The CIA's Nazis

Faciong public hearings before Congress if they didn't come around, the CIA has agreed to release documents showing its ties to ex-Nazis. Congress passed a law requiring the CIA to turn over all documents on the matter back in 1998 -- but the CIA insisted until now that the law didn't apply to all their papers. The Nazis in question were apparently never charged with war crimes. But they include former SS members. The CIA is believed to have enlisted the Nazis to aid in espionage against the former Soviet Union. (LAT)
