The Day Mandela Was Arrested, With A Little Help From the CIA
December 7th, 2013Via: Time:
One of the great things about the late great Nelson Mandela is that he didn’t hold grudges.
How else could he have accepted normal relations with the CIA, which tipped off the white-supremacy regime to his whereabouts in 1962?
According to a 1990 Johannesburg Sunday Times newspaper account, a CIA agent by the name of Millard Shirley fingered Mandela for the apartheid regime’s secret police, allowing them to throw up a roadblock and capture him.
