Robomatic, you are correct in saying that there is some scepticism about the Intrepid book.
I took some of it with a bit of salt. I will note, however that the nature of secret opps that many people would not know the extent of Intrepid's involvement.

On the other hand, there are folks to the west of Toronto, who regarded him enough to name a park after him at the site of a spy training faciolity he ran, Camp X. Ian Fleming used many of Intrepid's exploits as models of various James Bond stories; and the points I was directing Ron to can be found in other sources. It just happened that I've been re-reading "Intrepid", so it was the first book that came to mind.
