- threepipeproblm 10y agoWait, you think libertarians are pro-CIA?
- jacalata 10y agoI would have guessed not but Theil is certainly classed as libertarian whenever I've heard it discussed, and he is Palantirs major shareholder, and Palantir is a CIA shop. Connection seems pretty clear in this context.
- StreamBright 10y agoYes we and Wikipedia as well do remember him. "After federal investigators were unable to prove these initial accusations, the government conducted a separate investigation and was ultimately only able to charge Lee with improper handling of restricted data, one of the original 59 indictment counts, to which he pleaded guilty as part of a plea settlement. In June 2006, Lee received $1.6 million from the federal government and five media organizations as part of a settlement of a civil suit he had filed against them for leaking his name to the press before any formal charges had been filed against him.[2] Federal judge James A. Parker eventually apologized to Lee for denying him bail and putting him in solitary confinement, and excoriated the government for misconduct and misrepresentations to the court.[3]"
