But the office — known until recently as the Copley News Service — has a dark past.
According to investigative reports, Copley News Service reporters around the world served as handmaidens to the CIA during the Cold War. The story was revealed in 1977 when journalists Joe Trento and Dave Roman wrote a expose — “The Spies Who Came In From the Newsroom” — in Penthouse magazine.
“They certainly did their duty for the government,” said Trento in a phone interview today from his office in Washington D.C. While hundreds of journalists covertly worked with the CIA, no news agency was as intertwined with the spies as Copley News Service, Trento said.
<span style=" color: #000000;"><span style=" background-color: #FFF200;">“Copley literally had everybody in the office sending information to the CIA,</span></span>” said Trento, a book author and president of the Public Education Center, which operates online news services.
Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein described the journalists’ findings in<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.carlbernstein.com/magazine_cia_and_media.php" target="_blank" style=" box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0, 130, 201); text-decoration: none; line-height: inherit; opacity: 1;">a 1977 Rolling Stone article</a>:</p>

“The Agency’s involvement with the Copley organization is so extensive that it’s almost impossible to sort out,” said a CIA official who was asked about the relationship late in 1976. Other Agency officials said then that James S. Copley, the chain’s owner until his death in 1973, personally made most of the cover arrangements with the CIA.
According to Trento and Roman, <span style=" background-color: #FFF200;">Copley personally volunteered his news service to thenpresident Eisenhower to act as “the eyes and ears” against “the Communist threat in Latin and Central America” for “our intelligence services.” James Copley was also the guiding hand behind the InterAmerican Press Association, a CIAfunded organization with heavy membership among rightwing Latin American newspaper editors.</span></p>

That’s one of the reasons they’re targets.”
According to Trento, one part of his 1977 story didn’t get much attention: allegations that local journalists with the San Diego Union and The Tribune (which merged in 1992) gav<span style=" background-color: #FFF200;">e notes about and photographs of Vietnam anti-war protests to the FBI.</span>
“I thought it was outrageous,” Trento said.</p>

But as the correspondence in the Nixon archives make clear, there was little doubt that Copley was willing to do almost anything the vice president asked of him.
Nixon narrowly lost the 1960 presidential race to Kennedy, along with his 1962 “comeback” campaign against incumbent California Gov. Edmund G. “Pat” Brown, after which the ever-present Herb Klein could be seen hovering in the background as the failed candidate uttered his famous line, “You won’t have Nixon to kick around anymore, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference.”
But Copley never wavered, even during the lowest point of Nixon’s “desert years,” when the ex–vice president moved away from California, joined a Manhattan law firm, and sat out the 1964 debacle of Barry Goldwater’s landslide loss to Lyndon Johnson.
Four years later, Nixon beat Hubert Humphrey, and Copley, accompanied by his young second wife Helen, made a triumphant return to Washington to celebrate at the White House. It was a heady time. An era of peace, prosperity, and Republican domination seemed to beckon: Nixon said he had a “secret plan” to end the war in Vietnam.
As during all previous conflicts of the 20th Century, San Diego was vital to the war effort. Coronado-based warships plied the Vietnamese coast and deltas. Miramar-trained fighter squadrons dueled with MIGs over Hanoi. Ironworkers labored in the bowels of the Navy Rework Facility. Much of the local economy still depended heavily on the Navy payroll.
When sailors came home from the sea, they spent their liberty at the peep shows and honky-tonks strung out along downtown’s lower Broadway. When they were killed in action, they were put to rest at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery on Point Loma. To Copley and many of the readers of the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em style=" margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 15.199999809265137px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Union<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></em>and<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em style=" margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 15.199999809265137px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Evening Tribune,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></em>waging the war until absolute victory over the Vietnamese Communists was a matter of faith.
By the mid-1960s, however, there was something new in the town’s political mix. True to the booster roots of his father, Copley had led the crusade to build a new University of California campus on Torrey Pines mesa. The growing city owned thousands of acres of open space remaining from a Spanish land grant. After a Copley-backed referendum campaign in 1958, the city’s voters easily approved ceding a big chunk of the coveted property to the state in exchange for the promised economic and cultural riches the university would bring.
UC delivered the promised material wealth; it also brought to town something else Copley and his conservative business allies had not bargained for. Antiwar radicals, led by German philosopher Herbert Marcuse, a scholar of Hegel and Marx, took up residence there and began talking revolution.
As resistance to the war grew, so did San Diego street protests. The city had seen nothing like them since the darkest days of the Great Depression, when radicals clashed with nightstick-wielding policemen, and the Copley papers railed against the “vicious Reds” besieging the city.
In the 1960s, Copley photographers recall being dispatched to the rallies at UCSD and taking thousands of pictures of the student demonstrators; few if any of the photographs ever made the paper. The rest, the old-timers believed, were being sent to the FBI for analysis.
Among the protestors were many of Marcuse’s graduate students. In 1966 one of them was 24-year-old Lowell Bergman, the future muckraker and<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em style=" margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 15.199999809265137px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">60 Minutes<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></em>producer, who decided to start an underground newspaper.

“Our focus became the wealthiest and most powerful members of the community. And so it was that number one was a gentleman by the name of C. Arnholt Smith — Mr. San Diego of the Century. Number two was one John Alessio — Mr. San Diego for 1969.
“In the tightly controlled world of San Diego, they reigned with undisputed power. We told the story of how Alessio used his political clout (in the Democratic Party) to get the Navy to give in to building a bridge to nearby Coronado Island and his new renovated hotel, the Del Coronado.
“Then Smith, Alessio’s mentor and partner, used his own political clout (in the Republican Party) to garner all kinds of favors from his favorite politician, Richard Nixon. Smith was his first big contributor back in 1946 and was alone with him on election night in 1968. Suffice it to say that Smith and his bank and conglomerate were heavily involved in dealing with and influencing city politicians and the police bureaucracy.
“All this started appearing in detail in our pages, which resulted in all kinds of vigilante attacks, harassment, and fire bombs, with a few arrests sprinkled in. We survived; the two gentlemen — and a cast of other characters — wound up going to jail. It just took a couple of years and a lot of harassment.”
Bergman may have overstated the role of San Diego’s nascent underground press in bringing about the end of the Smith era.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em style=" margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 15.199999809265137px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">TIME<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></em>magazine reported in March 1970 that the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em style=" margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 15.199999809265137px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Street Journal</em>’s October 1969 piece on Smith that triggered the violence against the paper was “essentially a rehash of a<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em style=" margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 15.199999809265137px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Wall Street Journal<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></em>story.”</p>

<p>Prior to Copley terminating the synidcation of his column Bandow's column was carried by numerous major newspapers. He has also written for magazines such as <i><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Fortune_Magazine&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Fortune Magazine (page does not exist)">Fortune</a></i>. Bandow also speaks regularly in front of students and business groups and frequently appeared as a radio and television <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Commentator&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Commentator (page does not exist)">commentator</a>.<a href="http://www.cato.org/people/bandow.html" class="external autonumber" title="http://www.cato.org/people/bandow.html" rel="nofollow">[2]</a></p>

A former visiting fellow at the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Heritage_Foundation" title="Heritage Foundation">Heritage Foundation</a>, he served as a special assistant to President <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Ronald_Reagan" title="Ronald Reagan">Ronald Reagan</a>. However, he has become a vocal critic of President <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=George_W._Bush" title="George W. Bush" class="mw-redirect">George W. Bush</a>, calling on him to "apologize to Americans" for his policies in Iraq. Bandow is a member of the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Coalition_for_a_Realistic_Foreign_Policy" title="Coalition for a Realistic Foreign Policy">Coalition for a Realistic Foreign Policy</a>.
Bandow is also a member of the Board of Scholars of the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Virginia_Institute_for_Public_Policy" title="Virginia Institute for Public Policy">Virginia Institute for Public Policy</a>.</p>
<p>
<b><span style=" color: #ED1C24;">In December 2005 Businessweek revealed Bandow had "accepted money from </span></b><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Jack_Abramoff" title="Jack Abramoff"><b><span style=" color: #ED1C24;">Abramoff</span></b></a><b><span style=" color: #ED1C24;"> for writing betwee</span></b>n 12 and 24 articles over a period of years, beginning in the mid '90s." The articles - for which Bandow was paid up to $2,000 a piece - reflected the interests of Abramoff's clients. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/17/politics/17abramoff.html?hp&ex=1134795600&en=b42957e35d5d2158&ei=5094&partner=homepage" class="external autonumber" title="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/17/politics/17abramoff.html?hp&ex=1134795600&en=b42957e35d5d2158&ei=5094&partner=homepage" rel="nofollow">[3]</a></p>
<p>
The <i>New York Times</i> reported that Abramoff's clients included the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. "In one column in 2001, Mr. Bandow extolled the free-market system that had allowed the Marianas to thrive, saying that fighting terrorism was no excuse for "economic meddling" - the same position that Mr. Abramoff was being paid to advance," Anne E. Kornblut and Philip Shenon wrote. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/17/politics/17abramoff.html?hp&ex=1134795600&en=b42957e35d5d2158&ei=5094&partner=homepage" class="external autonumber" title="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/17/politics/17abramoff.html?hp&ex=1134795600&en=b42957e35d5d2158&ei=5094&partner=homepage" rel="nofollow">[4]</a></p>
<p>
In a 1997 column Bandow wrote of the Choctaws gambling interests that "there's certainly no evidence that Indian gambling operations harm the local community." <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/17/politics/17abramoff.html?hp&ex=1134795600&en=b42957e35d5d2158&ei=5094&partner=homepage" class="external autonumber" title="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/17/politics/17abramoff.html?hp&ex=1134795600&en=b42957e35d5d2158&ei=5094&partner=homepage" rel="nofollow">[5]</a>
