...perhaps the domestic issue which offers the most compelling reason for a Mondale vote is the area of simple justice for the citizenry. Mondale's proposals sound a clarion call to reversing four years of back-pedalling in enforcing civil rights, maintaining civil liberties, and keeping the Church off-limits in the legislation of our private lives. Particularly disturbing is the prospect that, in a second term, Reagan would be able to name several Supreme Court justices, which could etc his rigidly rightwing conception of the law into the books for decades to come...

The matter-of-fact Macchiavellianism of the CIA's booklet underscores the ugly truth that we are not with the good guys, which is not to imply that we are lighting them, either...
