The Counterpoint Group would like to express its condolences to the family of Rep. Charlie Wilson (D-TX) who passed away today. The cause of death was cardio-pulmonary arrest.
In recent years Rep. Wilson was made famous by the Aaron Sorkin film “Charlie Wilson’s War” based on the life of Rep. Charlie Wilson. During his 24 years in office (1972 through 2996), Rep. Wilson was responsible for channeling money to arm the mujahedeen in Afghanistan in their fight against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
