Laughlin Austin Campbell was a CIA spook who was Chief of Station in several countries.[1][2]
Handler of Andreas Papandreou
"The agency flirted briefly with the variant in Greek politics offered by George Papandreou and his Harvard-educated son, Andreas Papandreou, in the early nineteen‐sixties, a former Greek official said. In the beginning, say about 1962 or '63, the CIA used Andreas as an agent, as a resource and supported him," the Greek said. "His buddy was Campbell," he added, referring to Laughlin A. Campbell, the CIA station chief from 1959 to 1962. In his 1970 book, "Democracy at Gunpoint," Andreas Papandreou describes a scene in 1961 in which he had an altercation with Mr. Campbell.[3]
