Douglas Caddy Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 From the article: The [Vietnam] war did not go well for Mr. Conein. He was increasingly unhappy as a small covert operation grew into a huge military disaster. He retired from the C.I.A. in 1968 and contemplated a war-surplus trading venture in Vietnam. In 1971, he declined an offer from E. Howard Hunt, another retired C.I.A. officer, to join President Richard M. Nixon's ''plumbers,'' the secret team that bungled the Watergate burglary.

What if Conein had been arrested at Watergate? What would have been the point of having him show-up at that party?
