The effort President Bush authorized shortly after Sept. 11, 2001, to
fight al Qaeda has grown into the largest CIA covert action program
since the height of the Cold War, expanding in size and ambition
despite a growing outcry at home and abroad over its clandestine
tactics, according to former and current intelligence officials and
congressional and administration sources.
The broad-based effort, known within the agency by the initials GST,
is compartmentalized into dozens of highly classified individual
programs, details of which are known mainly to those directly
involved.
GST includes programs allowing the CIA to capture al Qaeda suspects
with help from foreign intelligence services, to maintain secret
prisons abroad, to use interrogation techniques that some lawyers say
violate international treaties, and to maintain a fleet of aircraft to
move detainees around the globe.
Other compartments within GST give the CIA enhanced ability to mine
international financial records and eavesdrop on suspects anywhere in
the world.
Over the past two years, as aspects of this umbrella effort have burst
into public view, the revelations have prompted protests and official
investigations in countries that work with the United States, as well
as condemnation by international human rights activists and criticism
by members of Congress.
Still, virtually all the programs continue to operate largely as they
were set up, according to current and former officials.
