The Reagan campaign of 1980, which Casey managed, was his springboard
into the directorship of the CIA. He was the most controversial director
in the agency's history; his hands-on buccaneering style produced dirty
fingers in Central America and hostages-for-arms in Iran, despite
Congressional prohibitions against such activity. Questions also emerged
about Casey's role in the 1980 "October Surprise," an alleged scheme to
delay the release of hostages in order to prevent the re-election of
President Carter. Casey died on May 6, 1987, just one day after the first
witness was called to testify in the Iran-contra investigation. Had he
lived, there is no doubt that he would have been a major target of the
special prosecutor.
