曾在克林顿政府时期担任美国中情局局长的R·詹姆斯·伍尔西于本周二在华盛顿家中因中风去世，享年84岁 [1]。
伍尔西于1993年初上任担任中情局局长，1995年初离职 [1]。在其任期内，他因对中情局叛逃人员奥尔德里奇·埃姆斯的主管们处罚不力而受到批评 [1]。埃姆斯从1985年至1994年被捕期间，向莫斯科出卖美国机密，获得250万美元的报酬 [1]。
伍尔西的政治生涯始于卡特政府，曾担任海军副部长 [1]。他于1941年9月21日出生在俄克拉荷马州塔尔萨 [1]，毕业于斯坦福大学和耶鲁法学院，曾是罗德奖学金获得者 [1]。
他的妻子将其近年来的健康恶化归因于"哈瓦那综合征"，这是一种神秘疾病，曾在部分美国外交官和政府人员中有过报告 [1]。
R. James Woolsey, who led the Central Intelligence Agency during President Bill Clinton's first term, has died at age 84 [1]. He passed away Tuesday at his home in Washington from a stroke [1].
Woolsey served as CIA director from early 1993 to early 1995 [1]. His wife attributed his declining health in recent years to "Havana syndrome," a mysterious condition reported by some U.S. diplomats and government personnel [1].
Before heading the CIA, Woolsey served as undersecretary of the Navy in the Carter administration [1]. He was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on September 21, 1941 [1], and held degrees from Stanford University and Yale Law School, and was a Rhodes Scholar [1].
During his tenure at the CIA, Woolsey faced criticism for insufficient sanctions against supervisors of Aldrich Ames, a CIA turncoat who was paid $2.5 million by Moscow for U.S. secrets from 1985 until his arrest in 1994 [1].
