Ray McGovern bio STTP

Ray McGovern’s 27-year career as a CIA analyst spanned administrations from John F. Kennedy to George H. W. Bush. Ray is now co-director of the Servant Leadership School, which provides training and other support for those seeking ways to be in relationship with the marginalized poor. The School is one of ten Jubilee Ministries, not-for-profit organizations inspired by the ecumenical Church of the Saviour and established in an inner-city neighborhood in Washington, DC.

The department Ray heads at the School deals with the biblical injunction to “speak truth to power,” and this, together with his experience in intelligence analysis, accounts for his various writings and media appearances over the past year. His focus dovetails nicely with the passage carved into the marble entrance to CIA Headquarters: “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free”—the ethic mandating that CIA analysts were to “tell it like it is” without fear or favor.

1. I had the honor of meeting McGovern last month...

I'm not saying this to brag, but to emphasize your point. He's traveling the country speaking out whenever he can about the wrongs this regime has committed. I wrote about his lecture at our local college here ===> http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/4/14/84529/4983 if you want to get a sense of how well this man does indeed speak truth to power.

He's also a part of a group called Truth Tellers Coalition with Daniel Ellsberg and other experts who are speaking out.

3. Excellent report, thanks!

Well written.

Ray McGovern has been more active than I realized. He should be placed at the top of people that are payed attention to.

2. Ray is my idea of a Christian and a great citizen!

I watched in progressively-minded documentaries many times. He is very articulate.
