narcotics factories in operation, which refine from 50% to
70% of the world's drugs.
In 1977, Edward Jay Epstein revealed the true story
behind Watergate.
Nixon's Domestic Council was a group of aggressive
young men trying to outmaneuver each other with new
programs. Gordon Liddy, trying to break into this circle,
conceived an ambitious program called Operation
Intercept. It was not a surveillance program, but was
designed to "intercept" the flow of drugs into the U.S.
Nixon in his 1968 campaign had promised to "move
against the source of drugs". A special Presidential Task
Force Relating to Narcotics, Marijuana and Dangerous
Drugs had been formed, but had taken no action. Liddy
got Egil Krogh, Nixon's Presidential Deputy for Law
Enforcement, to introduce the program at a meeting of
the Domestic Council. Richard Helms director of the CIA,
was among those present. The plan was officially
approved by Ehrlichman in July, 1970 as a major
operation against the heroin traffic.
There still was no real program, merely a public relations
ploy, but, senior staff people at CIA panicked. They
feared that their vast Asia operations, funded by their
drug operations, could be wiped out. Liddy, meeting with
State and CIA officials, says:
"I pressed CIA on the problems of the Golden Triangle of Burma; Richard
Helms replied 'Any move in that area would be impractical'."
