Thought number three:
In my humble opinion, Simpich's hero Jefferson Morley is a joke.
For no good reason, imho, Morley denigrates head of CIA Counterintelligence James Angleton (who was forced by probable mole William Colby to retire in 1974) to the 9th degree in his reprehensible book
The Ghost (see my one-star review of it at Amazon), and
still believes that "KGB officer" Yuri Nosenko was a true defector -- although John Newman and Peter Dale Scott don't.
What's up with that, Jeff?
Answer: Morley evidently trusted the pronouncements of probable mole George Kisevalter, and, afaik, HSCA perjurer John L. Hart, too. (See what I've posted about those two "useful idiots or worse" in the Off Topic section.)
