- The CIA is going to be more decentralized, more efficient
and use more international companies as front cover. What is the impact
of this doctrine on India?
-
- The CIA plans to relocate its National Resources Division,
responsible for domestic operations and recruitment, from the agency's
headquarters in Langley, Virgina, to Denver, the Washington Post reported
on May 6 citing U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials. The officials
said the move reflects the desire of CIA director Porter Goss to develop
new techniques for undercover operations, including establishing front
companies and closer ties with prominent international firms, as well as
reducing the growth of the agency's headquarters.
-
- Increasing number of multinational corporations' presence
in India brings FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) and outsourcing jobs. But
the baggage can be heavy based on this new CIA doctrine. There is a bonanza
of American, European and Japanese companies, which have started or are
planning to start operations in India. Now based on this new media release,
these companies can be used to keep an eye on internal matters, military
and even politicians of India.
-
- While the FDIs are desirable, India may have to spend
enormous amount of money in counter intelligence to deter these corporations
from indulging in intelligence tactics on India.
-
- Research Analysis Wing (RAW), India's elite intelligence
counterpart to CIA has in the recent past tough experience with CIA. One
of the RAW directors who according to the rumor world, was a double agent,
defected to America through Nepal after being caught stealing intelligence
details. The rumor world says, RAW many more moles from many intelligence
organizations of many countries.
-
- According to some think tanks, the new intelligence tactics
and new techniques for undercover operations may include recruiting prominent
politicians. Again rumor world says, some politicians from all the parties
in India including the Communists are on foreign intelligence pay rolls.
-
- The outsourcing bandwagon to India now looks like a reminiscent
of East India Company from Britain many hundreds of years back which came
to buy cheap spice in India and finally needed up hijacking the country
using intelligence techniques, bribing the military commanders of Indian
Kings and Sultans like Mirjaffar (Bengal - Palasey) and more.
-
- This does not mean India or China should get scared of
receiving FDI. This just means all FDIs come with sufficient baggage, which
Indian politicians refuse to accept as a fact.
