A late friend of mine participated in the 1963 US-backed coup which culminated in the assassination of Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem.

I did ask him about that. I gather that this was a workplace rumor rather than something he was directly told. (You know, he has an email address at his blog. You could always ask him about this stuff yourself!)

I am mostly interested in the possible connexions to covert operations in the 1980s. The strange coincidences with CAR/TGS did intrigue me on the side; but it was you who said you had wondered whether he had intelligence connexions, so I thought I would point to that quotation of his as source material.

You're right, somebody who was interesting in pursuing this could email him. I wouldn't expect a very straight answer from somebody claiming to know the truth of the Ngo Dinh Diem coup, though! <LOL>

Even if it was a << workplace rumor rather than something he was directly told >>, that barely matters. Let's just say that his co-workers must have been interesting fellows.

Either he has connexions, or it was a white lie and he wants us to think he has connexions.
