I interviewed Bill Young in Chiang Mai in 1991. The gist of it is in my books. A lot of people, even Al McCoy, skirt around what he did, which in 1965 was to set up the CIA's 118 Strageic Intelligence Network. You should all check it out. Notably, although I have written about it, you will not be able to Google it.
On that same trip to the Far East, I spoke with Tony Pow in Udon Thani. I was supposed to meet Bill Lair but things got hairy in the bar he hung out at in bangkok. I did meet Jack Shirley at a bar in Bangkok but ended up having to flee.
There is a National Enquirer aspect to what went on in Laos and Northern Thailand and Burma. I may write an article about it. Partly for that reason, the real story is how people, even guys like Al McCoy, have censored the CIA's drug empire there.
