William J. Casey, for better or worse, was a bad ass motherfucker. He swindled Reagan into office, scored the position of DCI, and co-founded the International Center for Economic Policy Studies - a lovable conservative think tank with ties to Bill Kristol (PNAC co-founder).
He was also an OG is the OSS and probably tortured/made friends with numerous war criminals.
Most importantly though, Mr. Casey helped funnel over $1 billion in covert assistance to the mujahadeen in Afghanistan. You know, those guys who were eventually blamed for knocking down a few of our buildings.
In any case, Mr. Casey, despite his penchant for assassinations, coups, and unregulated black Ops, was a bad ass motherfucker who's fingerprints can still be found upon America's current foreign and domestic policies.
