BISMARCKIRIBUNE.COM BISMARCK TRIBUNE SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 2003 11A North Dakotan Critchfield was powerful CIA insider NEW YORK (AP) James H. Critchfield, a powerful CIA insider during the Cold War whose anti-Soviet missions included recruiting former Third Reich operatives and supporting the Iraqi political party that put Saddam Hussein in power, has died. He was 86. Critchfield, a highly decorated U.S. Army colonel who led an assault battalion during World War II, died Tuesday from pancreatic cancer in Williamsburg, his family said.

Critchfield was born near Hunter, N.D., grew up in Fessenden and Fargo, and graduated from North Dakota State University. During a 26-year-old CIA career, Critchfield worked with the Dalai Lama of Tibet in a guerrilla war against Communist China and headed a CIA task force during the Cuban missile crisis.

Miller and Carrie L. Qualls Timothy S. Schaeffer and Holly N. Olson raced to secure satellites first in Eastern Europe, then in the Middle East. Timothy Naftali, an intelligence historian, said Critchfield's talents as a spymaster, soldier and diplomat put him at the heart of a half century of historic moments.

He described Critchfield's role in the CIA as analogous to that of a general commanding the most crucial missions. "What happened in Jim's lifetime was staggering," Naftali said. "Fighting the Nazis, then seeing a new global conflict emerge and fighting in that, then seeing that conflict move to the Third World and becoming a general in that." Critchfield was best known in intelligence circles as the CIA's liaison to the Gehlen Organization, a group of former Third Reich intelligence and military officials recruited by the Army because of their purported knowledge of the Soviet Union.
