I know me and Bit already shed our crocodile tears for the departed Philip Agee.   However a like item caught my eye in the morning fish wrapper, from the Associated Press:

Philip AgeeHis wife, Giselle Roberge Agee, told the Associated Press that Agee was hospitalized in Havana on Dec. 16 and underwent surgery for perforated ulcers. His death, she said, was the result of a related infection. He had lived primarily in Hamburg, Germany, but kept an apartment in Havana, she said

The fish wrapper also mentioned the body was cremated.   Did not find that particular version of the story on line.    So think about this, Agee had what seemed like some what routine surgery in a country for which Micheal Moore lauds as the standard for medical care.   Fidel Castro and Yassar Arafat were not available for comment.

Agee died not a  direct result of the surgery but from a related infection   Had the surgery taken place in the United States it seems like the type of case where the barrister John Edward made his living, medical malpractice.

Lucky for Raul Castro, Cuba enjoys sovereign immunity from the results of her medical care and the evidence has already been destroyed  So sorry John.
