That's an article that supposedly exonerates him? LOL! First the guy says this: "...We had an agent -- a well-known American journalist -- with a good reputation, who severed his ties with us after 1956. I myself convinced him to resume them. But in 1968, after the invasion of Czechoslovakia . . . he said he would never again take any money from us."... Then he tries to backpedal with this? "...In early September, Kalugin told several journalists attending a Nation-sponsored conference held in Moscow that, while he had indeed been referring to Stone in his Exeter speech, he had not meant that Stone had been a paid KGB agent -- only that he had sometimes lunched on the Soviet tab. He went on to say that by "agent" he had simply meant a useful contact, not an intelligence tool. Geez, how weak is that?
