Was George Kisevalter a mole, or just a really, really gullible and un-observant CIA "handler"?

Even his biographer, Clarence Ashley, and David Wise, the author of Molehunt, suggest that he may have been the former.

(to be continued ...)

It's interesting that "useful idiot" (or worse) Tom Mangold quotes Kissevalter so often in his propagandistic book, Cold Warrior.

Kisevalter had such a distinctive way of speaking, even when Mangold doesn't name him I know he's where many of the quotes came from.

That and the fact that Kisevalter contradicted Tennent H. Bagley to an such a large degree, and that's evidently what Mangold was looking for.

It's also interesting to note that Tennent H. Bagley wrote in his book Spy Wars that he frequently found himself cringing when (ostensibly) gregarious, (ostensibly) garrulous, (ostensibly) self-promoting Kisevalter would volunteer classified information to "walk-in" (false) defector Nosenko during their five meetings in June of 1962 in Geneva ...
