Termination Files of Krunoslav Draganovic
These three files - each representing one of Father Krunoslav Draganovic's three known codenames in the CIA - were composed two weeks after Draganovic's termination from US intelligence. Context makes the various numbered entries easy to discern: (1) Draganovic's date and place of birth; (2) his full name; (3) current address and phone; (4) profession and title; (5) nationality; (6) sex; (7) height; (8) weight; (9) hair color; (10) eye color; (11) distinguishing features; (12) unknown; (13) termination classification ("with prejudice") and date; (14) unknown; (15) reasons for termination - by far the most interesting part of these documents. Senior Agent "SARDI" noted after his first meeting with Draganovic in May 1959 that the Croat priest was venal, a liar, and demanded, essentially, that the United States back his neo-Ustase organization to the hilt. Not only was SARDI proven to be absolutely correct, but Draganovic is now "too knowledgeable of unit personnel and activity." Four years after this, in September 1967, Draganovic defected to Yugoslavia, thus ending with a coup de grace what may have been one of the most disastrous chapters in the history of US intelligence.
