SPY FACT OF THE DAY

Veil

Supposed code name for a disinformation program that the CIA is said to have planned against Muammaral Qaddafi, dictator of Libya. Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward said that he had seen memos about Veil and another similar plan, code-named Vector, and wrote a Post article about a "secret U.S. deception plan" in Oct. 1986.

President Reagan and his Director of Central Intelligence, Willaim J. Casey denied the existence of the program. Woodward used Veil as the title of his book on Casey and the CIA.
