Calls Interviews in Book ‘Fabrication’ : Widow Denies Casey, Woodward Talked

September 28, 1987|From the Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The widow of CIA director William J. Casey on Sunday called untrue Bob Woodward’s published statements that Casey admitted on his sickbed that he knew about diversion of profits from arms sales to Iran to the contras in Nicaragua .

Sophia Casey said that when Woodward, the Washington Post’s assistant managing editor for investigations, attempted to visit her husband in the hospital, guards stopped him before he could enter Casey’s room. She also said that Casey was unable to speak during his hospitalization because the right side of his neck and his tongue were partially paralyzed. “My husband could not converse,” she said.

In an interview with AP Radio, however, she said that her husband had been able to speak, although “he didn’t speak well . . . . He’d just say what he had to do: ‘yes,’ ‘no’ and stuff like that,” the Associated Press reported.

Woodward, in his forthcoming book, “VEIL: The Secret Wars of the CIA, 1981-1987,” reports that during a visit to Casey’s bedside, the CIA director indicated he knew about the diversion of profits from arms sales to the U.S.-backed rebel force in Nicaragua.
