Editor's note: Although it was reported the OSS officer Severino Sta 'Santy' Romano tortured General Yamashita's drive to extract from him the location of gold located in the Philippines pillaged by Japan throughout East Asia prior to WWII, it was likely an actual interrogation and not torture. Also present was
Edward Lansdale who later showed up in Dallas, Texas when President Kennedy was removed as a threat to those in power. Lansdale himself had no combat experience and was brought into the military and commissioned because he was an expert propagandist for the OSS. The wealth in the representation of billions worth of gold has subsequently been used as "political action funds." Very few people realize the Japanese were looting gold out of the east for decades prior to the start of WWII.

Farewell to Another Star Fighter

Last time I spoke with Neil Keenan he was upbeat, even chirpy, despite a recent bout with "medical" symptoms; it sounded like the usual recital of issues that come with men of a certain age, nothing too alarming, but in the background somehow I was remembering the numerous times that Neil endured being poisoned with exotic mixtures, everything from snake and frog and spider venoms to plain old nightshades and arsenic. His constant motion left him vulnerable to spur of the moment poisonings that left him alive, but not entirely recovered.
He explained early on that he had to take minute portions of poisons to build up his immune system, so every day, he had his "venom shot" that he tossed off as if it was nothing. Just a faint and momentary snarl of the lips and he was on to other things --- but I remembered, and I thought --- helluva situation when you have to poison yourself to prevent being poisoned.
