Action overreaction Seattle up former Cia director Stansfield Turner said sunday he believes the United states overreacted by sending Navy ves Sels into the Gulf of Sidra to Challenge the territorial claims of libyan Leader Moa mar khad Afy. Turner a retired Admiral said the United states alien ated its allies by going into the Gulf spoiling for a fight. Turner there is no question khad Afy is involved in terrorist activity and should be put in his place but when we went in there with All our ships it appeared to the world we were trying to unseat khad Afy he said in a speech to a convention of restaurateurs in Seattle. Turner who was Cia chief under president Carter suggested it would have been better for . Ships to have entered the Gulf quietly to establish their right to be there. People would have been More sympathetic than if we had gone in there with a Chip on our shoulder Turner said of the resulting confrontation with libyan Mili tary forces. Libya fired at least six missiles at Navy warplanes and the United states responded by bombing libyan radar Sites and sinking libyan patrol boats late last month. Turner said it would be foolish to think the United states succeeded in curbing khad Afy s terrorist activities through a confrontation essentially designed to demonstrate Freedom of the seas in the Gulf of Sidra. Losing a few boats and radar Sites is not going to turn khad Afy into a gentle fellow Turner said. Instead Turner said such acts Only encourage terrorists to step up their activities against the United states and undermine efforts to work with other nations in fighting International terror ism. We re alienating All our european Al lies because they re seeing what we re trying to do As a political action and not an anti terrorist action Turner said. Alone we re not going to pressure Kha Day into doing what we think he  Turner also took a shot at president Reagan s support of the Contra rebels trying to topple the leftist government in Nicaragua As further undermining relations with allies by making it appear the United states supports a terrorist group in latin America. I feel the contras activity is largely terrorist activity Turner said. They re not a military organization trying to fight the sandinista. They re blowing up Bridges and keeping Farmers from tending their  a we aide to replace adulterous pastor Bangor Maine a an associate of the Rev.
