CIA whistle-blower Philip Agee dies in Cuba
HAVANA (Reuters) - Philip Agee, a former CIA agent who exposed its undercover operations in Latin America in a 1975 book, died in Havana, the Cuban Communist Party newspaper Granma said on Wednesday.
Regarding your headline, Agee was a traitor who exposed fellow CIA agents to violence and murder by revealing their names in his book. False lionizing of this traitor makes YOU HIS ACCOMPLICES.If you hate America so much, then base your offices in Cuba. Need help packing? LET US KNOW…

Several readers objected to the “whistle-blower” headline, making a fair point. We subsequently change the headline to:

Boadle does a fine job whitewashing Agee’s treason and subsequent responsibility for the murder of CIA operatives.
Newsflash, Reuters: The internet is your worst nightmare. You can’t get away with presenting the “facts” as you see fit.
Over the last 40 years, the American media has gradually synchronized with the leftist party line, which is part and parcel of modern journalism.
Once considered the “Fourth Estate”, the press has mutated into the “Fifth Column”.
Most of them are so visceral and leftwing it makes the likes of Vladimir Lenin look like a Republican.
They want all of the rights of free press but none of the consequences.
It’s supposed to be the “watchdog” , but who watches the “watchdog”?
Well, you just got your answer.

- Posted by Rat traitor dies in Cuba. - Political WrinklesThe AP is sadly just as leftist and hateful of America as is Reuters.
- Posted by TimIs there any evil historical figure that Reuters can’t find praise for? If they did a bio on the devil he’d be labeled an ‘activist of heaven’.
- Posted by ShepIs anybody really surprised by this? Like AP calling Hussein the journalist an innocent bystander, even though he was bagged with terrorist docs and weapons.
Whom doesn’t Reuters love that isn’t an enemy of the United States, or civilization in general?
I have to wonder if Reuters has portraits of former Reichminster and Pride of the Fatherland Josef Goebbels adorning their offices.
Then again, maybe not.
- Posted by JohnnyTWhat would you call…
… a former CIA operative who betrays fellow agents and runs away to Cuba? Reuters started out with the word “whistle-blower,” but has since taken a different line.
- Posted by Beneath the PeakUnsurprisingly, right-of-center blogs see this as another example of …
Now that I really know where Reuters stands, I’ll give all your reporting (and the publications that use your material) a big miss.
Perhaps your organization should seek refuge in Cuba as well. Pretty sure you’ll fit right in.
