his friendships with so many important people -- including at least two CIA station chiefs, Milt Wonus and John Walker-why not?

8. What was the nature and duration of the CIA's relationship with Kermit L. ("Bud") King (former Air America pilot)? Does any U.S. Government agency have a file on King's mysterious death during his business association with Michael Hand? If so, does it-or any other intelligence file-reveal participation by Hand in any illegal activities, including but not limited to bringing drugs out of Asia? What use was made of this information? Were U.S. military and intelligence officers who dealt with Hand before and after their retirement informed of this?

9. Does any U.S. intelligence or law enforcement agency have a record of any drug transactions that Hand or Houghton carried on with people from the Asian mainland, including, but not limited to, Khun Sa, the military leader from the Shan States of Burma? Were U.S. military and intelligence officers who dealt with Hand before and after their retirement informed of this?

10. When did U.S. intelligence agencies first become aware that Nugan Hand was soliciting large deposits in violation of the foreign exchange control laws of many countries? That it was moving money for illegal drug dealers? That it was soliciting deposits from U.S. citizens in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere? That it was soliciting deposits from U.S. servicemen, including on U.S. military bases? What use was made of this knowledge?

11. Why was Michael Hand allowed to keep his U.S. passport after he accepted Australian citizenship?

12. Why were the Australian visa problems of Bernie Houghton, a U.S. citizen, in February 1972, solved by the intervention of a top official (Leo Carter) of the Australian Security Intelligence Organization? What do U.S. intelligence agencies know of any relationship that Houghton, or any other Nugan Hand figure, had with ASIO? When and how did U.S. intelligence agencies become aware of this?

13. Has any oversight authority examined records of cable traffic that Christopher Boyce might have seen while working for TRW Corp., to see if the facts might justify his charges that the cable traffic indicated U.S. involvement in Australian political and labor affairs? What records were located, who examined them, and what were the findings? Do records of any cable traffic or other records from any U.S. intelligence organization provide evidence to support charges, made by Boyce, by several officials of the Australian Labor Party, and by others, that the U.S. involved itself in Australian domestic political or labor activities, or provided covert impetus for the removal of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam from office in 1975?

14. Did any U.S. intelligence agency ever have a relationship with, or arrange for money to be paid to or on behalf of, former Australian Governor General John Kerr? If so, please provide details. Did any representative of the U.S. Government communicate, directly or indirectly, with Kerr in the week prior to his dismissal of Gough Whitlam? What was the nature of the communication?

15. People who knew Bernie Houghton well in Australia say that he was given access to U.S. military transport at Richmond Air Base there. Is this true? Why did it happen?

16. Was there any official relationship, on a contract basis or otherwise, between Houghton and the former Australian CIA sta lion chiefs Walker and Wonus?

17. After Hand's tour of duty in Laos with the CIA, did he at any time return to the U.S. for further training or briefing by any U.S. intelligence agency? Did Houghton ever get such training or briefing?

18. During Hand's time in southern Africa or Rhodesia, and during his time in Panama, did he have any contact with, or relationship with, anyone in any U.S. intelligence agency?

19. Did any employee or contract agent of any U.S. intelligence agency ever use the Nugan Hand organization to finance or otherwise arrange arms deals in southern Africa or elsewhere?

20. Did any employee or contract agent of a U.S. intelligence agency ever use Joe Judge to finance or arrange arms deals?

21. Did any U.S. intelligence agency ever use Nugan Hand to make payments to any individual or company for any purpose?

22. Was there any relationship between Patry Loomis and any person associated with Nugan Hand prior to Loomis's retirement from the CIA? Or after? Is there truth to a report in Foreign Policy magazine (winter 1982-83) that Loomis, perhaps using another name, was a director of a company in the Nugan Hand group?

23. What was the nature and duration of any relationship between Hand or Houghton and Theodore Shackley before Shackley left the CIA? What do U.S. intelligence agencies know of their relationships with Shackley after he retired from the CIA?

24. When and how did any U.S. intelligence agency become aware of a relationship between Thomas Clines and anyone associated with Nugan Hand, particularly Houghton? What is known about the nature and duration of the relationship? Did it exist before Clines left the CIA? Did Clines have any relationship with any U.S. intelligence agency after his announced retirement from the CIA? When and how did any U.S. intelligence agency become aware that Clines went to Australia shortly after Nugan Hand failed, and left Australia with Houghton? Has anyone looked for records of cable traffic between Clines and anyone involved in Nugan Hand? (Australian authorities say there was cable traffic between Clines and Hand while Clines was still with CIA.) Were any records found? Do any exist? What do they disclose?

25. When and how did any U.S. intelligence agency become aware of a relationship between Ricardo Chavez and anyone associated with Nugan Hand, particularly Houghton? What is known about the nature and duration of the relationship? Did it exist while Chavez was still a contract agent for the CIA? Did Chavez have any relationship with any U.S. intelligence agency after his service as a CIA contract agent?

26. When and how did any U.S. intelligence agency become aware that Chavez was planning to work with Nugan Hand? What is known about their relationship?

27. Was any instruction given by any employee of any U.S. intelligence agency to any Australian, or to any Australian security agency, about Hand, Houghton, or Nugan Hand in general?

28. How and when did any U.S. intelligence agency first learn the identity of the mysterious "Charlie" who entered Australia and helped Michael Hand leave under a phony identity?

29. Has any U.S. intelligence agency been in contact with Hand since he left Australia in June 1980? When, how, and what happened?

30. When was the last contact that a U.S. intelligence agency had with Houghton? How did it occur, and what happened?

31. Did Naval Task Force 157 ever have representatives in Australia? Who were they and what did they do? Was Edwin Wilson ever one of them?

32. When and how did any U.S. intelligence agency become aware that Wilson and Houghton were meeting? What does U.S. intelligence know about the purpose and content of the meetings?

33. Did U.S. intelligence attempt to warn anyone working for Nugan Hand or any customers of Nugan Hand concerning what it knew about the people involved? Who was warned, and what was the nature and content of the warnings?

34. If any relationship between Houghton and U.S. intelligence or military agencies is denied, what could account for the frequent visits of important U.S. officials to such a seedy spot as the Bourbon and Beefsteak Bar?

35. Why were the FBI's files on Nugan Hand withheld from disclosure, even to Australian law enforcement authorities, on the ground that they would endanger U.S. "national defense or foreign policy"? How would our national defense or foreign policy be endangered by the release of these documents to anyone, particularly to many properly constituted authorities assigned to investigate and prosecute Nugan Hand's violations of Australian law, specifically: the National Police, the joint state-federal police task force, the Corporate Affairs Commission inquiry under Geoffrey Nicholson, the New South Wales Attorney General's office, and the official liquidator, John O'Brien?

36. Why did FBI agent John Grant refuse to look at evidence of possible violation of U.S. law that John O'Brien, the official Australian liquidator for Nugan Hand, tried to show him?

37. To whom, and at what Australian government agency, does the FBI say it disclosed all its information on Nugan Hand? Why would it not do so to other authorized Australian law enforcement agencies with whom the FBI normally does exchange information on criminal matters?

38. When and how did U.S. intelligence or law enforcement agencies become aware of Nugan Hand's activities in the drug center of Chiang Mai, Thailand? What is known about these activities? Since there is abundant evidence that this activity involved criminal violations, at the very least of the law of Thailand, why has the information not been disclosed? Why did Richard Virden, information officer with the International Communications Agency, intervene to block Drug Enforcement Agency officers in Chiang Mai who were seeking to exchange information about, Nugan Hand with a reporter? What information could they have disclosed if Virden had not intervened?

39. When and how did any U.S. intelligence agency become aware that Frank Nugan's telephone calls were being electronically intercepted? What is known about this? Does any U.S. intelligence agency know the contents of any intercepted conversations? Has any inquired?

40. Does any U.S. intelligence agency know any reason why John Owen, a former career British Navy officer working for Nugan Hand in Thailand, would prepare long, detailed reports of military capabilities and troop movements of the various armed factions in Southeast Asia, particularly Cambodia? Has U.S. intelligence ever obtained information from these reports? How?

41. Did any U.S. intelligence service ever receive information from any officer, director, employee, or agent of Nugan Hand on any subject?

42. Has U.S. intelligence had any dealings involving Prince Panya Sonvanna Phouma? Has Nugan Hand played a part in any such dealings? Have any U.S. intelligence dealings with Prince Panya involved arms sales, or the possible operation of an air freight service, or a cloud-seeding service?

43. Has any U.S. intelligence agency ever had any dealings with Neil Evans, the Australian who represented Nugan Hand in Chiang Mai? What was the nature and duration of these dealings?

44. Has any U.S. intelligence agency ever had any dealings with Donald Beazley? What was the nature and duration of these dealings?

45. Has any U.S. intelligence agency ever had any dealings with George Shaw, or with relatives of his in Lebanon? What was the nature and duration of these dealings?

46. How did so many employees of Air America and Continental Air Service become shareholders of Australian and Pacific Holdings Ltd., the company Nugan and Hand founded before launching the Nugan Hand group? Did any U.S. Government agency facilitate these investments?

47. Has any U.S. intelligence agency ever had any dealings with Clive ("Les") Collings, Nugan Hand's Hong Kong representative? What was the nature and duration of these dealings?

48. Has any U.S. intelligence agency ever had any dealings with Wilfred Gregory, Nugan Hand's Philippine representative? What was the nature and duration of these dealings?

49. Has any U.S. intelligence agency ever had any dealings with John Needham, a co-founder of Nugan Hand? What was the nature and duration of these dealings?

50. Has any U.S. intelligence agency ever had any dealings with George Farris, a Nugan Hand Washington representative? What was the nature and duration of these dealings?

51. Has any U.S. intelligence agency ever had any dealings with the Wing-On Bank, Nugan Hand's Hong Kong bankers? What was the nature and duration of these dealings?

52. Has any U.S. intelligence agency ever had any dealings with the Inter-Alpha group of banking companies, which handled international accounts for Nugan Hand? What was the nature and duration of these dealings?

53. Has any U.S. intelligence agency ever had any dealings with Elizabeth Thomson, Nugan Hand's lawyer? What was the nature and duration of these dealings?

54. Has any U.S. intelligence agency ever had any dealings with Neil Scrimgeour, a Nugan Hand confidant in Western Australia? What was the nature and duration of these dealings?

55. When and how did U.S. intelligence become aware of Nugan Hand's plan to move Asian refugees to an island in the Caribbean? What thoughts, if any, did it render about this plan?

56. Does the U.S. Government know why millions of dollars were transferred from Nugan Hand accounts in Asia to a Nugan Hand account in Hawaii and then transferred on to Panama? Does the U.S. Government know what use was made of this money?

57. Has any U.S. intelligence agency ever had a relationship with the Hawaiian Trust Company, or Douglas Philpotts, an officer of that bank?

Re: The Crimes of Patriots: A True Tale of Dope, Dirty Money

AFTERWORD [1]: The True Patriots

In his otherwise admirable fight against the scourge of drugs, fraud, illegal arms sales, and abuse of government power, Mr. Kwitny has maliciously maligned and assassinated the character of some truly great American heroes and in so doing has besmirched the reputations of the military and intelligence services of this nation. My purpose here is to defend the honor of those men and the services they represent.

The general comments herein concern only those people for whom I had some measure of responsibility for their involvement in Nugan Hand and for whom I can speak with great confidence. Their names are: General Edwin Black, General Erie Cocke, General LeRoy Manor, Mr. Dale Holmgren, Dr. Guy Pauker, Mr. Donald Beazley, Mr. William Colby, Mr. Walter McDonald, Mr. Robert Jantzen, and Mr. George Farris (hereinafter, THE TRUE PATRIOTS).

I specifically exclude all others, not because I consider them guilty or care any less about their fair treatment, but because I do not have the time, space, or knowledge to defend them against the alleged crimes. I use the word "alleged" advisedly, for as of this date, more. than seven years after the collapse of Nugan Hand, no crimes have been proven.

Before addressing the general reader, I direct my first comments to the Nugan Hand employees and investors, who were the principal victims of the bank failure. Each of THE TRUE PATRIOTS has expressed to me a most genuine distress for your losses, particularly those of you whom they might have influenced to invest in Nugan Hand. Most of them lost significant sums of their own. For example, I never received any pay due me and personally lost over twenty-five thousand dollars in unreimbursed business expenses. We are, therefore, able to share both your agony and your anger.

Having devoted their lives to the service of their country and having often risked those lives in dangerous missions, THE TRUE PATRIOTS highly treasure the morale and reputation of those who are taking the same risks today in our national defense. They are distressed over any damage done to that morale and reputation by such warped and distorted viewpoints as found in this book.

Each of them deplores the injury done to the relationship between the United States and Australia, a long, strong, and mutually important relationship, which the Soviet Union and its KGB Disinformation Service would dearly love to destroy.

For the above reasons they unanimously regret any distress that their association, however innocent, might have contributed to others. I add to these regrets my own remorse for having induced THE TRUE PATRIOTS to join Nugan Hand. I must take full responsibility for that. They associated with Nugan Hand largely because of their trust in my assurances that I had gone to extraordinary lengths to determine the integrity of that organization and found no evidence whatsoever of a shortfall.

I informed them that my assurances were based on my personal interviews with a wide range of highly respectable, knowledgeable people and agencies, many of whom had a recognized duty to know the bona fides of Nugan Hand. These included: the managing directors of the two largest banks in Australia, which held Nugan Hand accounts; an agent of the Reserve Bank, which has responsibilities similar to our Federal Reserve Bank; the Premier of New South Wales, whose private office was adjacent to the Nugan Hand offices; two prominent Australian lawyers who had worked closely with Mr. Nugan; an agent of the Australian Tax Department, who was familiar with Mr. Nugan's tax work; the managing director of the Sydney subsidiary of Citicorp, who traded securities with Nugan Hand; a partner of the accounting firm that certified Nugan Hand records; vice-presidents of two large international banks that had accounts with Nugan Hand; the U.S. Consul General in Sydney; the desk officer in the Department of Commerce who publishes financial reports on Australian firms; agents of the Treasury Department; agents of the FBI; some highly satisfied clients of Nugan Hand; and several employees. Of all these, none gave any unfavorable information, and most had high praise. General Black and others interviewed similar groups, including prominent newspapers, with comparable results.

In recruiting THE TRUE PATRIOTS, I explained the substance of my lengthy conversations with Mr. Nugan and Mr. Hand about their ultimate objective to build an international "one-stop business shopping- center" organization to make it easier for small businesses to compete in the international marketplace against the multinational cartels. They liked the concept and the opportunity to pursue it. They believed, as I did, that their employment was honorable, that Mr. Nugan and Mr. Hand were honorable, successful, and reliable businessmen, with the highest sense of personal integrity and genuine concern for their clients.

In response to queries about how the firm made money, Mr. Nugan gave me an extensive mathematical dissertation, supported by genuine money market documents, on how to "gross-up" the interest yield on money by buying and selling discounted bills of exchange on the lively Sydney market. He later held a conference of other employees to explain this important aspect of Nugan Hand's money market operation. He further informed me and others that his law practice yielded four to twelve million dollars per year (a false claim, nevertheless substantiated by two other lawyers and a CPA) and that the money was always available as a drawdown to protect our client's deposits.

When I first joined Nugan Hand, I undertook an intensive self-taught accounting and business-law course, at the suggestion of Mr. Nugan, as a first step to better equip myself to make business judgments and eventually assume a position of responsibility and authority in Nugan Hand Bank. In a letter dated 24 January 1977 Mr. Nugan wrote as follows:

Your title (which may be used on your business cards, letter heads, and in all business contexts) is "President, Swiss Pacific Bank and Trust Company." In this regard you shall be a member of the Board of Directors and shall be subject to the Managing Director, (Mr. Hand) and to the Chairman of the Board of Directors (Mr. Nugan) as well as to the Board of Directors meeting as a Board in the normal course. It is contemplated that as of about the time that an interest in the Bank is made available to you, the position of President will be given its full normal powers by the Board to the effect that you shall become the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank at that time.


The title became effective on 6 April 1977 and I resigned officially by letter on 12 October 1979, never having attended a board meeting or been given any executive authority. The cunning delays of Mr. Nugan (which I now believe were contrived to forestall me from gaining the authority and information that should have accompanied my title) prevented me from being able to determine the true financial status of the bank.

For example, in June 1977 Mr. Nugan gave me my first assignment: to call on the presidents of a hundred U.S. banks to tell them about Nugan Hand's guaranteed deposit arrangements. Though it yielded poor results, this four-month project and similar ones, such as the attempted purchases of various banks and the opening of new offices, constituted the major scope of my assigned duties and authorities and served as clever diversions to my efforts toward becoming an executive.

Following my resignation on 12 October 1979, I was placed on a consulting status to Mr. Hand personally, with no Nugan Hand Bank authority whatsoever. I was enrolled in the Harvard University Business School awaiting the scheduled formation of a Nugan Hand international holding company, in which I was promised options on a 20 percent interest and a seat on the board. Nugan Hand collapsed while I was still attending school, and I then learned that several others had been promised options on the same 20 percent.

Throughout my time of observation as president of Nugan Hand Bank, THE TRUE PATRIOTS served honestly and loyally the interests of Nugan Hand and its clients. They had grown up in the military service and spent their lives in the company of gentlemen well known for honesty and honor, where it is commonplace to risk one's life, not just one's money and reputation, based on the word of a colleague. Day-to-day association with that kind of integrity leads military men to trust their fellow man, and it should not be surprising that it led these men to trust me and my judgment. If any fault can be found, it was in this trust of me, for, to my knowledge, not one of them has committed any crime, violated any law, breached any ethical standard, nor performed any act for which they need be ashamed.

Furthermore, notwithstanding Mr. Kwitny's contempt for their findings, the Australian Royal Commission (the highest judicial body established to investigate the Nugan Hand affair) found no credible evidence to charge any of THE TRUE PATRIOTS with wrongdoing. In their investigation, one of the most thorough and widely reported in the history of the country, the commission developed 11,900 pages of testimony from 267 witnesses under oath. They searched the files of the FBI and held conferences with the highest officials in the CIA. They also found no credible evidence of involvement of the CIA. But where findings of the Royal Commission such as this do not fit his fabricated version of events, Mr. Kwitny casts suspicion on the integrity or intelligence of the commission.

It might be easy to say nothing and let the reader believe Mr. Kwitny's suggestion that THE TRUE PATRIOTS were all working for the CIA. To those about whom THE TRUE PATRIOTS care most, working for the CIA is certainly an honorable profession. But hiding behind that shield would be repugnant to each of them and disloyal to the many fine people who are, in fact, working for the CIA.

Mr. Kwitny does not have the benefit of a background in the military or intelligence services, yet he states authoritatively:

The men this book is mostly concerned with have lived their lives in a world of spying and secrecy.... they have been trained to keep the taxpayers from ... finding out what they do. Compunctions about lying have seldom impeded that effort. They entered their secret world under the cloak of patriotism....


Millions of men and women who have served in the military and intelligence services will easily recognize this as a gross distortion of the truth. They know from first-hand experience that military men and most intelligence officers live remarkably open lives, abhor lying, invite and welcome fair-minded outside attention, and often disguise the depth of patriotism that guides them. This obvious example of distortion is part of a consistent thread of deceit in Mr. Kwitny's descriptions of all the events about which I have first-hand knowledge and leads me to suspect comparable distortions about unfamiliar events throughout his text.

For example, his story that I "raced" to Sydney, Australia, to destroy records is almost totally false. Records of Customs, passports, and airlines and other documents readily show this. He even admits to possible error therein, but he nevertheless uses the story to advance the false accusation that I participated in the destruction of vital records. He also fails to note that the records of Nugan Hand Bank (the only Nugan Hand subsidiary in which I might reasonably be expected to have had some personal interest in the records) were located in Singapore, not Sydney.

Furthermore, he recounts minor and irrelevant differences in the accounts of witnesses, apparently to discredit the word of THE TRUE PATRIOTS, yet he fails to note the consistency of the testimonies of those PATRIOTS taken under oath, as was found by the Royal Commission.

He preposterously describes Nugan Hand's relatively small operation as "mammoth." If Nugan Hand was "mammoth," then what word is left to accurately describe Citicorp, a New York banking firm ten thousand (10,000) times the size of Nugan Hand? This sort of distortion pervades his work and makes one wonder about his motives and his efforts to achieve accuracy.

The book also describes an "elaborate code" system used to shield illegal activity. Yet, by any standard, it was the very simplest of codes, far less complicated than pig-latin, used principally to shorten cable messages. It was prominently posted by office telex machines, was widely distributed to employees, and was available to just about anyone who wanted to use it. Only the most unsophisticated and poorly informed would truly believe that this code could have been seriously used to conceal information. To stress on staff personnel a respect for clients' rights to privacy? Perhaps. But to hide from authorities?? One would have to assume that the authorities are stupid, blind, and illiterate, or that Mr. Kwitny merely wished to give a sinister cast to the story.

The book rails against THE TRUE PATRIOTS for failure, as insiders, to uncover and expose the alleged crimes of N ugan Hand, but Mr. Kwitny fails to note that three of the ten PATRIOTS never visited the Australian headquarters, where the alleged crimes were masterminded, directed, and executed; four of them made only one brief trip; and three made only two or three trips. I personally made only four short trips there, none longer than about ten days and two less than four days. None of THE TRUE PATRIOTS were employed by Nugan Hand Ltd. or any other Australian organization. None even knew about the various companies privately owned or controlled by Mr. Nugan and Mr. Hand, through which the alleged crimes were executed, and most certainly were never allowed to examine their records. The book does not reveal that only after three months of intensive analysis by an experienced former U.S. Federal Reserve Board bank examiner, and a suicide, did the examiner find reason to suspect the true status of Nugan Hand. Even after seven years of study, the liquidating authority, with full access to the records, has been unable to unravel completely the complex accounting and record system which Mr. Nugan had established. To what extent is a prudent man expected to go to establish the integrity of his employer? Should it not suffice to check the certified assurances of reputable accountants, supervising government authorities, clients, business associates, other employees, and the record of past performance?

Through artfully fallacious reasoning, Mr. Kwitny has created criminals out of some noble and unfortunate victims. By reprinting the lies, innuendos, half-truths, loose associations, and distortions of cheap scandal sheets, left-wing newspapers, and communist-fed, anti-American sources, he has, wittingly or unwittingly, served the interests of the Soviet Union and the KGB Disinformation Service.

Finally, even excluding its gross inaccuracies and distortions, this book fails to make a valid case that any of THE TRUE PATRIOTS committed any crime. None were shown to have been involved in or even to have had knowledge of any drug traffic, illegal arms sales, or laundering of money. None of the deposits of their clients violated any currency or banking laws. None of THE TRUE PATRIOTS benefited materially from their association with Nugan Hand, and the only imprudence for which they might be accused is that they trusted a fellow officer.

_______________

PUBLISHER'S NOTE:

The assertions and opinions in this afterword do not, obviously, reflect the views of the author. Admiral Yates's rebuttal is included here. at the author's request, because the book contains substantive criticisms of Admiral Yates's role in the Nugan Hand affair, and for five years he had refused to be interviewed by the author. The extraordinary offer of this opportunity to publish his views apparently induced the admiral to read proofs of The Crimes of Patriots.

This afterword has not been edited or altered. Mr. Kwitny stands by his account of the doings of Admiral Yates and his colleagues. The reader must decide for himself which version of events stands closer to the truth.

Acknowledgments

This book would not exist without Vicki Barker and Marian Wilkinson. Marian defined the Nugan Hand story. Only her fascination with television left it for someone else to write the book, and she has helped in that immeasurably. Even more important, Vicki defined me, and through some terrible times she single-handedly maintained a sense of mission-gave me the reason to be writing at all. She talked about a moral compass; if there is one, she is the magnetic north.

On a somewhat more mundane plane, both Vicki and Marian provided extensive editorial suggestions, as did Roben Sack and Anthony Scaduto. The reader owes much to Starling Lawrence, my editor at Norton, and to Ellen Levine, my agent, for suggesting revisions. In the case of this book, however, I must single out my friend and Wall Street Journal colleague John Emshwiller for totally voluntary and herculean work that was primarily responsible for helping me prune out the 20 percent of the original manuscript that was, if not unfit, at least unnecessary for human consumption. Thank you to all, especially John.

John Kelly, editor of the National Reporter, was of enormous research help, particularly on the Bishop, Baldwin segment, an episode about which he will probably write a fine book of his own. Jonathan Marshall, editor of the editorial page of the Oakland (California) Tribune, also played an important pan in alerting me to the significance of the Nugan Hand story, and to the work of Marian and her colleague at Australia's National Times, Brian Touhey.

For the first time, I have employed researchers to help with detail checking, and they performed sensationally. Vicki Contavespi in the United States was particularly energetic in turning' telephone calls that were originally aimed at locating some statistic into interviews that produced unsuspected new information. Both she and Andrew Keenan, of the Sydney Morning Herald, in Australia, plumbed court records and bothered numerous people with telephone calls to make sure this book is accurate.

Seth Lipsky, now editor of the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal/Europe but then foreign editor of the Wall Street Journal, is really the father of this book. It was at his suggestion, having just returned from a stint at the Journal's Hong Kong office in the spring of 1982, that I pulled open the file I had been keeping on Nugan Hand and began probing further. Lipsky had sensed the Nugan Hand story needed to be researched in more depth than the Hong Kong office was staffed for then, and the ensuing series of articles in the Journal proved him right.

Stewart Pinkerton, now the Journal's deputy managing editor but then the New York bureau manager, supported the project fully, including signing expense vouchers for some places pretty far from New York. Jack Cooper edited the series in the page-one department. Probably most important of all, Robert Sack lawyered it. And there was important support from a succession of managing editors, including Frederick Taylor (then executive editor, who fended off the Reed Irvine crowd, which, I'm sure he would agree, required far more patience than wit, though Fred has plenty of both), Laurence O'Donnell, and Norman Pearlstine.

A special thanks to Lee Burton, the Journal's accounting reporter, for taking time to apply the tests he considered necessary to ensure that my description of accounting fairly reflects the position of that profession as of the date of his examination.

Thanks to so many people who helped in the concurrent crises: my mother, the Kaplans, Bert and Phyllis Baker, all the Thalers, Tina and Jim Hempstead, Sara Singleton, Tony Scaduto and Stephanie Trudeau, Nancy Enright, Jeane Devlin, Cynthia Jacob, Jill Bullitt, John Emshwiller and Deborah Yaeger, Ellen Levine, Sue-Ann Bennet and Joe Forte, Dick and Arlene Gersh, Don Moffit and Ellen Graham, Ellen Castelluccio, Esther Wender, Sasha Linta, the Plainfield Friends meeting, and maybe most of all my housekeeper, Vicky George. There could never be enough thanks for all they've done.

And lastly a note for readers who may have run across certain other accounts of Nugan Hand that received attention elsewhere, and who may wonder why they are not referred to by me.

One memorable account, which I have noted in the text, was produced by a journalist I previously respected. I couldn't challenge some of it, since her words bore such a stunning resemblance to my own as published in the Wall Street Journal. (I have received lavish apologies-and meals-from both of her publishers and consider that matter closed.) Her account is padded out with familiar and undocumented assertions lifted from sources like Neil Evans and the Covert Action Information Bulletin.

A second account, written by James A. Nathan, a University of Delaware professor, appeared in Foreign Policy magazine, the issue of winter 1982-83. It contained sensational assertions about Nugan Hand and some persons in this book; it stated as fact things that I knew only as rumor or supposition. I eagerly called Professor Nathan to seek documentation, which wasn't provided in the article. Incredibly, he said his only documentation for the daring assertions was press clippings, including some from Communist and other strongly partisan and unreliable publications, and from small-publication journalists I knew to be unreliable. He added that he had "checked it with other people who have agency sources," though he declined to name any. He had not tried to talk to the people involved to hear their denials. Explaining behavior that reporters for any responsible publication would be pilloried for, Nathan said, "Don't get mad at me. I'm not making any of this stuff up. It's all been published.... I figure if it was wrong they [the people being written about] would have taken issue with the original source." Many statements in his article can now be proven wrong.

Finally, in the spring of 1987, a Washington group called the International Center for Development Policy held a press conference to distribute portions of a manuscript about Nugan Hand written by Peter Dale Scott, a University of California professor. In his manuscript, Professor Scott made strong assertions about Nugan Hand that will not be found in this book, and everything he says is carefully footnoted. And who is the source for his assertions, if you turn to the fine print and look at the footnotes? Why, Professor Nathan, of course.

And so it goes in academia.
