Same “doctor” who treated Castro, no doubt.

On a side note, I would have thought that the best health care system in the world (according to the libs) could save him.

Castro was smart enough to use Spanish doctors to treat his GI problems. I would bet this guy would still be alive if he was in the states.

Based on the Mitrokhin Archive, a collection of KGB documents taken from the KGB archives by Vasili Mitrokhin, several Soviet defectors have claimed that Agee was an active and willing participant in Soviet disinformation operations. Oleg Kalugin, former head of the KGB’s Counterintelligence Directorate, states that in 1973 Agee approached the KGB’s resident in Mexico City and offered what Kalugin called a “treasure trove of information.” But the KGB was too suspicious to accept his offer.[8]

Kalugin states that:

“ Agee then went to the Cubans, who welcomed him with open arms...The Cubans shared Agee’s information with us. But as I sat in my office in Moscow reading reports about the growing revelations coming from Agee, I cursed our officers for turning away such a prize.[8] ”

While Agee was writing Inside the Company: CIA Diary, the KGB kept in contact with him through Edgar Anatolvevich Cheporov, a London correspondent of the Novosti News Agency.[

The rest of the story about this turd.

He should have taken his chances and not had the surgery. You know them old CIA traitors, sometimes they win, sometimes they lose.

Yep, and the really great thing is that if Hillary screws up our health care system, we will at least be able to go to Havana to get quality health care.

I wonder what was really going through his mind as he lay there dying knowing that a U.S. cancer center was less than 100 miles away?

Them guys that complain so much about American health care wouldn’t dare get treated in a place like Cuba except to a Cuban Psychiatrist to tell them how bad American health care is.
