On September 11, 1952, the PSB’s [Psychological Strategy Board] “Doctrinal Warfare Panel” met for the first time. Its priority was to find ways to target foreign elites.19Many “fronts” were quietly set up by the military through the CIA, which began to operate with the burgeoning of the “liberation movement.” The American Committee for the Liberation of the people of Russia (ACLPR), the Committee for a Free Europe (CFE),CommitteeforFreeAsia(CFA),andthe“MiddleEastCommittee”wereall officially set up as private ventures. Nonetheless, all of them were, in fact, the result of a military initiative under CIA operational guidance.20To some extent these developments bore out the remarks of Senator Edward Robertson, who, when the CIA was created on July 7, 1947, charged it with being an “invaluable asset to militarism.”21
