My Favorite Traitor: Philip Agee vs. the Nationalist Superstition
http://monacojerry.livejournal.com/77523.html"

On the occasion of Philip Agee's death I reflect upon the first time I read "Inside the Company."

In 1975 I picked up Agee's book "Inside the Company: A CIA Diary" because it was about spying, not for its anti-imperialist content. What I read gave a face to imperial skulduggery as it was practiced in Latin America in the 1960s. Agee's book certainly did its job with me. I saw that secret intelligence agencies were not compatible with the basic principles of a (bourgeois) republic.
