Philip Agee 's life is an admirable example of someone who put his ethical conscience before greed of power and out of control immorality, which symbolises for me how the CIA operates.
We are enriched by his courage and the example of the simple life he chose to live in Havana in accord with his beliefs. With thanks and buen camino Mr Agee.
A good and brave man. RIP
