¤ Alternative Views 541. THE COMPANY AND THE COUNTRY: A CONVERSATION WITH PHIL AGEE (PART II) Former CIA case officer Philip “Phil“ Agee’s discussion continues. He recounts his years of being on the run in Europe, with the CIA trying to follow him and eliminate his story from being told. Agee tells about the “bugged“ typewriter a CIA undercover agent gave him, and about the CIA’s unsuccessful assassination attempt. ¤ Philip Agee “George Bush’s father (GHWB) came in as . director the month following the Welch assassination. As director he presided over the agency as they mounted a campaign throughout western Europe trying to make me appear to be a security threat, a traitor, a Soviet agent, a Cuban agent. All those sorts of things which led to my expulsion from five different NATO countries in the late 1970’s. In fact it was in all based on lies, and to think that I was responsible for the death of any . people for their exposures is absolutely false. No one as far as I know of all those people who were exposed as . people along with their operations was ever even harassed or threatened. What happened was, their operations were disrupted and that was the purpose of what we were doing. We were right to do it then, because the U.S. policy at the time, executed by the ., was to support murderous dictatorships around the world, as in Vietnam, as in Greece, as in Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil. And that’s only to name a few. We opposed that use of the U.S. intelligence service for those dirty operations. And I’m talking about regimes now that tortured and disappeared people by the thousands.“ ~ Former CIA case officer Philip “Phil“ Agee on Democracy Now! on October 02, 2003 Recorded November, 1995 Copyright December, 1995 This movie is part of the collection: Alternative Views Producer: Frank Morrow Production Company: Alternative Information Network Audio/Visual: sound, color Language: English Creative Commons license: Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States
