"how embarrassing would it be all the information about the CIA operations during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan becoming public on a trial"
He could have released such information without facing a trial. What you suspect makes entirely no sense.
- rbanffy 15y agoWhat would he gain from releasing such information before capture? BTW, isn't the timing of his capture attempt a bit odd? If we are to believe the US intelligence community was unable to track him down for years while he was hiding in a Pakistani suburb next to a military training facility, wouldn't they look singularly incompetent? I mean, did they really trust the Pakistani on that?
- nakkiel 15y agoNot to mention that there were not much information in his possession that isn't in someone else's. If there really were anything that hadn't be told yet about all those "CIA operations", I don't see how his death would prevent their release. Whether anybody has been listening (yet) is another matter.
