Outspoken CIA agent Philip Agee dies
Philip Agee, a former CIA agent who became a bitter critic of Washington's Cuba policy, has died aged 72, Cuban state media reported today.
Agee quit the CIA in 1969 after 12 years, mainly working in Latin America. He was later denounced as a traitor by George Bush Sr and was threatened with death by his former colleagues.
His famous 1975 book, Inside the Company: CIA Diary, cited alleged CIA misdeeds against leftwingers in the region and included a 22-page list of people he claimed were agency operatives.
His US passport was revoked in 1979 because he was said to have threatened national security. He eventually moved to Havana to open up a travel site encouraging people to visit the island.
Agee was reported to have died following surgery on an ulcer.
