[6] Kalb quit this post two years later to protest what he called "the reported disinformation program" conducted by the Reagan Administration against the Libyan leader Col. Muammar al-Gaddafi.

[7] Kalb said, "you face a choice, as an American, as a spokesman, as a journalist, whether to allow oneself to be absorbed in the ranks of silence, whether to vanish into unopposed acquiescence or to enter a modest dissent.

[citation needed] Kalb won an Overseas Press Club Award for a 1968 documentary on the Vietcong.

[10] On January 2, 2023, Kalb suffered a fall and died from his injuries six days later at his home in North Bethesda, Maryland.
