On 24 September 2001, just thirteen days after terrorist attacks against symbols of U.S. economic and military might in New York and Washington, Philip Agee visited Stockholm to address the issue of U.S. influence on Swedish news media, in a series of events arranged by Nordic News Network (details at: www.nnn.se/abf/abf.htm).

Agee is one of the most interesting and important figures in modern U.S. history. No one has done more to shed light on the darker side of U.S. foreign policy, based on the knowledge and insights he gained as an agent of the CIA, the Central Intelligence Agency.

His disclosures have been important in their own right, but his example may be even more important. He was the first to leave the CIA and reveal its secrets to the world— confirming much of what had long been suspected, but routinely dismissed as ideological nonsense, “conspiracy theories” and so on. Since then, many former employees of the CIA and other government agencies have provided valuable service

by following his example.
