(5,082 posts)William Colby is a mild mannered man. He was the head of the CIA in Asia from 1966-70. And he was Director of the CIA from 1973-76. He knew Cheney personally and DeCamp served under him in Vietnam. He watched Cheney's rise to power. I read his intro myself. He supported everything in the book and was scared for his life. He was found drowned (he was an Olympic swimmer as a younger man) 6 months after writing that intro where it seemed he was trying to set his conscience straight as he saw true evil rising to power. He was found drowned the morning before he was supposed to testify at a civil trial for the family of George White, the CIA guy who was dosed on acid, freaked out and was pushed out a high rise window or jumped to his death decades before. But Colby saw that Cheney was to be feared and for more than people realized back in '95. People should've listened as he became VP 5 years later(essentially prez like Bush Sr was under figurehead Reagan) and he allowed 911, Patriot Acted us and dragged us into Irag and Afghanistan. Believe what you want.
