What does Operation Paperclip say about the US' commitment to democracy and justice?

Question

Operation PAPERCLIP – While other American agencies are hunting down Nazi war criminals for arrest, the U.S. intelligence community is smuggling them into America, unpunished, for their use against the Soviets. The most important of these is Reinhard Gehlen, Hitler’s master spy who had built up an intelligence network in the Soviet Union. With full U.S. blessing, he creates the "Gehlen Organization," a band of refugee Nazi spies who reactivate their networks in Russia. These include SS intelligence officers Alfred Six and Emil Augsburg (who massacred Jews in the Holocaust), Klaus Barbie (the "Butcher of Lyon"), Otto von Bolschwing (the Holocaust mastermind who worked with Eichmann) and SS Colonel Otto Skorzeny (a personal friend of Hitler’s). The Gehlen Organization supplies the U.S. with its only intelligence on the Soviet Union for the next ten years, serving as a bridge between the abolishment of the OSS and the creation of the CIA.

However, much of the "intelligence" the former Nazis provide is bogus. Gehlen inflates Soviet military capabilities at a time when Russia is still rebuilding its devastated society, in order to inflate his own importance to the Americans (who might otherwise punish him). In 1948, Gehlen almost convinces the Americans that war is imminent, and the West should make a preemptive strike. In the 50s he produces a fictitious "missile gap." To make matters worse, the Russians have thoroughly penetrated the Gehlen Organization with double agents, undermining the very American security that Gehlen was supposed to protect.

Answer 1

What you are leaving out is the fact that as a result of Project Paperclip, over 1,000 German Scientists were brought into the US without the knowledge of the State department, many of them members of the Nazi party who had engaged in war time atrocities. The entire story, which is a blight on our history is told in full in two books: One appropriately named "Project Paperclip: German Scientists and the Cold War" by Clarence J. Lasky. Published in 1975. Here is a quote from the Lasky Book: " "Project Paperclip -- A successful American operation which brought
to the U.S. literally hundreds of top aerospace and munitions
experts from Nazi Germany to form the corporate leadership and the expertise behind the technological and military advances of a growing military-industrial complex." The other one is Linda Hunt's book, Secret Agenda, The United States Government, Nazi Scientists,and Project Paperclip, 1945-1990. St. Martin's Press, 1991. Unfortunately both book are out of print. For more information on some of the people who we brought to this country under this program see the BBC article, published in November 2005 entitled "Project Paperclip, The Dark Side of the Moon. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4443934.stm
When I look at the history of Project Paperclip and see how the US Intelligence community bent over backwards to bring Nazi Criminals into this country for the purpose of using their expertise in our battle against the Soviets, I wonder why we are so loathe to giving immigrants who want to come to this country simply to provide a better life for themselves and their families legal status. What does Operation Project Paper clip say about our Commitment to Democracy and Justice? I think of it this way...... Nazi war criminals YES; Immigrants, NO

Answer 2

To be honest I feel 2 things 1 - This has to be a trick question because even you has to know this is just bad . 2 - You fail to mention this was when the U.S. was starting up the CIA and needed people with brains who knew how to do certian things and also how to perfect things they already knew . This operation was mainly for the CIA which the US Government knew about and supported because they thought we needed a CIA to prevent another Pearl Harbor .
