Here’s one guy who will decidedly not be missed….
HAVANA —AP– Philip Agee, a former CIA agent who caused outrage by naming former colleagues, has died following ulcer surgeries, Cuban state media reported Wednesday. He was 72.
Agee quit the CIA in 1969 after 12 years working mostly in Latin America at a time when leftist movements were gaining prominence and sympathizers.
His 1975 book “Inside the Company: CIA Diary” alleged CIA misdeeds against leftists in the region and included a 22-page list of purported agency operatives, infuriating U.S. officials who said it had endangered agents’ lives.
Agee’s U.S. passport was revoked in 1979. After years of living in Germany — occasionally underground, fearing CIA retribution — Agee moved to Havana.
Granma, Cuba’s Communist Party newspaper, said Agee died Monday night and described him as “a loyal friend of Cuba and fervent defender of the peoples’ fight for a better world.”
The guy sold out his soul, and his country, trying to make the world safer for socailism. May he forever roast somewhere quite warm.
Addendum: (David L)
Exile in Cuba. How delicous! Dead at Seventy-two, the SOB got off easy. Wish he could have lived to a hundred.
