He spent nearly three decades in prison. Known the world over as a freedom fighter and an ambassador of social justice, today Nelson Mandela is an icon whose death in 2013 at age 95 sparked mourning around the globe. President Barack Obama and a high-profile official delegation that included former presidents Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton attended the memorial service, televised everywhere on the planet. Butif a former State Department official and reported Central Intelligence Agency operative can be believedthe U.S. government aided in Mandelas 1962 capture and thus bears some responsibility for the 27 years he spent in jail. Donald Rickard, who died in March, alleges that U.S. intelligence had a direct hand in Mandelas apprehension.

The day commie Mandela died was a good day, it would have a lot better day had he still been in prison.
But history repeats itsself and I think our current'Resident may just be his soul mate.
Whiny multi-culti history revisionists decry when the CIA actually got something right.
Fortunately, the first several commentators got it right, so I don’t have to labor at typing my own explanations of why this article, author and her State Department sources are so full of crap.
He should have been necklaced.
Mandela was a communist. He invented “necklacing”. He’s an animal and I’m glad he’s dead.
I just wish that South Africa, at the time of becoming a sovereign nation, would have given the existing blacks in the nation equal rights and then implemented a strict immigration policy. Either that, or split the country in half and let the blacks have their half and the whites have theirs.
No freedom fighter. Terrorist and racist.
Nelson Mandela was a terrorist along with his wife.
“I consider it a triumph of my home education program that, when he died, none of my students knew who he was. “
Ignorance is not a triumph of education. Did you also not teach them about Stalin, Hitler, Lenin ....
WOuld have been an "excellent" victory if they had also gotten that murderous scumbag of a wife at the same time.
Nelson Mandela is a g-d socialist bastard. And his wife. They have murdered countless people. They are overseeing the murders of thousands of whites in south africa by policies they enacted and in socialist spirit endorsed.
He needed outing and jailed.
The man personally was responsible for many murders, and he destroyed a nation. He must be a hero, but I would piss on his grave if I ever found myself near enough it to do so.
“No freedom fighter. Terrorist and racist.”
If he would have just accepted his second class legal status, this could all have been avoided. Separate but equal wasn’t so bad. And if he didn’t like it, he could always vote the bums out.
Oh wait....
Those are influential figures in world history to whom Nelson Mandela simply does not compare. They learned about some other Communists who overthrew crummy, but objectively superior, regimes, such as Fidel Castro.
Mandela - Another racial ‘hero’ who wasn’t.
Mandella lived to 95... proving there’s a lot of historical value in literally out-living all your enemies. Never saw a refutation of the evidence that the SA government had on him. It’s just kind of sluffed off by the Media.
Baloney. I always knew the bastard as a communist, terrorist, and murderer ... same as his demonic wife Winnie "Necklace" Mandela.
