Frank Snepp
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frank Warren Snepp (born 3 May 1943, Kinston, North Carolina) is a journalist and former chief analyst of North Vietnamese strategy for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Saigon during the Vietnam War. He is currently a producer for KNBC-TV.
Snepp published his controversial Vietnam memoir, Decent Interval, in 1977, at great risk to his career. Snepp accused the CIA of ruining his career and violating his First Amendment rights. The CIA, in return, claimed Snepp had violated his employment agreement by speaking out. Snepp enlisted the help of the American Civil Liberties Union in his defense.
