Reminds me of this... William F. Buckley didn't just support the cold war — he actually participated in early CIA actions. In 1951 he became a deep cover CIA agent stationed in Mexico, reporting directly (and only) to E. Howard Hunt (who would later play a role in the Bay of Pigs invasion). Two years before his death, 79-year-old Buckley remembered a strange aftermath to his CIA work more than half a century before: In 1980 I found myself seated next to the former president of Mexico at a ski-area restaurant. What, he asked amiably, had I done when I lived in Mexico? Buckley's honest answer? "I tried to undermine your regime, Mr. President."* https://www.10zenmonkeys.com/2008/02/28/the-collected-controversies-of-william-f-buckley/ https://www.10zenmonkeys.com/2008/02/28/the-collected-contro...
