He wrote books on it with footnotes and interviews from real people. It was also stated by some that he actually was recruiting for the CIA while at UGA....

I had a class at UA that had to do with him(UA published his book IIRC), and he was described as anything but a conspiracy nut. A professor of mine alluded that he was much more than a bystander. In 1995 he received the CIA's Studies in Intelligence award. Don't think too many tinfoil hat people receive that. It was also alluded to that he was some sort of mouth piece for the CIA, putting out their side of the story and passing it off as a 3rd party. Hell, one of his stories is on their website.
Anyways, I was always interested with him and his involvement with "Air America". He came up a few times in a data analysis class. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he had his hand in the opium trade.

I had a history professor similar to this, but his work with the CIA had been closer to the 50's-70's. It was a World History class fromm 1800 to modern times, so he had some interesting knowledge of certain events.
