The CIA was operating in its legitimate sphere-foreign intelligence; and the operation was still going on, Colby had personally pleaded for restraint, and there was in any disclosure a risk of severe damage to U.S.-U.S.S.R. détente. In hindsight, however, some journalists are wondering whether the CIA wanted the story out for its own reasons (see THE NATION...
