Yet Gates raked analysts over the coals, accusing them of trying to “stick our finger in the policy maker’s eye,” Ekedahl testified. Gates, unhappy with the terrorism assessment, put his hand into rewriting the draft “to suggest greater Soviet support for terrorism and the text was altered by pulling up from the annex reports that overstated Soviet involvement.”
In his memoirs, From The Shadows, Gates denied politicizing the CIA’s intelligence product. He admitted only that he was aware of [William] Casey’s “hostile reaction to the analysts’ disagreement with right-wing theories about Soviet-directed terrorism.” In fact, Casey and Gates undermined the whole intelligence process.
