Charlie Wilson died. If you haven’t read the book or seen the movie, Charlie Wilson’s War, you have missed out. He was a hell of a man, and he will be missed. A friend of my parents, he would routinely stop by my house when I was a child. On one occasion my mother had to put him to bed in my room. When I was eight there was only one way to respond to a snoring drunk. Mom and dad came in the next morning to find Charlie, still sleeping, covered in toys.Wednesday, February 10, 2010

Hi Tommy...
I need to do more research, but wasn't Mr. Wilson one of those characters during the Reagan years who assisted in tricking the Soviets to attack Afghanistan and ultimately was one of those responsible for creating al Qaeda?
