Was I a CIA Spy? 50 Years On, I Still Don’t Know

Was I a CIA Spy? 50 Years On, I Still Don’t Know
Longtime ABC News commentator Jeff Greenfield had a moment of clarity. He read a “fascinating” new book, Patriotic Betrayal, and realized that he may have been an “unwitting” stooge for the CIA when he took CIA-funded trips as a college student in the 1960s. However, in spite of his journalistic acumen and an on-camera admission from fellow traveler Gloria Steinem that she was a CIA informant during similar trips, Greenfield says he’s still clueless about the extent of his complicity.

Was I a CIA Spy? 50 Years On, I Still Don’t Know
A new book tells the story of how the CIA used unwitting college kids to send in reports from Third World countries. And I was one of them.

In 1963, I was a 20-year-old college senior who’d never been out of the country. With parents of modest means, summers meant working for spare cash, not backpacking through Europe or lounging on the beaches of Majorca. So when an invitation came to spend a month traveling through Southeast Asia as part of a student delegation, I leapt at the chance.

We’d be traveling under the banner of the U.S. National Student Association, a confederation of more than 300 colleges and universities across the country, and one whose liberal positions on civil rights and foreign policy had made it a target of a concerted conservative assault. (William F. Buckley’s Young Americans for Freedom was constantly urging student governments to disaffiliate). More significant, NSA (the student group, not the National Security Agency) was, I knew, a proudly independent organization, neither speaking for, nor subservient to, the U.S government—a sharp contrast with organizations like the International Union of Students, a Prague-based wholly-owned subsidiary of the Soviet Union. Indeed, the NSA gave rhetorical and financial support to dissident student groups in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, fighting repressive governments supported by official U.S. policy.
