Declassified CIA documents reveal plan to elect U.S. sympathizer as PM following occupation

Monday, July 27th, 2009

the Mainichi Daily News
A declassified U.S. document has shown that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) attempted to make key conservative politician Taketora Ogata Japan’s prime minister in the 1950s, in a bid to place the nation under U.S. control.
The document describes a plan by the CIA to make Ogata — former leader of the Japan Liberal Party, who played a leading role in merging conservative parties into the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in 1955 — the prime minister, adding that it would allow the United States to manipulate the Japanese government to suit its interests.
Waseda University Prof. Taketoshi Yamamoto, Hitotsubashi University postgraduate school Prof. Tetsuro Kato and Rikkyo University instructor Noriaki Yoshida took a year to analyze the five-volume, 1,000-page CIA document declassified in 2005.

CIA:緒方竹虎を通じ政治工作 50年代の米公文書分析

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

毎日新聞
 1955年の自民党結党にあたり、米国が保守合同を先導した緒方竹虎・自由党総裁を通じて対日政治工作を行っていた実態が25日、CIA(米中央情報局)文書(緒方ファイル)から分かった。CIAは緒方を「我々は彼を首相にすることができるかもしれない。実現すれば、日本政府を米政府の利害に沿って動かせるようになろう」と最大級の評価で位置付け、緒方と米要人の人脈作りや情報交換などを進めていた。米国が占領終了後も日本を影響下に置こうとしたことを裏付ける戦後政治史の一級資料と言える。
山本武利早稲田大教授(メディア史)と加藤哲郎一橋大大学院教授(政治学)、
吉田則昭立教大兼任講師(メディア史)が、05年に機密解除された米公文書館の緒方ファイル全5冊約1000ページを、約1年かけて分析した。

Secrecy and the Media

“Secrecy and the Media” The Official History of the United Kingdom’s

D-Notice System (Routledge、London)
Because the D?Notice System belongs not just to officials and government but equally to the media, this book is unusually both an official record and a media history, and its content and style reflect this. It is written for several audiences: for academe, with appropriate sources and cross-references; for officials/military/spooks and journalists/authors/publishers who must interact with each other over national security matters, as an adjunct to their preparation, whether on the job or in colleges of journalism; and for the public.
This book covers from the late Victorian era out of whose military and media developments and clashes the System emerged, through colonial and World wars and terrorism, to the aftermath of the Cold War. Author, Nicholas Wilkinson has a good friendship with Prof. Naoki Monna. [ Mitsuko Komine]
