So let me get this straight. Angleton was paranoid about the CIA being compromised, he gets fired and his eventual successor as head of counter intelligence is turned by the Soviets.

BTW, while living in Ann Arbor in the 70s, my ex and I had a roommate whose dad was a high level spook (and his mom was a federal administrative judge - there is no permanent government in Washington, not at all). Recently while googling the roommates name I found out that his dad replaced Angleton as head of counter intelligence.

Just Asking

Could Iranian defector Brig. Gen. Ali Reza Asghari be to the intelligence aspect of the global war on terror what Romanian General Ion Mihai Pacepa was to the intelligence war against the Eastern Bloc Communists?

[...] Update: Moran parses the contradictions and prays we haven’t blown it here. He thinks one possibility is that WaPo was purposely fed disinformation to see how the Iranians would react to the news, although in that case, why have a second U.S. official deny the reports the very next day? digg_url = ‘http://hotair.com/archives/2007/03/08/fox-news-senior-us-official-says-iranian-general-is-not-in-custody/’;digg_topic = ‘political_opinion’; [...]

I’ll believe this guy defected when he appears in public and announces it.
