Morgan in Colombia: Semana magazine

This past weekend, the magazine Semana in Bogotá, Colombia published this, Spanish-language article about William Morgan.

The reporter asked me if Morgan had been with the CIA. I said, "No," and I compared the facile slander of identifying someone as a CIA agent in Cuba with calling someone a communist in the US.

One protects one´s interests by identifying and discrediting "enemies" and, at the same time, truncates discussion. The question becomes, "Is he, or isn´t he?" rather than, "What did he really stand for?"
