Senate backs secrecy bill on identifying CIA agents
The Senate Judiciary Committee will vote October 6 on a Reagan administration bill criminalizing identifying a secret U.S. intelligence agent if disclosure is believed to hinder U S intelligence. Triggered by Philip Agee disclosures and Counter Spy, the CIA says such leaks threaten agents and contacts abroad. The House panel approved a similar measure targeting disclosers who intend to harm American intelligence, a standard the Senate bill tightens. The ACLU opposes it, arguing it defends a controversial right-wing stance and reflects its longstanding leftward tilt.
