From Anthropology goes to war: Professional Ethics and Counterinsurgency in Thailand by Eric Wakin
In late March 1970 the Student Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam (SMC) sent selected anthropologists copies of a series of documents detailing extensive contacts between distinguished American academics and the U.S. Defense Department.’ Among the recipients were two members of the newly formed Committee o n Ethics of the American Anthropological Association (AAA)-its chair, Eric Wolf, and Joseph Jorgensen. The documents, which had been copied surreptitiously from the files of anthropologist Michael Moerman, suggested that a number of American social scientists had been doing contract and consultation work for the Defense Department. Most importantly, the documents also seemed to indicate that these social scientists were providing information that was being used in an ongoing U.S. counterinsurgency campaign in Thailand.
