...their CIA handlers. But even after CIA officials discovered the ruse in 1991, they continued to send the White House and Pentagon top-secret reports based on what the doubles were telling them--and never bothered to warn in the reports that the information was suspect. CIA Director John Deutch last week called the lack of truth in labeling "an inexcusable lapse in elementary intelligence practice...
...Deutch well knows the impact of bad information. In 1993, in his previous job as Under Secretary of Defense, he himself received bogus Russian military secrets, Pentagon sources told Time. By then the CIA had finally begun to attach caveats to the reports that contained information from the double agents, but the labels were sometimes omitted or ignored by the customer.

...itinerary for the first of our 11 Newstours to circle the globe. We chose destinations that would let us explore the dynamics of countries facing tough transitions, primarily from socialism to freer markets and from autocracy to greater democracy.

During a period when isolationism is rising in the U.S., we wanted this Newstour to emphasize Time's commitment to international news and the connections between the U.S. and the complex forces...
...soldiers told them was the final cleansing. Once the process began, there was utter chaos. Soldiers, they say, went on a looting spree, stealing everything they could carry, engaging in indiscriminate beatings, raping dozens of women, holding children at knife point until mothers bought back their lives with hidden Deutch Marks and, finally, separating all men between the ages of 16 and 60 from their families before sending the women, elderly and children through dangerous mountain tracks that claimed the lives of at least 20 refugees...
