Gardner Rugg "Gus" Hathaway was from 1985 to 1990 chief of the CIA's Counterintelligence Staff and its Counterintelligence Center successor.[1][2] Before that, he was responsible for torture and mass disappearances as Chief of Station in Latin America.[3]
Career
In March 1977 famed Argentine journalist Rodolfo Walsh denounced Hathaway as one of those responsible for what has become known as the "genocide": the mass disappearances of thousands of Argentinians and their assumed assassinations at the hands of the Argentine military who took power in March, 1976. "The certain participation in these crimes of the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Police, directed by officers trained by the CIA through AID such as Police Commissioners Juan Gattei and Antonio Getter, who themselves take orders from Mr. Gardner Hathaway... is the seedbed of future revelations similar to those which today shock the international community. These revelations will not be exhausted when they expose the role of the CIA along with senior officers of the army headed by Benjamin Menendez in the creation of the 'Libertadores de America' lodge which replaced the 'Triple A' (Argentine Anti-Communist Alliance, a paramilitary rightwing organization) until its...functions were assumed by the junta…", wrote Walsh in an open letter to General Videla in March 1977 only to be kidnapped himself the next day. Recent testimonies indicate that he was assassinated shortly afterwards.[4]
In Uruguay he oversaw the implementation of Operation Condor, a US-backed campaign of assassination and terrorisation.
The Uruguayan Defense Intelligence Services (SID) deputy directory and colonel José Fons linked the Uruguayan Armed Forces to Plan Cóndor after serving as the country’s representative for the operation’s late 1975 founding meeting in Santiago. [Argentinian] SIDE officer Rolando Oscar Nerone headed a special task force within the Triple A to pursue and kidnap leftist exiles in Buenos Aires. The task force included Juan Gattei, a recipient of a USAID scholarship in 1962 and employee of the Department of Foreign Affairs within the Federal Police— a branch overseen by CIA station chief M. Gardener Hathaway. Inside Orletti, Uruguayan colonel José Nino Gavazzo led torture and interrogation practices against Uruguayan detainees alongside fellow Uruguayan officers who belonged to the sixty-person strong División 300.[5]
