A lecture given in October 1987, THE SECRET WARS OF THE CIA, by John Stockwell, former CIA Station Chief in Angola in 1976, working for then Director of the CIA, George Bush (senior).  He spent 13 years in the agency.  He gives a short history of CIA covert operations.  He is a very compelling speaker and the highest-level CIA officer to testify to the Congress about his actions.  He estimates that over 6 million people have died in CIA covert actions, and this was in the late 1980's

Elite Troops Get Expanded Role on Intelligence
“The military is placing small teams of Special Operations troops in a growing number of American embassies to gather intelligence on terrorists in unstable parts of the world and to prepare for potential missions to disrupt, capture or kill them.”
“General Brown and the Special Operations Command now work according to a concept that has become the newest Pentagon catchphrase: "find, fix, finish and follow-up" — shorthand for locating terrorist leaders, tracking them precisely, capturing or killing them, and then using the information gathered to plan another operation.”
