| McKee's behavior before
returning to the United States is strange. He is initially booked
on Pan Am 103 December 22nd, changing to Pan Am 103 December 21st. His communications man from Beirut,
through a secure link, had sent the travel details to McKee's
operational control. This same member of McKee's Special
Forces Unit has confirmed that McKee hated drugs and had fired his
Beiruit driver, before leaving Lebanon, when he caught him with drugs. After McKee's death, there are stories
that members of the hostage rescue team, among them McKee, had been very
upset when they discovered that the agents they were asked to work with
were drug dealers. There are suggestions that McKee was on
his way home to expose the drugs-for-intelligence operation.
The Drug Enforcement Agency are
watching McKee. Mike Hurley, separately, telexes
McKee's final travel arrangements to the CIA Directorate of Operations
in Washington, to MI-6, the British Secret Service, and to SPAG, the CIA
Special Action Group in Germany, in overall control of the drugs
intelligence operation. Every
spook there is, will know that McKee is flying back on December 21st.

The announcer next dropped his bomb on
me:

I immediately wondered what he meant by
"agents": CIA, DIA, DEA agents or snitches.

The outrageous gall. The way I see
this is that they just accused me of fingering Pan Am 103 to
eliminate Major McKee because he was a threat to a drugs
intelligence operation, which didn't exist.
As the film continued, the announcer
bounced back to a disjointed telephone conversation ...

For example, silence was traditionally
considered a tacit admission if a statement made in the
party's presence was heard and understood by the party, who
was at liberty to respond, in circumstances naturally
calling for a response, and the party failed to respond.
