It gets worse....

Morton Halperin during the mid-1970s befriended Philip
Agee, a former-CIA-agent-turned-Communist who publicly
identified hundreds of purported American Central
Intelligence Agency agents. At least one of these agents,
Athens station chief Richard Welch, was murdered shortly
thereafter. Halperin flew to Europe to help Agee find safe
haven after Great Britain expelled him. In the U.S.,
Halperin opposed legislation to punish the outing of U.S.
undercover agents as Agee had done. Halperin has described
the CIA as “the subverter of everybody else’s freedom.”

Halperin, as Director of the Washington, D.C. office of
the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), in this era
also defended the right of The Progressive magazine to
publish secret details it had obtained of how to make an
atomic bomb.
