[QUOTE]Originally posted by legaleagle: [QB] The question of USAID’s relation to the (An independent agency of the United States government responsible for collecting and coordinating intelligence and counterintelligence activities abroad in the national interest; headed by the Director of Central Intelligence under the supervision of the ) Central Intelligence Agency is a controversial one. Many assert that the CIA has used USAID to provide support for its programs. For example, Louis Wolf, co-publisher of CovertAction Quarterly, who worked in (A mountainous landlocked communist state in southeastern Asia; achieved independence from France in 1949) Laos from 1964 to 1967, asserts that some of the CIA personnel working in (Click link for more info and facts about Operation Phoenix) Operation Phoenix in (A communist state in Indochina on the South China Sea; achieved independence from France in 1945) Vietnam were working under USAID cover. In a lecture given in 2000 at the (Click link for more info and facts about University of the Philippines) University of the Philippines-Manila, Roland G. Simbulan described the importance of the CIA’s operations in the Philippines, and noted: “During my interview in 1996 with Ralph McGehee, a former CIA agent, and other former CIA operatives assigned to the Manila station, I was told that the CIA had many unheralded successes in the Philippines such as the manipulation of the trade union movement through the Asian-American Free Labor Institute (AAFLI) and through funds which were channeled thru the USAID, Asia Foundation and (Click link for more info and facts about National Endowment for Democracy) National Endowment for Democracy.” (*) Some claim that there was in the past, but no longer is, a relationship between the CIA and USAID.

She offers documentation to support her view that the USAID was part of an "intricate financing scheme" that used "millions of dollars in financing to build and maintain the opposition movement and finance the recall referendum campaign against President Chávez," and notes: "in June 2002, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) set up an Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) in the U.S. Embassy in (The capital and largest city of Venezuela) Caracas, allegedly for the purpose of helping Venezuela to resolve its political crisis. The OTI in Caracas has counted on more than US$15 million in funding from Congress since June 2002 and has recently requested five million more for 2005, despite the fact that it was only supposed to be a two-year endeavor. All evidence obtained to date shows that the OTI has primarily funded opposition groups and projects in Venezuela, particularly those that were focused on the August 15, 2004 recall referendum against President Chávez."
