Wonder why CIA hates ex-intelligence officer Philip Agee?....

They say it's because in his book "Inside The Company" he named field agents who were tracked down and eliminated. Which prompted the enactment of the Intelligence Identities Act. Reason enough to be upset with the ex-official.....

But another aspect of what these Intelligence officials are pissed at is his revelation of "methods of operation" and revelations of the ideology driving the Agency and for whom it serves....If I were part of the super-wealthy elite, I'd be pissed too...check out this eye-opening interview he gave to Playboy Magazine..

and he's been on their payroll for years. i.e, a traitor. Just another shill for a leftwing dictatorship. I can't stand apologists for RW dictatorships (ie, Jeane Kirkpatrick) why should I like those who make simular excuses for left wing one??

9. What?

What does that have to do with the nefarious historical record of US involvement in Latin America that Agee lays out for everyone to see?

Your perfectly satisfied with dismissing him as a "shill" and pidgeon-holing everything he has revealed as an "apologist for a leftwing dictatorship?"

You obviously miss the point.

4. I just finished reading the full interview...

Absolutely fascinating and enlightening. I hate to think what mischief the company is up to now.

5. I'm listening to Pacifica Radio on the net...

and chose the "whole show" link. They said that there will be an interview with Agee. I guess it's going to be in a little while. This is my first time listening to this station. I don't know if this is live or a replay when you click the link.
