CIA employed "moderate" Nazis?

"In the decades after World War II, the C.I.A. and other United States agencies employed at least a thousand Nazis as Cold War spies and informants and, as recently as the 1990s, concealed the government's ties to some still living in America, newly disclosed records and interviews show." "Mr. Dulles believed "moderate" Nazis might "be useful" to America, records show." What irked me most about this, aside from the obvious, is that while the US employed hundreds of Nazi terrorists it complained about a handful of Germans living in exile in Egypt.
