Jan, if you have the time at some point could you paraphrase your own thoughts on the Gehlen Org (along with the other issues you mentioned) and generally indicate where you think Oglesby was off-base? I don't doubt that he may have been but I'm curious as to what your personal opinions are regarding the Org and its influence on US politics. (You might have already discussed this elsewhere on the forum). I find the presence of a Nazi intelligence group within the US apparatus to be seemingly of massive importance with the various conspiracies we've all been looking at, but - aside from John Judge, who has covered the G.O's likely influence on the JFK assassination in an article or two - I've had trouble getting a general feeling as to what folks feel their specific influence was. The Gehlen Org seems to lie within a blind spot in US history, acknowledged but rarely discussed in depth.
