Just finished the Spy Who Came in From the Cold by le Carré. I picked it up after he died and only recently got around to it. I can see how British intelligence was fine with this getting released. It came out in 1963 and portrays the British burning a few of their assets in the GDR as a horrendous moral stain.

Meanwhile in reality, mass murder and assassination were becoming the main tools of Western secret services either directly fighting or advising puppet governments fighting socialism.

Also the George HW Bush probably killed Kennedy that year too.
