Activity in El Salvador[edit]

Following a thread from Haig v. Agee, the majority cites a NYT article ( on p. 280 footnote 7) as evidence that Philip Agee's disclosures led to violence: the 1981 murder of two unnamed "American officials" at the Institute in El Salvador.

The article goes further: it reports that the Solicitor General Wade McCree Jr identified these victims (Michael P. Hammer and Mark David Pearlman) as "under cover", before walking the claim back.

Given the stub class of the article, a whole section on this may be giving it undue weight, but it nonetheless seems noteworthy.
