Sure It Was Covid-19
May 18, 2020
The New York Times just published an obituary for Ralph W. McGehee,”a veteran of the Central Intelligence Agency’s clandestine crusades in Vietnam who went to war against the C.I.A.” McGehee is quoted as saying: “My idealism, my patriotism, my ambition, my plans to be a good intelligence officer to help my country fight the Communist scourge — what the hell had happened? Why did we have to bomb the people we were trying to save? Why were we napalming young children? Why did the C.I.A., my employer for 16 years, report lies instead of the truth?”
If we are going to have a CIA, then we need more agents like McGehee.
But what I thought funny was the report about his death. He “died May 2 at an assisted-living facility in Falmouth, Maine. He was 92.” “The cause was Covid-19, his son, Dan McGehee, said.”
Sure it was Covid-19. Does anyone over 90 in a nursing home actually die of Covid-19?
