Beyond the key operational military commanders, only a few high civilian officials knew the nature of the secret mission. They included Vice President Mondale, Brown, Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, Deputy Secretary of State Warren Christopher, National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, CIA Director Stansfield Turner and White House Chief of Staff Hamilton Jordan. Not even Stuart Eizenstat, Carter's chief adviser on domestic policy, was told about the raid. In mid-April Carter summoned the team's leaders to the White House Situation Room and wished them well on their perilous mission...
...words of Thomas A. Bartlett, president of the American Association of Universities, "as notable bulwarks of academic freedom." Bok developed the first and only set of guidelines regulating intelligence agency activities on campus, and has been a vocal spokesman for these freedoms, consistenly challenging CIA director Stansfield Turner's rebuttals. In the midst of his concern for federal problems, however, Bok, one community leader says, has ignored problems closer to home.

There can be "unique circumstances," Turner said, in which clergymen are "the only means available" to operate...
...Carter mistrusts his emotionalism and theatricality. No one fills the policy void, and decisions have to be made under pressure, sometimes by men in a state of late-night exhaustion. Defense Secretary Harold Brown is regarded as a skilled technocrat but cautious to a fault on policymaking. CIA Director Stansfield Turner makes a very limited contribution. Adding to the disarray, Carter has repeatedly replaced his chief emissary to the Middle East. After Vance came Robert Strauss, who was soon succeeded by Sol Linowitz in a role in which continuity is of great importance...
