		      Two views of Philip Agee:

"I have nothing but disdain for    "Philip Agee was not only    
Philip Agee.  [He is]		   morally entitled to expose   
disgraceful and despicalbe for	   the CIA, he had a legal duty 
blowing the cover of people	   to do so under the Nuremberg 
who served their country, the	   Principles." (Applied by the

    Exposing the CIA's operations and personnel is an act of
    solidarity with the victims . . . . The CIA was responsible for
    fascist terror, torture and assassinations in country after
    country . . . If U.s.  administrations use the CIA for political
    repression and if Congress could not, or would not srop it, then
    ordinary Americans have every right to work against them.

    "It is important to note that Philip Agee has never been accused
    of any crime. No CIA officer or agenst has ever been the object of
    attack of physical violence as a result of Agee's exposures. His
    purpoe, according to ihs writings, is to limit the CIA's ability
    to undermine democratic institutions and to promote political
    repression such as torture and murder by ``death squads.''"

the so-called "death squads" are actually run by the Salvadoran army

torture, the U.S. has also been involved more directly; use GET

PHILIP AGEE, the first CIA Secret Operations Officer to go public in
protest, is also the most controversial critic of the CIA since its
founding in 1947.  In his articles, books, speeches, Agee has done more
than anyone to expose the intricacies in the systematic covert
operations of the Central Intelligence Agency.  He has persistently
continued to write and speak despite being regularly hounded and
intimidated since the publication of Inside the Company, CIA Diary in
1975.  A leading activist of the CIA-off-Campus Movement he speaks on
campuses and for community groups across the country against the CIA
support of torture, political assassinations, and death squads and
overthrow of democratically elected governments around the world.
