Good point. I can not imagine that any government would like the
public to know that some of their highest ranking intelligence people
were potential spies from before WWII.
I had the distinct impression that Mr. Wright has an "axe to grind" on
how much his pension was and how well other retired intelligence
people are being treated. I doubt he made any friends in the
government when he published the book.
