MIAMI – E. Howard Hunt, who helped organize the Watergate break-in that led to the downfall of Richard Nixon’s presidency, died Tuesday. He was 88.

He succumbed after a lengthy bout of pneumonia, his son, Austin Hunt, said. Hunt was many things: World War II soldier, CIA officer, organizer of both a Guatemalan coup and the botched Bay of Pigs invasion, and author of more than 80 books, many from the spy-tale genre.

Yet the bulk of his notoriety came from the one thing he always insisted he wasn’t – a Watergate burglar. He often said he preferred the term “Watergate conspirator.”

“I will always be called a Watergate burglar, even though I was never in the damn place,” Hunt told The Miami Herald in 1997. “But it happened. Now I have to make the best of it.”

3. Now, now remember karma!

I don't do this because I really feel that it will come back and bite me in the ass (or somewhere else where it will be uncomfortable). It could happen to you. So don't do it. Really.

6. Possibly also in Dallas in 1963

as one of the "3 tramps". This guy was everywhere that dirty rotten crimes were committed against this country. Good luck to him, in hell.
