David Charles MacMichael (June 6, 1926 – May 16, 2022) was a contract employee of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) who served two years as an analyst.
[4] MacMichael reportedly resigned from the CIA in July 1983 because he felt the Agency was misrepresenting intelligence for political reasons.
[5][a] His public resignation from the Agency gave credence and notability to his vocal indictment of the Reagan Administration's policy toward Central America.
"[8] In July 2005, he testified at a special joint hearing of Congressional and Senate Democrats about the consequences of the Plame affair.
[12] In September 2015 MacMichael and 27 other members of VIPS steering group wrote a letter to the President challenging a recently published book, that claimed to rebut the report of the United States Senate Intelligence Committee on the Central Intelligence Agency's use of torture.
