Dead at 92. The NSA sure got him good. I'm not sure why it took them 40 years though. Probably to deflect suspicion.

  Hehe. Of course NSA employees would never kill or conspire.

  Or you know, they could have just killed his career. Or that of others. A scandal with some extra marital affair leaked to the press or something, and there goes the path to the whitehouse for those deemed "unfit". What I do know is: a) it's idiotic to demand hard proof of such things, instead of using the best of what information is available to deduce if it's possible or not b) As Gore Vidal put it: "Americans have been trained by media to go into Pavlovian giggles at the mention of 'conspiracy,' because for an American to believe in a conspiracy he must also believe in flying saucers or, craziest of all, that more than one person was involved in the JFK murder." c) After something comes to light, be it Enron, the financial deregulated party going on pre-2008, the revelations about mass surveillance of American citizens, etc, idiots -- who previously was all jokes about "that's absurd" -- come out saying "of course, we knew all that all along"...

  The article isn't suggesting that he was assassinated. It's just remarking on the relative obscurity of his death.

  RTFA before making snarky comments. Nowhere does it suggest he was assasinated.
