Dear Sir:

Here is my reply to Mr. Haas’ letter of 8/19/08

When I initially wrote to The Citizen re Mr. Haas’ book, it was not my intention to engage in a prolonged dialogue with him, but I do feel that a reply to his letter is called for. In Mr. Haas’ opening paragraph, he implies that I am an apologist for the CIA, and I can’t let that go unchallenged. May I suggest that he, or anyone, who thinks I am an apologist for the CIA read my two books.
