Or read the forthcoming issue of CounterPunch, which details precisely why this "news" was in fact old--the FBI had deliberately leaked the fact that Leary was snitching at the time to further disrupt the Weather Underground and what remained of the Panthers. Abbey Hoffman, in 1974, called Leary a traitor to the cause, "worse than Benedict Arnold." Leary got his start as a shrink in Oakland developing personality tests (the "Leary" for the FBI, CIA and the Cal. prison system), was adopted at Harvard by Henry Murray (former OSS shrink) and began slipping CIA provided LSD to prisoners at the Mass. Correctional Institute. He was a real ass from the beginning.
